Holidays are over and I know all you student nurses are heading back to school. Cardiac monitoring was always a hard one for me to keep straight with all the values that you need to remember. I used to get a small pocket sized note book, type up my norms in charts and then past the little charts into my notebook. I know a little OCD but WAY cheaper than those pocket books they try and sell you in the bookstore.
So as a little back to school present for you all here is a nifty little chart that will give you all the norms for hemodynamic monitoring.
Feel free to cut and paste it!

Hi! I love to hear what you have to say but be warned I reserve the right to whip out the Iron Paw on anyone. So play nice.
