What will I learn?
This ECG Reading Course for Nurses helps build confidence in understanding 12-lead ECGs and rhythm strips, starting from the basics up to handling serious emergencies. You will learn to spot signs of reduced blood flow to the heart, full blockages like STEMI, partial ones like NSTEMI, fast heartbeats from the ventricles or upper chambers, irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation, and false signals on the machine. Then, you will practice following health guidelines for responses, quick talking with the team, proper recording, and preparing tools to make safe and fast decisions right at the patient's side.
