i am going into my fourth semester this fall and am extremely nervous for both clinical, SIM and class. Last semester students and all previous students before them, said fourth semester was extremely hard and the professors are impatient, have attitudes, etc. and I've met both that truly are that way. They get so irritated when you ask questions and give you attitudes about it.
Anywho, first 8 weeks is over cardiac like arrhythmias, cardiac diseases, etc. and disasters, spinal injuries, idk what else. Some more med-surg again I believe.
i have about 2 weeks before classes start and I kind of reviewed normal sinus rhythm, tried to understand the EKG strip itself.
can anyone tell me some helpful resources to prepare for fourth? For cardiac and everything else? Something free online, or some good books?
For the arrythmias, I'd like a source that's easy to understand and starts from how to read EKG from normal rhythms, to arrythmias, and what diseases causes them, the patho, s/s, how to treat it, meds for them, nursing considerations and interventions, etc.
I've found some sites but they're either confusing or they don't explain what causes these arrhythmias and how to treat them and the mess etc.
also resources for the other topics I've mentioned. I'd really appreciate it!
im also hearing impaired, and I learn visually. So any sites with good videos besides YouTube, is helpful
