The binder contains a variety of stemi ekgs. Quite often, the first person to see an ekg is a tech and we want our folks to know when they need to find a doc just a little bit quicker. Just like you did.

silverbat 617 Posts Specializes in Care Coordination, MDS, med-surg, Peds. Has 22 years experience. Nov 18, 2014 You did well to get qualified help so quickly! I had a similar experience as a new GN, I didn't know WHAT was wrong about the Strip, but I knew enough to recognize that it was wrong in time to yell for help.I do have one concern.... on your profile it says UC BEARCAT MURSE BSN, RN.. but says you are a nursing student.If you are a student, your profile saying you are a licensed RN is beyond misleading and possibly illegal as Nurse is a protected title legally. It may appear as if you are passing yourself off as something you are not. If, indeed you ARE a BSN, RN, please adjust your profile as it is misleading.
