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.
So your heart rate in beats per minute is 100. You will need a clock or stopwatch that is. digital or has a second-hand. You want to. time 15 seconds, or one quarter of a minute. Increasing your heart rate is a key part of exercise, but it is. important that your heart rate is not too high or too low.
