I had a difficult time hearing at first also. I went and checked everyones BP that would allow me, until finally it clicked. Now I can hear it all the time. I think the anxiety makes it very difficult when you are just learning. Practice as much as you can to gain confidence, and it will get easier. Also the double headed student stethescopes are really difficult to hear with.......is that what you are using in lab? relax.....it will get better!

This is a great thread for me to read right about now. I am in the process of getting certified as a cna as this is required fir the nursing program I have applied to. I am looking forward to the experiance yet I wish they taught us more in class about interacting with patients with dementia. I really appreciate all of your suggestions......
