Monitor Technician Unit Secretary Job

I have everything needed to apply for this job except one thing...."Understanding of cardiac rhythms also required."

I have medical secretary experience, medical terminology ( am currently a medical transcriptionist) and excellent computer skills. I finished a CNA course in August and will take my state test soon. I'm working one night a week as a CNA also. I'm also taking the pre-requisites for LPN.

I'm familiar with cardiac rhythms and what they are, but of course, I don't think that's enough. This job is in the ICU Department so I'm sure it's an important skill.

Where would I learn about cardiac rhythms? Is there a class I need to take? How could I acquire this skill/knowledge so I can apply?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi,At my hospital there are classes offered to learn to interpret EKG rhythms as part of orientation. Hope that helps!
Comment:
There are usually dysrhythmia courses offered at most hospitals for staff. Its about 8 hours to have the stuff beaten into your head if I remember correctly. You can come have my position as the second I pass the NCLEX I'm fired with apparently no RN job to fill the gap. Yay for this economy.
