Specializes in long term care.

Congrats on the new position.

Just take it one day at a time. My biggest obstacle was learning to read EKG strips and the cardiac drugs. But one day at a time and you will do fine.

Best wishes.

Hello, bklynborn,:nurse:

I suggest a course in basic dysrhythmias and an ECG course. Also, be sure to get ACLS.
