Schweitzer Classification
Person
In her 40-year nursing career, Karen Ellis has authored eight articles on various nursing topics for nursing journals as well as three texts on EKG topics for Pearson Education. She has taught EKG interpretation to Allied Health students at the college level and teaches Continuing Education Nursing Inservices on topics such as Basic and 12-lead EKG, Pacemakers, and Congestive Heart Failure. Karen has worked as a nurse in diverse areas that include Psychiatry, Labor and Delivery, and Coronary/Critical Care.
Karen's philosophy of teaching is that learning should be painless, and, to that end, she uses many clinical anecdotes-and humor-to bring life to potentially boring subject matter.
