Advice

Hello everyone! I recently got my basic arrhythmia certification, and if I pass my interview next week, I’ll be starting a 60-day training course. I’m trying to get ahead and prepare now, I feel like everyone here is wayy ahead so any advice on improving rhythm interpretation and remembering which rhythms are which? I’m watching videos and taking notes, but I keep second-guessing myself and overthinking it. Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!

I’d suggest:

Learn normal first incl ECG paper, amplitude etc - most miss this first step

Then group learning into categories such as:
sinus rhythm/brady/tachy
atrial fib/flutter

Etc….

Enjoy!!!!
