EKG Classes in Arizona

Published

:heartbeatI am a new grad nurse who is struggling with EKGs. My work is not willing to pay for or provide EKG training, but I am willing to pay for it myself. Here's the problem...I don't know where to go. Does anyone know of some good schools providing thorough EKG training/certification? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. :heartbeat

For starters, I recommend the book, Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition by Dale Dubin. You can find it at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Dubin/dp/0912912065

I just finished a course (NCE214CA) at Gateway C.C. It was 1 day/wk for 4 weeks. Each class was 4 hours long. I think they repeat the course about every 8 weeks. I highly recommend this class. You get a good understanding of the cardiovascular system and won't just be memorizing EKG patterns.

Good luck.

I took Gateway's EKG class 2 years ago and HIGHLY recommend it. The books are great, but being in the class room environment taught me so much. I forgot the name of the teacher, but I've taken other classes from her and she is great!
