Hey everyone, I have been looking for the thread for this upcoming cohort for Loma Linda Adults Fall 2025. Application closes today! Good luck 🙂
heyanaid said:Hey congrats! Mine also says Surgical Care 14A. Do you or does anyone here know specifically what unit this is for? My first choice was Surgical/Neuro ICU, and second was trauma step down I believe. Thanks!
I was just in your guys shoes so I know the anxiety. They provide you a paper on the website about each unit but to simplify it, each floor has a east and west side with 16 beds on each.
Most floors, each side is completely separate from each other meaning if you were hired on 11A West it would be considered 'floating' to go to 11A East. From what I can remember floors that follow this type of format are:
Other floors operate as one department such as the ICUs (7a SICU/Trauma ICU/Neuro ICU), 8a MICU, 9a CTICU/CVICU) and PCUs (10a Cardiothoracic Surg/Cardiology, 13a Neuro Progressive).Â
In terms of acuity of patients, of course the sickest are going to go to the 3 ICUs. For intermediate level of care patients they will usually go to one of these floors based on there condition:
The 14th and 15th floor are typically for stabilized trauma patients, patients recovering from surgeries (I.e. hip fractures, amputations), wound complications, etc.Â
