Well done explaining and demonstrating how to take vital signs! Sometimes the basic skills are difficult to master. Practice, practice, practice... Thank you!

[stephaniepatterson]

Ive never been able to manually check blood pressure, I just didnt get it. NOW I do! explaining that the diastolic is you waiting for an unsound, that clicked in my brain! thank you

[prettyamazing]

I love the skills video! Please do a med pass/insulin demo

[viktrey]

This was so educative
I was so excited I got 136 too😊

[val]

I could not count the irregular apical pulse to 136 even after trying a couple of times. Do we add 2 numbers at the time when the beat is too fast?

[criosulaman]

Can you perhaps recommend a good watch to buy?

I start my new cna job april 9th. And i swear i cannot take bp manually for the life of me. I get how to do it its just its difficult taking it manually. I hope my assisted living does it electronically lmao

[deborahparkins]

Great info easy to comprehend much better fr me to refress

[syedhashimi]

The videos are great and super helpful. Can you please make a video on how to flush a PICC line properly and how to change dressing on a PICC line :)

[SandraEfeHache]

Hi Ellis. I found your video by chance looking for an answer. Particularly in your video I saw the "action" but the "explanation". My question is: How often and in which circumstances a General Physician or Medical Specialist should have the patient undress the chest area (top-less) to measure heart and breathing rates. My concern is related in particular in an interaction between male doctor - female patient. Thanks a lot for sharing

[thbsgep]

If you have both irregular resp and pulse so you count for 2 min?

[thbsgep]

For temporal temp I thought you had to do hairline then under ear?

[nurseinthemaking]

How did you count the irregular beats when you were auscultating the apex of the heart? The double beat is equivalent to one beat?

[shirleyrodriguez]

Wats the vital signs cars number cus I don't think I have that but have the other level up cads
