This course is designed for nurse clinicians and bedside nurses utilizing telemetry who wish to advance their knowledge and skills in cardiac monitoring and rhythm interpretation. The purpose of this course is to equip nurses with the ability to accurately interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs) and identify both normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms.
Throughout the course, nurse learners will gain an in-depth understanding of cardiac anatomy and physiology, with a particular focus on the electrical conduction system of the heart. Participants will learn how the cardiac cycle correlates with ECG waveforms and how to interpret the normal and abnormal components of an ECG, including key measurements such as the PR interval, QRS duration, and T wave characteristics.
The curriculum emphasizes a systematic approach to rhythm analysis, enabling nurses to confidently assess, recognize, and respond to a variety of sinus, atrial, and ventricular rhythms. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the course includes practical applications, such as lead placement, use of five-step ECG interpretation, and evaluation of real-world rhythm strips.
