    NICUmiiki replied to lisaannjamRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    New Nursing Student: Should I spoil myself with an electronic BP cuff?

    NICUmiiki replied to Amcanarn's topic in General Students

    Don't make a big deal out of it. If her breast is in the way, ask her to lift it for you. If you have trouble counting her radial, count the apical with a stethoscope. In the hospital, dopplers are a...

    New Nursing Student: Should I spoil myself with an electronic BP cuff?

    NICUmiiki replied to Amcanarn's topic in General Students
