Telemetry-how do I prepare!! :/

Published

I just accepted a job as a new graduate nurse on the telemetry unit. Was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on how to prepare, what I should review, or any advice you could give me to help me prepare for the position would be great.

God bless!

Practice ekg strips online. There are many free websites. The more you do them, the more you get confident in interpreting the strips. Find out where your resources are and use them to learn. Get some calipers and start looking at them!

Tele alarms will go off all the time and knowing what you're looking at will be crucial. Practice, practice, practice!
