Hi Laurenjarrod,

I too am a new grad on a medical telemetry unit. I'm not confident enough on my reading all my strips, but "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" seems to be the key to getting better. My unit doesn't expect me to know it all, so everyone has no problem when I ask them to verify my interpretations.

As for as books... My school uses "Introduction to Basic Cardiac Dysrhythmias," 3rd ed., by Atwood, Stanton, and Storey-Davenport. It's pretty easy reading with lots of practice strips.

Good luck to us both!
