Block 4 Resources

[rachaelofcourse]

Hello all!

I was lucky enough to get accepted to do block 4 at GWCC during the summer. I will graduate in August now instead of December! Woo!

That being said, does anyone have an recommendations for extra books or anything that helped in block 4? (Block 4 is now Peds then Critical Care.)

Thanks!

Hi! I found out I was accepted into block 4 summer at GWCC. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the schedule that has the breakdown of what reading we are suppose to do for each day and what specific topics we cover? I know it will be different when I start but I want to get a head start during the 2 week break in between blocks 3 and 4! Thank you

Hey there!!

Were there any resources you found helpful for block 4?

The Pediatric Success book worked wonders for me. Not just for the practice questions but reading the rationales really drove home the learning points for peds. The Cardiovascular/Neuro/Respiratory chapters in the Medical Surgical Success book was the same thing when helping with critical care. Listening to lecture, then doing the questions in the book & reading the rationales REALLY helped me personally survive block 4.

Thank you for responding. I have both of those books, guess I better dust them off and put them to use.

HI rachaelofcourse -

How many students do you have from other schools?

I think for me the drive would be too much - I live in the west valley so to get downtown every day would be a killer. I'm CEP and already anxious about taking those classes while I'm in block 4, with finals etc.
