Learning to read EKG strip??

I've been an RN for several years, but work as a Psych RN and currently Dept Manager. I really want to learn to read EKG strips so I can one day take an ACLS class and possibly get into ER nursing. Any good books or web sites for self learning? Any pointers? All info is greatly appreciated. :yes:

    ACLS is easy, their rhythms are covered in the ACLS manual book and are very straight forward. A good library of complicated rhythms is ekglibrary.com

    Make sure you know how to read a 12 lead EKG as this gives you a bigger picture of what is going on.

    Check you local hospital, they may have an EKG course.

    its better to learn the physiology behind how they work, such as why they deflect certain ways, etc. I am by far not the best at them but it really does help over just looking for "tombstones" or other named waveforms.

    This was a good free site that helped me. EKG

    You can also sign up for ECG/EKG Certification course through American Heart Association. It is a very thorough course and the final test is tough, you have 3 tries to complete it. Best wishes.
