PLEASE READ!!:
MARY MEDIATRIX SCRUBS (SPECIAL CASE)

On August 2010, the Level 3 Mary Mediatrix Clinical Instructors made a “data accumulation sytem” thru the VP Academics team. 3-weeks of grace period was given to those who would like to gather their missing data by downloading a certain form provided at www.icons2011.blogspot.com, filling it up with their needed data’s, and sending it over an email add provided.

Only 58 students submitted their requests. Sir Raul San Diego went to mary mediatrix just to find those data’s; he even had to sleep overnight the operating room. The data’s were given back 2 weeks after the submission, and was accordingly distributed by putting it up at the photocopy center.

Come second semester, there has been an INFLUX of data gathering request. We were expecting that since only 58 handed over their request, the REST WOULD HAVE COMPLETE DATA ALREADY; but then we were wrong. Counting on the scrubs that needed data, it would be around 100+. Now the Clinical Instructors opened the grace period and went to mary mediatrix for further data gathering alongside their clinical supervision with the Level 3 students.

Thing is, they found PROBLEMS in data gathering:

1. There are 2 logbooks they have to check on everytime: the GS (General Surgery) logbook, and the OB logbook.
2. Often times, the GS Logbook does not contain the whole information of the client (ex., no middle name)
3. The only LEGIT Data bank they could search on is the OR Computer, a device which contains ALL OPERATING ROOM DATA’S. Thing is, the OR SUPERVISOR does not allow clinical instructors to use the computer. Which explains the latest request still lacking of middle names et.al.

Sir Raul attested that, MMMCs protocol (as of last year) on gathering patient data has 2 steps:

1. Student Nurses should make a letter, addressed to the surgeon, in request to gather data.
2. If the Surgeon and Patient consents on it, then you will be brought to the medical records to pursue on data gathering.

Now Mary Mediatrix is ON HOLD since of these critical problems.

Thanksgiving

iCONs:

I'm hungry! I haven't had mom's home cooking in 3years since I've been stationed here in the S. Pacific. I am craving some Smoked turkey, gravy c mashed potatoes, rice, and some vegetables. Clean up with some hot pumpkin pie (or raspberry pie), freshly backed chocolate chip cookies and french vanilla icecream. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Even if I'm not home, I am indeed thankful for a lot. 1) I'm alive- almost got hit by a bus and car these past fridays- ya, go figure. 2) Lucky to be taken by a smart, exquisitely gorgeous and intelligent girlfriend 3) that I'm part of batch iCONs and that we are almost done with our 2 steps.

So over the weekend or today for that matter. Be thankful.

iCONs UNITED!

iCONs UNITED

iCONs,

Congratulations to all of us for we have maintained the tradition of maintaining a CON President.

I would like to clear up some misunderstandings that have formulated rumors which have been passed around:

1. I am NOT bitter nor discouraged about the Graduating Class Elections. I even voted for Lexan because I wanted CON to have the Presidency. My focus is for the Dedication and being President for the entire CON
- So Congratulations to Lexan and Chester for representing CON- iCONs

2. Mrs. Camba and I have talked and we are cool with each other. We've discussed how actions on both sides have led to mis-understandings- fueled by false FB comments, rumors, and mis-communications based on cultural differences. We are all moving forward together (Ci's and officers) and I hope that the batch can move forward with us also.

3.I will continue to do my job as President- To be your advocate and fast drip our dedication plans: to make it simple, elegant but yet memorable.

So my 2nd Semester Charge to all iCONs is for us to come closer together. To Stay UNITED as we finish our 2 steps: step 1) Graduate step 2) Review and take the boards. Let us make the last 4months memorable.

iCONs UNITED!

Acute Biological Crisis Powerpoints and Handouts (From Sir Falculan)

Hey iCONista!

Sir Falculan's handouts for his lecture on Acute Bio Crisis (for the first week) are now already posted below.

Since it's a LECTURE handout, and to protect the author's rights and claims (hardwork, sleepless nights, and thorough research just to make this powerpoints) i made several modifications on the file:

1. From PPT and DOC format, i converted it into PDF (so no intentional or unintentional modification can be made on the file; it'll come RAW and FRESH from the Author's stash)

2. I encrypted PASSWORD on each file; Files are exclusive for ICONS use only.

So what's the password?

Well, things doesn't always have to go EASY! :D (like the way i provide the duty schedule password thru the net, and all you guys need to do it to encode it and viola!). This time i put up a challenge; most specifically to those who already had their lecture under sir falculan.

