1. IV Y-site question

   jkm07 replied to jkm07's topic in General Students

   That definitely sounds like the safer option/better practice. Thanks! I guess what I'm trying to get at in a more general way is if I have two compatible medications attached to their own separate IV pumps and Y-site them, the medication will get to ...

2. IV Y-site question

   jkm07 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello, I've been in my final quarter internship in the ICU and it's been a blast, but there's one thing that's been bugging me. Let me give you a scenario... The patient has a triple lumen CVC -- 1 port has Diprivan running, 1 port has Levophed runni...

   jkm07 replied to ceecoxy's topic in California

   1st year MECN here.. For epidemiology, you can take it through BYU independent study (~$700) or you can take Nursing 50 through UCLA during the summer (~$1500). I'm open for questions. I love the program so far, and my classmates are the best!

6. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

   jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

   In the past two years ~40% of the WL was offered admission into the class. I believe 25 students from 2011 were contacted (for 60 spots) and ~40 students for 2012 (for 90 spots). Hopefully the trend continues this year, but with things competitive n...

   1 CNA for 20 residents?! Yikes! But I hear you! Do you have any plans to look for another job?

   jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

   I think the people on the alternate list won't hear back for a while because the admissions office is still fielding responses from those who were accepted. I'd give it another week or so before we start hearing anything.

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    I'm a big fan of anything South of Wilshire Blvd. There are multiple buses that run through that area. The Bruin or Big Blue Buses will take you to/pretty close to the School of Nursing. The apartments on the hill where the undergrads and frats are c...

    @Ltho I sent an e-mail to both addresses listed in the letter.

12. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    jkm07 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York

    Hey everyone, I tried doing a search for this, but didn't get anywhere... Is there a clear-cut advantage for those who submitted their application by the priority deadline vs regular deadline (e.g. a reserved number of spots for priority applicants)?...

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    Congrats to the acceptees! I hope to join you all in the Fall! @nextway55: I think the delay with the mail lies with USPS rather than UCLA choosing what to send out. I mail stuff through USPS quite often and the post office in my area seems to be on ...
