Started Basic Nursing Skills yesterday...

Hello. I stumbled across this site after typing in "Nursing Skills-Taking Vitals". I started yesterday and am so excited! I practiced blood pressures and finding the pulse at various locations as soon as my husband returned home from work. He's a good sport! I can't wait until I'm able to find a pulse right off the bat. I never was able to find a popliteal pulse. I look forward to visiting this site a lot! Oh-I'm a "NON TRADITIONAL" read-older-student.
