Thank you, I really needed this today. I've been so nervous that this would be the make it or break it for Nursing school for me. I appreciate the advice and I will definitely try tapping my toes to the patient's pulse. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
I'm a new nursing student and I have a deliberate practice next week to do BP, pulse, RR, temp, SpO2, general survey, etc. and i'm sort of struggling with being able to do BP. Does anyone have any tips about Vitals in general or about taking a patient's blood pressure? Any advice is welcome, i just feel like i'm drowning! PLEASE HELP.
