Quick reference for children's vitals

Published

Hello. I have gotten a new job in a pediatrics office. I am a new RN. I am up on vitals for adults, but I am a little stale on all the vitals for children.

Is there a good easy reference book, or Internet site you could recommend that goes over vitals for children from ages infant to teenager?? Normal pulse, BP, etc.

I start my new job next week and wanted to be up to speed on this.

Much thanks!!! Epona :p :nurse:

When going through my peds clinical, I made up this handy cheat-sheet. If you cut it out and laminate it, it will fit behind your badge.
