12 lead EKG resources?

Can anybody recommend any good 12 lead EKG resources? Books or online learning (as long as it is reasonably priced!) My institution no longer offers a class and honestly the online modules I have tried haven't been very effective...I feel like I need a really good review book or some sort of online presentation that I can view. I seem to do better when someone tries to explain something to me. Thanks everyone!

    Thanks for the resources!

    Halleh, I heard that book is great. I just wasn't sure if it focused more on rhythm interpretation (on a standard strip) instead of 12-lead interpretation. I have ECG Workout by Jane Huff RN which is great, but doesn't go into 12-lead interpretation. ECG's Made Incredibly Easy is also another good source but it only touches briefly on 12-lead interpretation.

    Another great book that I've used is:

    12-Lead EKG Confidence a Step By Step Guide

    Amazon.com: 12-Lead EKG Confidence: A Step-by-Step Guide, Second Edition (9780826104724): Ms. Jacqueline M. Green MS RN APN-C CNS CCRN, Dr. Anthony J. Chiaramida MD FACC: Books

    Its a bit more expensive but it focuses on the 12-lead and breaks it down in a way so that you understand the whys and hows instead of strict memorization. It's really user-friendly and interesting.

    Hope that helps!

    first thing i would do is talk to your nursing educator, see if you can get a class together.

    i am looking to take the cen and was told to look at this company:

    meded's cen review with jeff solheim,

    they also have a 12 lead class.

    i had to take my 12 lead class at a teaching hospital.

    Check out Bob Page. He is a well known EMS educator and teaches a great 12-lead course all over the country and also internationally. You might want to check his website to see if he will be in your area. I attended his 12-lead course which was filled with both Paramedics and RN's.

    Looks like the one I can attend will be in Dallas...do you know how much he charges for his 12-lead course? I also see he has a book on 12-leads :)

    The company I work for had paid for mine so I am not sure what the cost of the course is. Sorry.
