1: One of the great books to learn basic EKG strip interpretation
I am one of those people who sometimes quickly forget what I read if I deem the subject difficult or intimidating. Often I have to get more than one reference, but this is one of the better books on learning basic EKGs. Lots of practice strips, flash cards, and thorough explanations. Once I learned the KEY differences of certain rhythms to simplify recognition then read the WHY OR HOW it happens, it made learnng EKGs so much easier, at least it did for me. I used to have such a mental block with learning EKGs because it looked like a foreign language, and involves a human life; it made me paranoid. I took a couple of home study classes in the past (just to conquer learning it, for my personal enrichment), but this book along with a formal class helped to prepare me for ACLS (for continuing education only). I am proud I finally learned the concepts to put it all together. I do not practice in acute care, but I am proud I understand a lot more thanks to this book. Now, if only I can find a really good book on algebra then I will feel like a genius!! ;-) I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BE THE ONLY BOOK NEEDED TO LEARN EKG INTERPRETATION.

2: Very Practical for new and seasoned RNs
Good review of the topic and the practice tests were a great way to sharpen rhythm interpretations skills.
|
3: ECG Workout
This was a textbook for my nursing classes. It had good information and was very helpful in being able to read ECG's for the new practitioner.
|
4: didn't use it much
This was required for my adult health class, and even though I didn't use it much I found it to be informative.
|
5: I really like the quiz cards for review in the back of the book
The course I took did not follow the book, but I think this is pretty helpful, especially the perforated flash cards included in the back. From an ICU nurse.
