One of the first skills I was expected to master in my Fundamentals course was to take two step blood pressure. Whether it's baking a cake, riding a bike or taking a blood pressure, it's not an easy task and requires practice and patience. However, once you learn it's a skill that you'll never forget.
I recommend practicing as much as possible.
I am a visual and auditory learner so I try to find as many online videos as possible that agree with the content from my professors.
This website helps with giving a visual for the general procedure with what to do and what to avoid.

Once you get comfortable with the general steps for the procedure I also recommend this video that helps the learner differentiate between the Korotokoff sounds.

This Should Have been my first Post
Hey Everyone,
You may notice that my posts jump around. I graduated with my first Bachelor's Degree in Public Health. Soon after I decided to return to school for a Bachelor's in Nursing. Just two days ago I just finished my first semester as a nursing student. All I can say it has been a roller coaster ride already. Instead of writing one big post of what I have learned so far I've decided to break the posts into individual posts for a few reasons. First, I feel it may easier in keeping topics organized and in finding specific topics. Second, I am not sure if I can sit up all day and night writing everything down. I am hesitant to think that millions of people will view my blog but it's worth a shot and if anything the blog allows a place for debriefing and reviewing later in life.
