Hey all...

I found this website for ecg testing on an old thread and I know sometimes it's hard to do a search for the three letter things like ecg, etc...:D So I thought I'd post this incase anyone else has a test coming up. Our instructor stressed that getting good at these will take practice and she's not having any on the test that we have to plot b/c she said that'd be impracticle, she said she would give a strip of the more recognizable ones and we'd have to label based on the appearance. So I found I did find the site helpful. (you don't have to log in with a name just hit the red play button)

Thanks for the tip! I needed the refresher but my boyfriend is going to paramedic school and he will appreciate this even more since they are currently in the agony of studying ECGs and meds.:bowingpur

To those that are having problems seeing the site...my guess is you are using a Mac...am I right? Try using a different browser...that should fix your problem.

Nope, I have a Dell and it uses Windows; the screen is really tiny for me....I have Foxfire and Internet Explorer.

Thanks so much for this info, Kittyhawk! It's people like you that help us from becoming too jaded about nurses not helping each other.

Try using it in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox or Safari. It should work then.

If you're using Mozilla Firefox browser try pressing the CNTRL Key and the Plus sign a few times, this increases the size of the web page displayed.

Thanks for reposting the link! A great resource!
