About the Course

A new addition to our clinical course line is here! The Elite Nurse Practitioner presents The Foundational ECG/EKG Course, an all-in-one guide to interpretation and analysis created in collaboration with flight nurse Matt Lambert, RN. This course is designed for nurse practitioners looking to hone their ECG/EKG reading skills, whether you are a seasoned expert or a new grad. Completion of this material will earn participants 5 CEU hours that can be applied to certification and licensure.

The ability to interpret and analyze ECG results is a critical skill for every nurse practitioner. These findings can pinpoint the causes of many symptoms and serve as potential indicators for both chronic and acute disease. Well-rounded knowledge of EKG basics can help NPs become more employable and treat patients more effectively.

No matter what type of practice you operate, EKG interpretation competency is a must-have. You may not order EKGs every day, but when you do, you’ll be glad to have these skills. EKGs are an important tool in emergency situations, and being able to quickly read findings can make or break a time sensitive medical crisis. EKG is also a core component of some niche service lines, including weight loss medicine, urgent care, and cardiac specialty clinics.

Course instructor Matt Lambert is a seasoned ER nurse with over ten years of experience, giving course participants the opportunity to learn from the best. In his additional role as a flight nurse, he’s seen it all and gives NPs valuable advice on how to evaluate intricate EKG data to pinpoint underlying pathologies. Matt and Elite Nurse Practitioner founder Justin Allan will go over a 133-slide presentation in detail, sharing methods for correctly identifying over two dozen distinct rhythms. Registration includes a PDF copy of course material that can be referred to in clinical settings. Streamable audio files will also be available for learning on the go.

You will walk away from this course with foundational knowledge on ECG/EKG interpretation, and will be more confident in your role as an NP in any care setting.

• The functions and foundational breakdown of the ECG
