New FNP Grad Gone Cardiac EP Specialty

[sweetmissdixie]

Seeking some advice/resources from any EP NPs (or PAs)

I recently graduated from my FNP program and have been offered a job in cardiac EP. I was a nurse in the EP doc's office for about a year and a half before I was approached for the position, so I know more about the specialty than a typical FNP would, but definitely could use more information in regards to a provider role. I will be trained, of course, but want to get a head start on building my knowledge base. I am looking for good resources directed toward APRN management of EP patients if they are out there, or something close.

Any texts or online resources you have found to be particularly helpful? I appreciate any tips you can give me :)

I worked for EP and Invasive group for first 10 yrs of NP practice. It was a great experience. I studied everything i could get my hands on! Bottom line is you are a novice. Dont go on your own until you are confident! Good luck and have fun!

It sounds like you already have an advantage. Perhaps you can peruse your collaborative physician's texts and resources.

Reach out to any of the reps, from any of the companies. They will be happy to provide you with vast knowledge, and usually really good food, too.
