Hi everyone,
I just started my 1st nursing job the beginning of Sept. on a tele unit. I just started taking a tele class this past Tues. and am having a very difficult time readying the strips. Does anyone have any suggestions on some things that might help me? Books, websites, or any advice that helped you when you were new. Thanks in advance.
Lauren

Dale Dubin's "Rapid Interpretation of EKG" - AWESOME BOOK!!

Just keep practicing, you'll get it. This is one of those things you have to keep reviewing and practicing everyday...even if for 10-15 minutes.

This is simple and to the point, and I give this to most of my new nurses and monitor watchers and it seems to help them.

I am a tele/ecg tech and the Dale Dubin book is great. I bring it to work with me every night. Also, practice, practice, practice!!! I watched a cardio doc the other morning come in and read 128 twelve leads in less than 30 mins. The guy has been doing it for over 35 years. So with time you will get better.

Could you try to describe the problem you are having? This way we could give you specific advise if it happens to be one of those mental blocks we all get from time to time.
