Hey guys with the digital cameras!! Please help me start gathering lots of pictures for our graduation slide show presentation! It is not too early to start....we need some of the early times in our show! Thank you all!!
What a beautiful day we had today at Paramount's Great America! The weather wasn't too hot, or too cold...we were all able to enjoy the water rides, as well as the coasters! Katheryn and her daughter shot Chuck and his family with the water sprayers, they got pretty soaked! Tim and his family ended up right behind our boat, and they ended up soaking wet too! Julie Kay looked pretty in her hat, and her family was as sweet as she is!! Bonnie, Debbie and Michelle from the semester ahead of us came, and had a fun time too! This is just some of the happy memories of today....There were lots of pictures taken, which will be used in our slide show come graduation! There were lots a kids, lotsa famalies...and lots and lots of fun had! Thank you to everyone for coming, we needed a day out to laugh and have fun..and that we did! See you all at the next outing!

Very sad to see Mrs. Prieto retire!!! She was a super clinical instructor. I know the staff at SJGH will really miss her. Enjoy the pictures :)





Hello everybodyyyyyyy!!! For those of you going into N7 at St Joes...I have some things for you all! I work in SICU at St Joes and I put together some packets of daily documentation, lab results and the glucose "Portland Protocol". The latter, is difficult to get used to at first, the titration of insulin drips can seem complicated, but this protocol has worked very well for the ICU patients and once you get used to it...you will do really great with it. I have a Potassium supplement, and other familiar documents as well. I dont mind meeting with you guys to give you this paperwork and I could go over daily charting with you too...of course I am not an expert, so......DONT BLAME ME!! LOL...I would just like to offer my assistance with the paperwork and the charting to you guys..if you are interested, send me an email and we can meet up before school starts k? Take care..congrats everyone on a job well done this semester! We will all be "together again" on Friday!! :)

To all students...Today I was assigned to go to Family Ties recovery program, and although I learned alot, it was not a pleasant experience. This program is used to teach mothers and mothers to be, how to care for their children and live a functioning life style without drug or alcohol abuse. I learned that as of July 1st, the funding that supports this program will be cut thanks to our elected officials.
If you could help out in any way with donations, the facility will take anything. They are most needy of new born and infant clothing and supplies, although they could use anything such as adult clothing, childrens clothing, car seats, cribs, house hold items, kitchen utencils, and even baby formula.
After July 1st, it will cost the clients $85/day to belong to the program. For most of the clients that is near impossible since many are homeless and do not have jobs.
Please do what you can to help...any donation makes a difference!!!
