Good Lord, your personality is like opening up the door to a beautiful sunny spring day. Your intelligence, your demeanor, your bright, happy eyes make you absolutely sparkle as a human being. Not a student here; just an old 58 year old man with heart issues and looking for rough pointers on how to use my Littmann Classic II SE. You clarified things extremely well. Thank you. In any case, I hope you stay like you are, as this ol' world needs a great big dose of people like you!

E X C E L L E N T VIDEO !!!! It's VERY CLEAR that you not only have a well grounded knowledge of the use of the stethoscope, you ALSO have a VERY CLEAR PASSION for TEACHING ! Don't EVER lose your passion - It's WAY OBVIOUS!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

I'm a med student, and this is one of the best vids I've seen. Thanks!

Nearly 30 years of nursing and you make me smile!

Digoxin, is something you wouldn't give if the HR is

I passed nursing last 2010 but was not able to practice it. I went to a different line of work and wad never happy and satisfied. I am now going back to nursing because i know this is where my heart is and looking at your videos helps me a lot. I hope you' ll post more on the procedures and you seem to be a very nice person. It's inspiring how passionate you are with this art.

You would be an awesome nursing instructor and most probably everyone's favorite! We need this energy, this sense of humor, this intelligence, and this spark! You are perfect combo of all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for making this super straight forward and easy breezy!

I keep coming back to this video and recommending it to all my new nurses and even MAs. Just wonderful,simple, accurate explanation, I just know you must be on top of your career now, so best of luck to you

Great work, just what I needed. I start in the ER this Thursday with my preceptor. Feeling rusty and this is helping shake off the dust! You are informative and I love your passion for what you do & your sense of humor. Thank you!

love your teaching style. you spoke slow and clear. the visual aids was very helpful as well. i will be subscribing to your vids. level 2 here.

I love this video. You are wonderful to watch. I am about to take my NCLEX-RN and this was a great way to review the auscultation. Keep up the great work.

I am so thankful to have found your channel a while back! This has helped prepare me for what's to come! Just you reaching it before I even hear it will help me when I do learn it! Thank you once again :)

I just bought a stethoscope from CVS on a nerdy impulse buy and was looking for tips on how to use it but this just took it to the next level. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it super accessible and fun to watch :)

I wish I watched your videos when I was a student nurse (12 years ago, lol!)...I never liked our classes...it felt it was too overwhelming but now, seeing your videos, I just realized the topics are really fun. Thanks for posting this!

you made my day, I'm in first-semester nursing, my lab exam in a week time. you did a great job. thanks a lot

I'm training to go into the CTICU after being on an ortho floor for two years. This video is so excellent for back to basics! Thanks!

Thank you SO MUCH for this video... I am a PSW student in Canada and am likely going to bridge over to the RPN program at some point. We are starting to learn how to take vital signs tomorrow and I wanted to get in a little prep study before hand. You did an awesome job and I will never forget "All Pigs Eat To Much" for the heart...

Thanks for the video! I am a first year nursing student and we have our 1st patient assessment test coming up this week. I feel much more confident after your video. Keep posting! Thanks again.

The T-Shirt was a great visual tool! Cheers!

I loved your video and your T-shirt. It helped me a lot! I'm a nurse practitioner in psychiatry so I don't do much physical exams but I want to keep myself up to date so this video was very helpfull. Greetings from Holland!

Excellent video, thanks from nurses in the UK :) I'm gonna make my own T-Shirt to teach the students on the ward!

I'm a student of med technology. I've clinical rotations soon, learning these procedures from books is so difficult, thanks you so much for making it easy !

l'm not a nurse or in the medical field, but I enjoyed watching this video. I always wonder how to use a stethoscope! Thanks for making this video.

hey Rona passed my LVN to RN program and you helped! IV Calulations really helped thanks!

Greetings! Medical student here from the UK. great video, thanks for sharing. We learned how to auscultate recently but we only learn briefly in the first year and I haven't had much opportunity to practise on real patients. It's great watching you do it and the T shirt is a great idea. :) Also, I guessed Digoxin! We draw on each other in clinical skills but it's difficult on girls because we have been told that to properly check the heart you may have to remove a woman's bra so the t shirt is a really great way to learn while maintaining dignity!

Super nervous of starting clinical tomorrow! This helped me review a lot! Thank you Rona!! :D

I just watched all of these videos! I love them. Hopefully you keep them up!

Thanks, I just started Nursing School and I will be watching your videos for tips. This was very helpful. I haven't gotten to this part yet but now I have a head start and I can make one of those t-shirts and wear it to my lab maybe lol.

You're so damn good at this....and you're so cheerful and filled with positive energy....I came here to just learn how to auscultate and here I am feeling so much happier and peaceful...you're a great nurse...your patients and students are so lucky to have you...thanks for this sweet video😘.. I'm a first year med student

Very nice presentation! That "D" is Digitalis for sure! I love it the way you presented it.Very cool!

Thank you Rona for this video. It helped me a lot as one majoring in respiratory therapy.

Excellent video! You did an amazing job explaining things. Thanks for sharing.

