This is what I was looking for and what I've heard from several people. Just wanted to make sure. I thought that, again.. "by definition," 3 consecutive PVCs is considered a run. Thanks a lot for everyone's speedy responses. Appreciate it!

In class learning about reading EKG strips. Talking about A. fib, A. flutter, V. fib, V. tach, etc. I know there is Couplet PVCs and from what I see online (obviously not all of the best resources) there is also "Triplet PVCs." Not sure if there is actually, by definition, "Triplet PVCs" or if it is considered a 3 beat run of V. tach. Talked to a Paramedic friend and he said he had learned that any more than 2 consecutive PVCs is considered a run of V. tach. What does everyone else know about this? Not that its a pressing question or that I'd be terribly concerned about 3 PVCs in a row, just curious how everyone learned this and what you personally consider a "run." Thanks in advance!

Definitely just depends on where you work. I've seen people who've had to cover their tattoos up with long sleeve shirts, but I've also seen nurses in the Emergency Room with 2 full sleeves.

The TEAS test to simply get INTO a nursing program? It really isn't difficult, at all. If you did fine in high school or in previous college classes you will be fine! I'm about a B average student and I had no difficulty with the TEAS. Don't sweat the small stuff! As for a study guide, I'm not really sure.
