You need to do what I did. My first rotation in OB was the birth of my second son. I was a rock star during the rotation! Everyone knew me, treated me great and gave me enough diapers for a year! The rest of the rotation was fantastic and I got to see just about everything you could imagine. When I finished school I was a float and sometimes floated to OB and there was no problem (other than being bored).
Seriously, it is important to act professional and there should not be a problem.

We're not talking about buying cars or TVs here, this is healthcare. It'd be utterly ridiculous for a woman to refuse a black nurse, hiding behind the excuse that she was 'abused' by a black guy awhile back, and it's ridiculous here for the same reason, or any reason at all simply based on gender.

I understand if a nurse or doctor is doing something specifically to make you uncomfortable. By all means, ask for someone else. But just because of simply who they are? That is sexist, discriminatory, and there is no sugar-coating you can put on it to justify it, and if you feel that way, you are an embarrassment to us all.
Sorry, but you are wrong. In the U.S. at least, a patient has the absolute legal right to refuse care by any provider for any reason they choose. At the point they do so, the facility has three options: a) Attempt to accommodate their request; b)discharge them if their condition permits; or c)arrange transfer to another facility if it does not.

I am just finishing up my OB rotation now, THANK GOD!!!! L&D is OK; so is the nursery. Post partum is killing me. Don't get me wrong, all of the Mom's have been great. It is just that I feel like an intruder. I feel that I am intruding on a very special time in these peoples lives and I don't belong there. I go home feeling........not sure what I am feeling. I know for sure it isn't where I am suppose to be.

I just finished OB Wednesday. I watched a c/s, and was kicked out of all the SVD's. In postpartum, no patient would allow me to do lochia/peri assessments. We had 13 students at our hospital, and very seldom had as many patients as students, so it was majorly boring for the dudes.

There was a saving grace, though.

I spent a great deal of time in the newborn nursery (and less in the NICU) and absolutely loved it.

I'm precepting there (or in the Nursery), in April. Already arranged it with a hospital and nurse. Can't wait.

It's definitely where I want to work.
