Sept 10,2012-Monday Today in clinical Amber struggled with taking vital signs on her patient, applying the BP cuff, and knowing her norms for adult patients. While in the patients room, I showed her how to put the cuff on her patient and how to feel for a radial pulse. Afterwards, I told her that she would need to practice her skills in the lab on Tues.

Sept 12, 2012 Amber continued to struggled with her vital signs today. She stated that she couldn\'t hear her patients BP because of her stethoscope. I told her that she would need to get a new stethoscope by Monday. As I continued to assess her and her skills, Amber did not take responsibility for her actions but had many excuses. I reinforced to her that I would be there to help her at anytime but that she needs to be able to show me that she is working on her deficiencies and is able to come to clinical prepared.
