Real-World Nursing Survival Guide ECG's and the Heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book has been extremely helpful! It explains the concepts in an easy, but not condescending, way. I'm glad I bought it. Unfortunately, I had to purchase a used one, since new ones are not being sold. But my book was in very good condition, just as it was listed.
A Great Starting Point

This book is excellent if you have no experience or knowledge reading ECG's or the terminology. The graphs, points of interest, and self quizzes are fun and keeps your memory fresh. I found myself saying why am I doing this stupid exercise and yet I was able to remember and use the information that I just read in the real world this book is definitely worth picking up.
