Attendees will practice the measuring and interpretation of rhythms. Clinical assessment and nursing management will be reviewed for common dysrhythmias. Part B consists of an in-person exam, a score of ≥83% must be achieved to pass (complete the class and earn CEs). The dates listed above are the various available test dates.
