Wish me luck - 1st check off tomorrow

[LauraLou]

I am really nervous. Tomorrow is my first check off - vital signs. I'm afraid I'll lose track when counting radial or apical pulse or not read the blood pressure correctly. The BP is attached to the wall and is a little hard to read from the bedside. I have to squint and I'm not always sure I read it right.

I keep telling myself go slowly. Don't forget to ask about hot/cold foods and smoking. Don't forget to verbalize about contraindications for taking blood pressure on an arm (mastectomy, dialysis, etc).

Please think positive thoughts my way tomorrow afternoon. Thanks!

I remember those days. Hang in there. Let us know how you do. And when you've survived this you can do the survival dance (we all do it. If not on the outside. We dance on the inside when another nursing school hurdle is survived).

I'm sure you'll have lots of allnurses sending you positive thoughts! That's got to count for something... LOL!

Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts! I passed with a 95!!!!!

There are ten people in my class and only six of us passed, so I was really excited.

Two weeks until my next check off - physical assessment.
