Does anyone know any good websites (pref free) that can help me review EKG's?? I have my RN exit exam at the hospital Im working at in a couple of days and I dont want to fail b/c I suck at EKG's. :banghead: I've always had such a hard time with keeping all the rhythms straight. Any sugggestions would be very appreciated!

EKG flash simulator. It's really easy to use and fun, and helps learn the rhythms.

I'm using firefox and have a mouse with a scrollwheel. To change the size of the page (for me), hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel to adjust the size of the page. Works on all pages with firefox.

Do you have an iTouch? I just got "Instant ECG" $4.99 iTunes store. Very cool, onscreen live action rhythms, tutorial all re. diagrams etc.

Tip just remember where in the heart the problem is... that will tell you where in the rhythm to look (for the basics)
