ED CNA Position Performs Electrocardiograms??Rating: (votes: 0) Yes - apply and be honest. It's not hard to learn to perform EKG's. ER techs commonly perform this skill, and those positions are often filled by CNA's, EMT-B's, and others who received EKG training on the job rather than in school. Comment: At the facility where I work, CNAs do most of the ECGs. It doesn't take long to be shown how to work the machine, and most all of the machines now have big diagrams on them showing where to place the leads. It's not an invasive procedure, and you're not interpreting the ECG, just running the strip. Go for it!
