Elevate your cardiovascular nursing career with effective prep for the CV-BC™ certification.
The ANCC CV-BC™ exam, administered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), is designed for nurses seeking certification in cardiovascular nursing. This certification validates your skills and knowledge in providing specialized care to patients with cardiovascular conditions, which is crucial for roles in cardiac care units, telemetry, and other heart-related clinical settings.

To be eligible, candidates must hold a current RN license, have at least two years of full-time nursing experience, and accrue 2,000 hours of clinical practice in cardiovascular nursing. Additionally, 30 hours of continuing education in cardiovascular nursing within the last three years are required.

The exam consists of 125 questions, 100 of which are scored and 25 unscored. You have 3 hours to complete it. A passing score typically requires around 350 out of 500 points. The CV-BC™ credential is valid for five years, with renewal options through continuing education or re-examination.
