http://medicine.osu.edu/exam/ - this is the link that was given to you above. It is from Ohio State University College of Medicine, an Interactive Guide to Physical Examination for 8 body systems and includes sounds. Has an interactive blood pressure cuff (the link is toward the bottom of the page, "Take a blood Pressure") where you click on a blood pressure bulb to start the inflation of the cuff. You will then hear and watch the manometer and tell the program what the final blood pressure is. It re-cycles to give you lots of practice!

http://library.chattanoogastate.edu/taylor/ - Taylor's Video Guide to Clinical Nursing Skills. Includes vital signs, Asepsis, Oral and Topical Medications, injectable medications, intravenous medications, perioperative nursing care, hygiene, skin integrity and wound care, activity, nutrition, urinary elimination, indwelling and intermittent catheters, bowel elimination, oxygenation, trach care, IV therapy and central venous access devices.

It seems they password protected the link. I will remove it. I found another website yesterday where you can access skills videos. It is a complete online nursing course on the principles and practice of nursing. This is a huge website with extensive information. Click on the various links under the subject headings to find what you are looking for. In many cases there are videos to view (the links will be off to the sides of the web page you are on).
