Breyonna J.
Breyonna’s JHSJP Placement
Pathology - Core Lab
From Breyonna’s supervisor:
"Breyonna was a stellar intern who trained in Flow Cytometry. In five weeks, she quickly learned how to accession samples, scan their paperwork, perform quality assurance tasks, and met with the technical specialists to learn about the flow lab testing for leukemia and lymphoma patients. The lab is also undergoing a LEAN project, so Breyonna also helped fold down boxes and shred incredible amounts of paperwork to clear the area. She was awesome and her smile brightened up everyone's day when she was there."

Clinical Education
From James’s supervisor:
James, a rising Senior from Glenelg High School, is interned with the Clinical Education team at Johns Hopkins Howard Medical Center. During this internship, he helped us in various digital works and prepare education kits for the new nurse graduates. Moreover, he has been diligently supported and guided by our team as we work to initiate and implement projects to foster nursing education. He has successfully completed two major projects. James has spent time learning a new survey tool, Qualtrics, and shared creative ideas to help us develop an electronic skills assessments and education evaluation for an upcoming Pain Resource RN (Registered Nurse) program. Our staff also challenged James to develop educational videos on setting bed alarms for Fall-Risk patients and PD (Peritoneal Dialysis). These projects will enhance the educational resources available to our healthcare team.
