“Beth Truex, RN, is an outstanding instructor of cardiac dysrhythmias. Over the past 21 years, she has taught over three thousand employees at Covenant Health. Beth developed a successful program with very positive results for Parkwest Medical Center in Knoxville, TN. Parkwest Medical Center, a Top 100 Heart Hospital for eight years, is a member of Covenant Health. Beth’s students have included pre-med students, RNs, LPNs, telemetry techs, pharmacists, and EMTs. One employee, who worked in the hospital’s kitchen as a dishwasher, took Beth’s class then went on to work in the hospital’s Cath Lab. He now works for General Electric. Beth’s unique teaching style and her use of techniques and concepts that she developed help her students to retain the ability to interpret rhythm strips.”
