We are training the next generation of nurses, whose confidence in their skills is coupled with a genuine concern for helping others get well, and stay healthy. Video: Hands-On Training for Student Success: Vocational Nurse (VN) Program.
Your resting heart rate is the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need because youâre not exercising. If youâre sitting or lying and youâre calm, relaxed and arenât ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 (beats per minute) and 100 (beats per minute). But a heart rate lower than 60 doesnât necessarily signal a medical problem. It could be the result of taking a drug such as a beta blocker.
For most adults, normal heart rate is 60 to 80 BPM. Well-trained athletes can have a normal heart rate of 40 to 60 BPM. When you work out, your heart rate will get higher. This is called your active heart rate. Active heart rates, like resting heart rates, differ in people and change as you age. Generally, a healthy active heart rate is 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate, or the highest your heart rate should safely go.
