Tuesday Clinicals at Delete Blood Cancer with Professor Egues
Team leader: Anthony Scolavino
Memebers: Lucieune Dalzon, Ursule Jean-Guillaume, Keshia Jackman, Camila German, Jessica Lee

On Thursday, September 26th, I attended the NSNA / Nutrix Nursing Club meeting. I am the VP of NSNA. Now that I am an officer of a club, I now have permission to get any of the posters/adds stamped in order to post them up around the entire campus. I also found out that there is a qualification that posters/adds have to meet in order to get stamped. It must have the Citytech college logo. I already have obtained several copies of the logo to give to DKMS so they can start creating posters/adds and fliers for us. I also spoke to Professor Okumapei and Forbes during the Nutrix meeting. I will be trying to contact the president of the Nutrix club to hopefully be able to have them be involved with our bone marrow registration fare that we will be setting up on campus.

-And also, if anyone is interested in contributing to the breast cancer walk, the Nutrix / NSNA will be walking as team together. If you’re interested in making a donation to support the American Cancer Society against breast cancer as well as our Citytech nursing club, please visit:

The walk will take place on Sunday, October 20th. The nursing team will plan to gather on Lincoln Rd & Ocean Ave at Prospect Park (Brooklyn) at 0800. The team will proceed to the walk to the park at 0815.

Tuesday Clinical at Bellevue Hospital Center with Dr. Leinung
Team Leader: Alison Miller
Team Recorder: Shayna John
DOH Procurement: Tina Mahler
Vendor Procurement: Christina Ming
Community Assessment: Sonia Preston-Campbell
Team members: Sabrina Azeez, Michelle Bazil, Juliet Coombs-Puranda, Tashiba Thomas

This clinical group will be providing literature to all Bellevue Hospital Center outpatient clinics in the form of posters, videos, handouts, infographics, and brochures. We will work with the infection control department at Bellevue to either participate in their flu shot clinics, or to organize our own. Part of this initiative will be educating Bellevue staff on the importance of flu shots for healthcare providers, as well as demystifying concerns that staff or the public have about the annual flu vaccine.

At clinical on Wednesday september 25, we finalized our topics for our presentations. My group is doing a teaching presentation on safety in the home. We felt that it was an important topic to speak on because many of the people that go to the Stein Center do live alone, and do not have family near by to check on them frequently. We understand that the elders are at risk for falls and we felt that that if we can teach them little interventions that can reduce their risks, then it would be of great help. Our clinical professor also felt that it was a good topic to do a presentation on. We were allowed some time in the computer lab to begin some research on the topic. We also took some blood pressures. I’m not too sure though if today was a good day for a lot of the seniors. They seemed to be on edge and snappy. I don’t know, maybe it was just me. I did actually get a chance to speak to one of the seniors that I felt was a little on edge and when i asked her how her morning was going she replied “Not so well. I didn’t get enough sleep last night and I also miss my grandchildren.” Her reply wasn’t so hostile. It seemd as though she was surprised and pleased that someone had asked how she was doing. We spoke for a while and by the end of the conversation I can tell that her mood had changed for the better. Seniors are humans also, they’re just a tad bit more fragile, physically and emotionally. I looked forward to more experiences like this, where I feel like i had made a difference.

My group is working with Delete Blood Cancer and Dr. Egues to organize bone marrow drives. Our group leader is Anthony Scolavino and our members are me, Keshia Jackman, Jessica Lee, Lucieune Dalzon, Ursule Jean-Guillaume.

As of our last clinical meeting (September 24), we were working on the logistic of setting up our first drive, which will happen in City Tech. We had to contact many different departments within the school to arrange permission to put up posters, find an appropriate location to set up the table and recruit volunteers in the ASN program to assist us. We will also be sending out a mass email to all City Tech students announcing the date of the drive, so we had to figure out which layout we would use for the email (Delete Blood Cancer is providing flyers, posters, and all other promotion materials). We will be handing out flyers and we also plan on having an information session for students and faculty a few days prior to the drives to answer some of the most common questions people have in regards to bone marrow donation, so they are fully educated. We are also planning a second drive this semester, outside of the school.

This is an article about an orthopedics nurse who registered with Delete Blood Cancer 2 years ago and was found to be a match. http://thegazette.com/2013/09/29/the-gift-of-life/

Let us think also of the Spanish-speaking community who are a large percentage of the visitors to Bellevue Hospital Center.
