Today we learned how to take the blood pressure of our patient.  I learned that it is easier to hear the systolic and diastolic readings when I release the valve slower.  By my second try I felt more comfortable with finding the proper readings.  I passed off two more PE's.  Radiology was overwhelming today because of bisecting. Paralleling is better!  I also used the digital sensor, I liked having immediate x-ray pictures available.
