    !!!!!!!

    Thank you! Health Assessment has been giving me a hard time. There's so much to keep in mind and a lot of the skills aren't exactly easy to learn (hello percussion and fundoscopy). I have my comprehensive checkout in a few weeks, and I will definitely be sure to take advantage of these resources.

    Glad these are helpful to you. As a new Health Assessment instructor, these have been a lifesaver. I need to stay at least one step ahead of the students at all times :imbar

    Unfortunately, there is no guarantee with anything on the Internet, as to how long the material will be available.
