Interactive e-Learning Electrocardiogram Module: Increasing Confidence and Interpretation Ability Among Family Nurse Practitioner Students.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation is a skill that family nurse practitioners (FNPs) use almost daily in primary care. One way to teach ECG interpretation in a flexible way is through e-learning modules. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the confidence and ability of ECG interpretation in FNP students who completed a series of e-learning modules. Student confidence and ability to correctly identify ECGs increased after completing the series (p < .0001). Adding self-paced modules such as this one into an FNP curriculum will likely be invaluable for students' future clinical careers.
