Which EKG book?

Hi, I start a graduate entry Bachelor of Nursing degree in Australia in about a month. I am trying to decide between two EKG (ECG) books. Rapid Interpretation of EKG's or ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy. I have been recommended both by other students but am unsure which would be more helpful. At this point I'm leaning towards 'Made Incredibly Easy' but I would be very appreciative of any advice. There is no set book by the University so it's up to me to decided which of these two books (or a different one entirely) would be the best choice.

I really like Rapid Interpretation of EKGs. I first saw it during nursing school, and again just this past weekend when I took a 12-lead course. It's been an awesome resource, and I highly recommend it. :)

Thanks for the recommendation! :) I think I'm back to leaning towards Rapid Interpretation of EKGs now. I think it was just that the "made incredibly easy" made me feel less worried. The online reviews for Rapid Interpretation make it seem like I couldn't really go too wrong by picking it.

I have two EKG books - ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy and ECG Workout by Jane Huff. Both books are very good and explain things very well. If you are looking for more ECG practice, the ECG Workout book has A LOT of strips for you to practice with. I felt like the ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy book was lacking in that area.
