  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. UCLA MECN Fall 2014?

    jkm07 replied to ceecoxy's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  6. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  8. Families who just don't get it!!

    jkm07 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

  9. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  10. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  12. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    jkm07 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  13. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    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...

    UCLA alum. 3.6 undergrad GPA. Can't remember my prerequisite GPA. 2 years of research experience with a publication. A lot of hospital volunteering. Got my nursing asst. certification and worked as...

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry to hear that beaee. Try to contact the admissions folks and see what you can work on. Good luck the rest of the way. I still have the following message: To date, no decision has been made on...

  18. I'm not the CNA I wanted to be.

    jkm07 replied to LightX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's exactly how I felt during clinicals. One of the CNAs told me that some of what I learned in class/clinicals is inapplicable to the real-world. Time management is extremely important, deadlines...

  19. My first day of NA clinicals

    jkm07 replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I remember getting clocked in the chin--twice--by a resident with dementia. It happens, but don't take it personally. They are confused, scared and wondering why I'm in their room at 2:00 am changing...

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for answering the questions. I really appreciate it! RE: clinical hours.. I remember reading in a previous MECN thread that UCLA had the most clinical hours of any school in the area. Did they...

  21. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    @lisapett42 How many days of class do you have per week? Weekends included? What are some things the program does well? In your opinion, what can be improved? Do you recommend part-time/per-diem work...

  22. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    jkm07 replied to ldytrjn's topic in California Nursing

    Also from the area, graduated from UCLA in 2010. I think UCLA holds a white coat ceremony if I'm not

    Still kind of surprised that the thread is only 7 pages long. Where are all the applicants

  24. Does it get better?

    jkm07 replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've just started at a SNF recently, but on a different shift. You're not alone! It does get better with experience. My first night was one I'd like to forget -- I made everything hard for myself...

  25. NCLEX Pass Rates (CSU, UC, Private)

    jkm07 replied to goodguyeddie's topic in California Nursing

    Another thing you may want to consider is where the nursing school has you do your clinical rotations. There's a world of a difference between a university medical center vs. a community hospital...
