Learn to take a blood pressure:
Blood Pressure Measurement (Includes video tutorial), Recommendations of the British Hypertension Society:"The first section of this tutorial is a video of blood pressure measurement. (Warning, this file is 44MB in size and may take a while to download!)
The remainder of this section allows you to test your accuracy by recording 34 blood pressure values and comparing your results with those obtained by 24 experienced observers.
You will find a range of falling columns and sounds that correspond to the variety found in clinical practice."

Control of Arterial Blood Pressure:"The blood pressure is the force that causes blood to flow through the arteries, capillaries, and finally veins back to the heart. It is closely regulated via several physiological mechanisms to ensure an adequate tissue blood flow. Both systolic and diastolic pressures increase with age (figure 1)."
Includes: Introduction Hormonal mechanisms, Autonomic nervous system, Kidneys, Capillary shift mechanism

******************************************************
Dangers of High Blood Pressure:"High blood pressure means that your heart is working harder than normal to force blood into the arteries and through the circulatory system. In most adults, a blood pressure reading greater than 140 over 90 is considered high. When blood pressure is elevated for an extended period of time, the inner linings of the coronary arteries become damaged."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

Nursing In The Media, Nursingadvocacy.org
- ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."
- NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."
-
"Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..."
