OK yeah seriously...only a nursing student NERD would find something like this fun... But some of you might just be as kooky as me!  I'm trying to study for my midterm tomorrow on Med/Surg relating to cardiac and respiratory systems, and because I didn't feel like actually reading the notes...THIS is what I found!!

Or a cardiac monitor tech like me. I have a lot of fun with skillstat when brushing up.....especially when it comes to a split second interp. of V-tach vs PSVT with only lead 2 showing.
Added:
If the "R" wave looks like it is walking up steps, it is usually SVT.

I've been messing around with this thing for the last hour and a half! I got tired of that game and did all the cardiac quizzes and just did a module of the heart structures itself. Call me a nerd, but this is so much fun it is scary. LOL Hopefully I'll ace any of the cardiac stuff on my exam! Today's exam didn't go as well as I'd hoped (need at least a 70 to pass...so I hope I got that!), but I didn't discover such fun games to mess around with until tonight! 
Which rhythm is it that looks like the fireman's hat??
I didn't like the representations of the 2nd degree AV blocks type I and II because the type II 2nd degree looked more like a BBB, and type I was not easy to see the "longer, longer, longer dropped" thing of Wenchebach! The first degree one...you can't really see that the PR interval is prolonged...so it looks too much like sinus rhythm unless you look at the rate!! The junctional ones just confuse the crap outta me...!!
But look how much I learned tonight??? hehehe

PS Donna...my roommate and I need the answer to this question:
If you have a blockage in the circumflex artery...where is the MI? She put the atria and I put the superior portion of the right ventricle...I think atria is right? We can't tell from the pictures and our teacher never once mentioned the circumflex artery!!!