You are amazing! I really feel much more confident with auscultating! Thank you!!!

Been watching you before I got accepted into nursing school thank you!

Thanks! I've asked my doctor how it works and god bless him he explains but is too technical, you hit the nail on the head.

Love your videos! I just discovered your channel and your videos are of much help to me right now!

Great video!! You are such a great teacher Rona.. Please keep the videos coming!!

You assess the apical pulse for Digoxin! I've also had to assess it before giving beta blockers as well since it works by slowing the heart rate. Great video, Rona! You are so creative. :)

Very detailed and short! U summed it up well...thank u! I am a new nurse and still learning

you rock I have understood more in twenty mins of ur videos than the last 3 months in lab. I am in the lpn program that is a yr long and we are doing a chapter a day ...... thanks again

Thanks a lot for sharing this!! I'm going into my second year in nursing school in january, so we'll start working more frequently on the clinical field at clinics and hospitals, and i'm too excited for this(OMG! i'm such a nerd xD )so that's why i came here to have an idea of what i'm going to learn next semester xD I'm definitely going to make a shirt like this one you're wearing, and share the idea to my classmates \o/ Subscribed!

Hi Rona. Thanks for the very informative and fun to watch video. The t-shirt is a great teaching tool. Was that your idea or something you were shown in school? Keep up the great work!

This is great! Thanks! I am a graduate nurse studying for NCLEX and thought a little review couldn't hurt! This is perfect for The View! lol :) Awesome work!

Love this video! I watched it this summer before I started nursing school and then we actually watched it during lab in nursing school when we were learning about bowel sounds. Great job! :-)

Girl you are awesome! How did you not pass the nclex?? I bet you rocked it the 2nd time! I hope I am as knowledgeable as you next year. My first day of nursing school was yesterday! :)

I can tell you're a great nurse!

As a second option... Feel around on your upper sternum and there will be a bump where it seems like the otherwise flat bone changes angles. This is called the angle of Louis (or sternal angle) and almost always corresponds with the level of the second ribs. So, after palpating the sternal angle, slide your fingers just to the right or left and you're on the 2nd rib cartilage. Slide down just a bit and you'll feel a depression... the 2nd intercostal space!

love your videos Rona!!! Thank you thank you ; ) found your channel over the summer before starting nursing school and it really has helped me not feel like I'm an alien!! LOL Doing auscultating bowel sounds tomorrow in Lab and I'll definitely be rocking a shirt like yours!! Cuidate chica!!

You are simply amazing getting those lessons across..very helpful...thanks

Hello I am studying AEMT. Thank you for teaching me the use of the tethescope and the hearing of lung, heart etc. Your personality, sense of humor and visual technique was fabulous. I really like it. I even took notes. God bless you. You are great. If you can continue giving tips. Until next time. Bye

your videos are really helpful and good! :), I actually did the iv drip calculations in maths for nursing on my access course, and I watched your video on it and it really helped! :)

You are awesome i hope that you put more videos because you rock, your personality is way better than other doctors i am starting my clinical and i am happy to say that after this watching this video i have a better understanding of the heart, lungs and bowls.

Starting medical school this September, got my first Littmann yesterday! So excited.

Awesome vid. Im a seasoned nurse but this was a grat vid since im switching fields, nice refresher! Thanks and i hope u do more videos wish you were around when i was in nusrsing school.

Although you're still a student, you're a great teacher.! I learned a lot.! Ill be starting nursing school this fall and I know your videos will be my one of my top references. Thanks for this.!! :-)

You are absolutely positively amazing. I'm in my first year of nursing school, why can't the book explain it like this. Thank you soooo much, more videos please

Very informative and straight forward explanations. Thank you!

Love this. Clear easy and straight to the point!

this is awesome! great job! thank you for this!

Must take Apical pulse for Digoxin. If less than 60, hold med, and call md!!

Awesome Video! I'm in my first semester of nursing and this helped so much.

Beautiful kitchen! Thank you for sharing this auscultation hacks!

You should consider being a professor,. It's already my 2nd semester and i learned more from your video than from lab prof. Thanks again rona!!

Great job. I learned more in 12 minutes from you than I did in lab =) Have you thought of becoming an educator for nursing?

I ❤ HeyRona uploads

Thank you, you sound like a very experienced teacher .

Nice narration of important info Rona and quiet innovative too......

I am an emt and this is actually going to help me with my pre hospital care. I have a littman classic like the one in the video and I love it.

Yours explanations are very helpful! Thank you :)

Thank you!! :) So happy to hear that Holly :)

Your videos are so helpful I'll beginning nursing classes in fall and I'm preparing myself...

Your tips are the best!

great video! Thank you! How does a stethoscope work in itself? Is it as simple as a hole in a dish going through a tube, kind of like a soup can phone or is it more sophisticated than that?

this is very helpful for an emt also, thanks.

I have no idea on the medicine for pulse -- but I am learning this for midwifery studies--very good video by the way! Thanks. :)

This is awesome Rona!!! Thank you!!

Great video!! such an inspiration please keep the videos coming :)
