I've had this book & the pocket reference for years. I move in & out of critical care & emergency room nursing to avoid burn out & this is THE goto reference to refresh...I don't skip a beat & can slide right back into ECG analysis w/o the littlest bit of anxiety. WONDERFUL reference. I would recommend it to new & experienced nurses.
Good Book really helps you understand the graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity. Took 7 months of Cardiovascular Technology to be a CVT. The good in it end's up the knowledge I learned is beneficial to my own health issue's at this time. ;) Knowledge is power*
This book really helped me get a better grasp on cardiac strips. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to become more familiar with cardiac strips. There are many practice strips that reinforce what you are learning.
