    Just recently found out about your channel and I instantly subscribed! A suggestion for another video could be a video explaining how your program was and tips and tricks for students that are thinking of going into that major as well! ❤️

      It's going to depend on your facility. Where I work (major hospital) technicians do not perform EKGs or even draw blood. Lab Assistants or phlebotomists draw blood, and nurses/nurse techs perform EKGs. We don't even learn how to do that in school here (GA)

      Marhia Abbuhl exactly I’m a nurse tech we do ekgs. The nurses don’t even know how to do them. And phlebotomists draw blood not lab technicians. Truly depends on where you work or the location. I live in Maryland btw.

      @@lollollol1575 An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on your chest to record your heart's electrical signals, which cause your heart to beat. The signals are shown as waves on an attached computer monitor
