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.
People can check their heartbeats by counting the number of times the heart beats in 60 seconds; a normal resting heart rate should fall between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
