Yes, but it sounds like you have some time to practice. Buy a stethoscope and sphygmomonometer, (you'll probably need them for nursing school anyhow and you can get them pretty cheap online) and practice on friends and family this summer, or at work, do manual ones when you have time and have a patient that doesn't mind having it done twice.

Good luck.

this is a link to an online interactive virtual blood pressure cuff. have your computer's sound turned on. this is a practice blood pressure cuff that you can recycle and play around with for as long as you want.

  • http://medicine.osu.edu/exam/ - 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!
