    I did an online search asking for "ecg interpretation help" and many sites popped up.  Some with 12 steps, some offer 6 steps, some with 7 steps to ecg interpretation.  

    Two possible sites:

    geekymedics.com

    medtigo.com

    NIH has some instruction too.

    Look over what is available and choose what appeals to your learning style.  You can do this!

    I have attached a pdf copy of a basic ECG interpretation PowerPoint presentation I used to present to new nurses in the PICU.

    If you prefer something more detailed, I found this on Amazon in both Kindle, paperback, and spiral bound format.  The few pages I was able to sample seemed fairly well written.

    Just be consistent when  reading every single EKG and you won't miss anything.  It's the most important pearl I can share with a beginner.  They are only going to test you on basic rhythms and the few that you woukd see most often as side effects from psych meds.
