We are training the next generation of nurses, whose confidence in their skills is coupled with a genuine concern for helping others get well, and stay healthy. Video: Hands-On Training for Student Success: Vocational Nurse (VN) Program.
Your resting heart rate is the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need because youâre not exercising. If youâre sitting or lying and youâre calm, relaxed and arenât ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 (beats per minute) and 100 (beats per minute). But a heart rate lower than 60 doesnât necessarily signal a medical problem. It could be the result of taking a drug such as a beta blocker.
The aim of warming up is to get the heart rate up to 90 bpm. The heart rate has to be kept at 90 bpm and should not exceed 150 bpm. This requires the slowing and speeding of the exercise. Once the session is complete, the heart rate must be recorded before it goes below 90 bpm.
