My Student Nurse Must-Have

Play video: "It’s just really good to get your practise in there so we don’t lose out on our skills during the lockdown."

In this bitesize clip, Alexandria, gives us her must-have item for Student Nurses without access to their Universities during the pandemic and looking to keep their Nursing skills sharp.

Transcript of the video:

Hi Guys.

I’m Alexandria Grace.

I’m one of the YouTube and Instagram creators for Nurses.co.uk and today I’m going to be talking about one of my Nurse, or Student Nurse must-haves.

Because of the Coronavirus, obviously I cannot access the skills labs at my university, so I decided to order a Manuel Blood Pressure Kit from Para-med which is a company on Amazon.

It costs about £16 and comes with:

• A stethoscope

• A blood pressure cuff and the pump

It is extremely portable, it is really easy to use on your family members or your friends, and it’s just really good to get your practise in there so we don’t lose out on our skills during the lockdown.

I would definitely recommend investing in one if you’ve not already.

Thanks for watching.