To be able to access the file, one must encode the right answer corresponding to each designated question; these answers will serve as the password.

Here they are!:

Day 1 Ppts (File Name: Types of Hemodynamic Monitoring and Arterial Blood Gases):

Question:

"Identify Arterial Blood Gas result, plus it's compensation"

PH = 7.30

PCo2 = 48

HCO3 = 24

Clue: 3 words (Note: when you encode, there should be no space, ex. fullydebilitatedjeromecasel)

Day 2 Ppts (File name: Interventions for Critically Ill Patients with Respiratory Problems and ECG (Electrocardiogram)

Question:

"In ECG Tracing, when should you apply cardioversion? at the peak of?"

Clue: 1 letter and a word (e.g., Pway)

ER Drugs Handout (File name: Emergency Drugs)

Question:

" The Drug of Choice (DOC) for Premature Ventricular Contractions is?"

Clue: one word (e.g., placebo)

Rationale behind the mind-boggling password:

"Well, besides protecting the rights and interests of the author, we would also like to be in the interest of the first 3 sections that had their lecture under Sir Falculan. Thus these questions is quite impossible to answer by those who haven't had their lecture under Mr. Falculan YET. (well, unless you go in depth research on the answers, or someone inside sections A-B-C tapped you with the answer)

Without Further ado, here are the files:

CLICK HERE -----> Day 1 Powerpoints

CLICK HERE ---->Day 2 Powerpoints

CLICK HERE ---->Emergency Drugs Handouts

Remarks:

1. Day 1 and Day 2 powerpoints are archived into a ZIP file. You must unzip them first to collapse all the file. The Password for each file from corresponding day is the answer to its corresponding question stated above.

2. Sections DEF will know the answers as soon as they have their theory with Sir Falculan.

Enjoy!

iCONS News Update: Elections 2010

Batch iCONS decides on their future:

An In-depth Look on the recent senior class officers elections

by: Chester Rebojo

Silang Cavite, Philippines - a group of 203 Senior nursing students, commonly known as Batch iCONS 2011, Decided and made move to destine their future, as they casted their votes to slate certain people to govern them on July 2, 2010 at College of Nursing Review Rooms.

Straight from their hemorrhage inducing Communicable Disease and Immunity Unit Exam, these Individuals Commissioned and Opportuned to be Nurses for Service, sat down yet again to decide upon the Batch’s future.

The program commenced at around 9:30 AM, with an opening prayer from Ma’am Ruby Barrios, Level 4 Clinical Instructor. Ma’am Nanette Camba, Level 4 Department Head, facilitated the elections. This year, the GPA cut-off to all the offices was cut-down from 3.7 (for major offices

) and 3.5 (for minor offices) to a justified range of 3.0; giving chance to most individuals to lead and humbly serve the batch.

“This feels very awkward, and im a little bit anxious with the outcome,” a batchmate verbalizes as Ma’am Lea Divina and Ma’am Marj Sibayan wr

ote down the possible nominees for each position. After the list was rolled down, the nominations commenced.

Many names were nominated, but only few were called to serve. Here’s the official list of officers with their corresponding votes percentage:

Out of 202 Voters, these names garnered their corresponding vote percentage on their respective offices.

President:

Levi Villareal (64%)

Vice President Religious:

Melanie Jacinto (31%)

Vice President Social:

Stassy Manigos (60%)

Vice President Academics:

Chester Rebojo (84%)

Secretary:

Riset Toyogon (34%)

Associate Secretary:

Sophia Sadsad (21%)

Treasurer:

Adrian Dayto (69%)

Associate Treasurer:

Luigi Galang (38%)

Public Informations Officer:

Kevin Esteban (39%)

Nepthali Laxamana (15%)

Artists:

Ivan Solis (43%)

Razel Acquioben (20%)

“Congratulations to the new officers! Blowout naman jan!”, the L4 COMELEC com

mented as the tally of votes were officially closed at around 12:30

PM.

This years election, compared to the past elections, is a whole lot more serious; maybe because their has been some “campaigning” days prior to the elections. Now the votes has been casted, and

those names were slated on their respective positions, we’ll just have to see how truly “serious” they would be with their Jobs.

Change has been called, and has appeared upon eventually. The officers, under the Leadership of Mr. Villareal, hope and pray that this would mark the the start of a broader, better, and bigger change for the batch - all directed for the best.

iCONS 2011 Officers (S.Y. 2010-2011)

Many names had been nominated but at the end of the day few were called. The people had spoken. Let the truth be told..
