Hello,

I need to be able to teach myself nursing procedural skills like wet 2 dry, Foley etc. Does anyone know of any sources preferably online video's I can watch to help me learn?

I think I answered my own question. As soon as I posted I found a few links on the site. never mind :-)

Welcome to allnurses.com! It sounds like you're already discovering there's a lot of good info on these boards. Also lots of lively debates, rants, commiseration, and, occassionally, celebration. It's a great place to learn, and a great place to decompress when you feel stressed-out.

I encourage you to browse the tutorials--I think the thread is allnurses tutorials. You can find it from the home page. Also notice the tabs at the top of each page. "Students" will take you to forums geared especially toward nursing and pre-nursing students. "Local" goes to the various state and international forums. You can see what's happening in your state, or maybe learn about a state where you might like to work.

It can take awhile to learn your way around, but I think it's worth it.

Hi, fightingtobeanurse, and welcome to allnurses!

It is very hard to find free videos of nursing procedures on the Internet. Most of them have been PIN restricted. There are a few. The links are posted on this sticky thread of the student forums of allnurses:

• http://allnurses.com/forums/f205/health-assessment-resources-techniques-forms-145091.html - Health Assessment Resources, Techniques, and Forms

The sites that I absolutely know have videos of nursing procedures are:

• http://www.csufresno.edu/DCG/videos/faculty/Dutra/N110A/
• http://lib2.hacc.edu/nursing/nursing104/
• http://lib2.hacc.edu/nursing/nursing206/
