Basic EKG Course

Published

Questions for whoever can answer. A handful of nursing positions I'm applying for ask "Have you completed a basic arrhythmia/EKG course." Some of them only require BLS and a few ACLS certification.

Main question: Does the American Heart Association (AHA) course Learn: Rhythm Adult meet the "basic arrhythmia/EKG course?" I have completed the course. It's kinda funky cause I'm ACLS and BLS certified and then I stumble on their question about the basic EKG course. I know EKG strips fairly well and throughout the ACLS and school I nailed them pretty good. I am a new grad by the way.

Thanks for the input and info

I wonder about this too. I think ACLS covers it. I had a question the other day about taking Basic First Aid. I've never taken a specific course but I think being an RN kinda covers that.

No. It is a separate class. I have taken The Beat Goes On class at two different hospitals.
