Hi, I'm Brooke. 
LPN · CCDS · CRAT · and the person who built the resource I wish I'd had.

I spent five years as a Certified Cardiac Device Nurse in a busy electrophysiology clinic — interrogating and reprogramming devices across all four major manufacturers, triaging remote monitoring alerts, and translating complex device concepts for patients at the bedside.​

 

When I sat for the IBHRE CCDS exam, I was the only person in my clinic pursuing the credential that year. No study group. No mentor. 

 

I passed. And then I spent a long time thinking about what I would have done differently — and what I would have given to have something that just made the material click.​

 

The CIED Mentor is that something.​

 

It's written the way I wish someone had explained it to me: direct, clinically grounded, and strategy-first. Not a textbook reprint. Not a guideline summary. A real study companion built by someone who has done the job and passed the test.​

 

If you're preparing for the CCDS exam, I'm glad you're here.​

 

Sensing. Pacing. Passing.
