About this Event

🫀 Real-World Skills & Readiness Lab™: 12-Lead ECG Interpretation - Part 2 / 2

You've got the rhythm strip down. Now the monitor hands you a 12-lead, and suddenly there are twelve views instead of one, and a decision that might actually matter for how fast someone gets seen.

This half-day workshop with Darlene Hutton, RN, BScN, MSN, President of QRS Educational Services, takes you through a systematic approach to 12-lead ECG assessment: recognizing MI patterns, understanding what ST elevation and depression actually mean, and knowing what to do next.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. To register, you'll need to have completed Part 1 (Rhythm Interpretation) or confirm you're already comfortable reading cardiac rhythms via a short attestation on your registration form.

This interactive half-day workshop is ideal for:

• Travel Nurses
• Nursing students
• New graduate nurses
• Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs)
• RPNs and RNs transitioning into acute or higher-acuity settings
• Anyone seeking a practical, judgment-free refresher on 12-lead interpretation

📍 What You’ll Gain

• A systematic framework for reading any 12-lead ECG
• The ability to recognize MI patterns and STEMI presentations
• A clear understanding of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and its significance
• What ST elevation and depression are actually telling you
• Awareness of common complications and how they're managed
• Real case scenarios to test your judgment, not just your memory
• Case Study Jeopardy: a competitive, case-based capstone that puts everything from both parts to the test

🩺 How It Works

Small-group, hands-on, and interactive, this session runs live at the Nurse Decoded Simulation Lab, whether you're joining in person or online. Darlene brings a live cardiac monitor for hands-on ECG assessment. Guided instruction, real discussion, and practical rhythm interpretation exercises, not a pre-recorded lecture.

Ask questions. Get it wrong. Try again. That's the point.

💻Online participants are fully part of the room: your questions get seen and voiced in real time, this is a psychologically safe space built for learning, not evaluating.
