As a nurse, you'll want to be familiar with basic ekg/ecg interpretations, how to identify heart rhythms, P waves, T waves, PR intervals, QRS complexes, PR segments, ST segments, J point, QT intervals, and so forth.
In this video, Nurse Sarah breaks down EKG basics and gives examples of how to measure different parts of a 6-second EKG strip.
EKG/ECG strips contain small boxes that are found within larger boxes. These boxes represent units of time in seconds. Smaller boxes represent 0.04 seconds, whereas larger boxes represent 0.20 seconds.

Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful and informative. You are the best!

[@umershah7937]

So nice

[@kongmode]

*I have to say this:* you are MY HERO

[@mercyatuseri4991]

You are the best teacher I have come across . Please go open a school of Nursing. Thank u God bless you

[@julyhubstores7530]

You will easily know when my people comment 😄. Open nursing school just like that? 😅

[@sakhejabaza2662]

I would agree, but if she does that, she would be too busy to do the actual teaching and would have to have other people to teach

[@MOHROHRR99_IPHONES_LAPTOPES_CA]

Right I am a doctor and I follow you

[@DiasporaMotivationalBroadcast]

All I can say is that you are the tutor all nurses need by all standards! Thank you!

[@BeTheLeafAir]

Thank you for all your videos! Just found out today I passed NCLEX in 75 questions!! You make things so easy to understand and you have truly made a positive difference in my nursing journey. Thank you 🙏

[@ashhakhan7475]

It’s your 1st attempt?

[@michaezell4607]

During my most recent hospitalization i came so close to getting a pacemaker put in that it turned out I didn't need because the doctor had relied on a faulty reading from the bedside monitor which falsely detected that i was having up to a 6 second pause in the electrical activity of the heart...fortunately one of my nurses took the time later in the day to monitor both the EKG and the monitor at the same time and was able to determine that it was the monitor that was sending incorrect data and the procedure was canceled at the last minute.

[@nmibayellaatuah796]

Wow 😊

[@Turkeywaffleboat]

Coming from someone who has inconsistent but recurring arrythmia, you would definitely notice a 6 second pause between beats. I've had what feels like 2 skipped beats in a row at times and it is horrifying. 🙃 So glad that someone cared and caught this before you had such a major procedure over nothing.

[@hni7458]

Scary thing a doc being framed by a simple signal cut(!).

[@ledaynekristinel.estremos1474]

Hey, Nurse Sara I appreciate you making these videos. I'm on my last year now and I hope I get to be a registered nurse. Thank you for helping me understand every lesson

[@lexig6759]

This was more teaching on heart rhythms than we got in nursing school 😅

[@subhra_rani_das]

Thanks Sarah for the video. I sat on my chair at 6.30am and now its 6.30pm. This 22 min video says all about it. It was so easy to understand. ❤️

[@kellymarie7029]

3-year nurse, and just wanted to say THANK YOU, you have been with me for years

[@gigipi3332]

I wish you all the best God Bless!

[@samavery7969]

I’ve struggled with ECG’s for ages and couldn’t seem to get what people were saying but you have a way of explaining things that just clicks. Thank you SO much 🙏

[@breekeys7020]

I have been a nurse since 2016 and I am refreshing my knowledge for some certifications and I am so happy I found you! Where were you during my nursing school days?!? In 20 mins I got a better understanding than the multiple hour-long lectures in school. YOU ARE AWESOME!

[@charliecalderon-cardinal3976]

Easily understandable! Awesome job in the simulation starting at 6:50. You're the best, Sarah! Thank you!

[@thatchickdriaa]

You deserve so much admiration. You’ve helped me so much so far throughout school. Thank you for this!

[@mehekcheema7095]

[@marlenelyles1495]

By far the best I’ve seen. Thank you Nurse Sara. This is exactly what I needed to see. A descriptive and slow rated explanation

[@lovelylace6238]

Perfect timing! We are learning how to read EKGs in our cardiovascular unit for adult health! This is so helpful 🫀Thanks!

[@datzsojahna8925]

I graduated with my BS in biology last year and now I’m applying to an ABSN program. I’ve always wondered about analyzing EKG’s now I have an idea! So thank you so much!! I doubt I would be able to learn this in school.

[@bingthelionqueen]

Hello, Nurse Sarah! I just want to say that I am an avid follower of your channel and that I came having a clear grasp of the nursing topics that I need to study because of your clear explanation of concepts. I love your website it's sooooo organized and easy to maneuver, and I love the merchs!! I hope that you will not get tired of sharing your knowledge with us aspiring RNs! Much appreciation to you and your team!!

[@mcgilligan7891]

[@dominickamara8106]

Hi nurse Sara, you're the best you made this very easy for me to understand. Ever since I've been learning this stuff in nursing school, it seemed really confusing until you nailed it on this video. I appreciate it so much you always do a great clean job - keep giving America nursing this great beauty.

[@tonyjenkins4920]

I understood 95% of that with absolutely zero general knowledge of the detail - brilliantly explained 👏👏👏

[@thurgoodclemon-king4797]

Love love love this lady. All her videos helped me during school and now that I’m in practice.

[@donaldwinding8531]

Very nicely done! 50 year nurse, recently retired. Watching your video to refresh and keep my brain active. Excellent!!

[@ma.1749]

[@shelbyshelbyohyeah]

Literally learning this tomorrow in class. It’s like you made it for me 🥰🥰 thank you!!!

[@n1kkri]

This was awesom. My wife was just diagnosed with atrial flutter. I remember seeing it on the EKG graph but now I want to get a copy of it and catch your other video how to measure for it. I now know what normal looks like.

[@choyvong6843]

You are a wonderful teacher. I understand a lot from your teaching…6 years ago, I had a heart attack. The ambulance technician did an EKG on me. He knew right away something was wrong, so I was rushed to the Swedish Hospital in Seattle, where I received 4 stents in my left anterior descending artery ( LAD), which some people in the field called this LAD as a widow maker, which implies most men died due to blockage in that part of the artery leaving their spouse a widow…

[@brianking1312]

I could have just watched this video and spared myself the last 3 hours trying to understand EKGs! Thank you as always!!!!!!!!

[@sarahkin36]

I was having such a hard time with EKG’s. Thank you so much for making this, it was the first and only thing that made me understand
