Today in our CNA class we learned how to take blood pressure. The other students seemed to know how to do it, but I am having a really hard time.
Sometimes when I am talking blood pressure I don’t hear any heart beat at all. Sometimes I can only tell the diastolic BP, but never the systolic.
My teacher says I will be able to hear a click sound for the systolic BP. But so far I will tell you it is not going good.
I even brought the school’s cuff and stethoscope to practice throughout the weekend. I have a blood pressure skill pass off on Tuesday and I am I not ready at all.
Other than that school has been great and I am really enjoying it. First weekend of July I start my very first clinical. I am excited!
