Is anyone in MA anxiously awaiting decisions for Fall 2023?

What semester would you say was the most challenging for you?
I think 1st year was most challenging academically. Fall because we didn't know how to answer like a nurse, and mat/peds because I find all the changes in kids very weird! (Memorize vaccine schedules, development milestones, and stages now) My maternity clinicals were the most enjoyable though, If you have the chance to see a c-section and/or go to NICU please take it. (unless you have personal reasons not to)

Thank you for the advice!
I have people say on YouTube that mat/ped is very challenging. So... I am trying to prepare myself best I can for it. I love maternity and would love to see a C-section if I can and or go into the NICU!

No, they are set in stone unless something unforseen happens. Especially as far as the days and times for the first semester everything's the same each week. Second semester is a bit more tricky. The schedule changes each week for the pediatric rotation but stays mostly the same for OB rotation. But I suppose you can worry about that in 5 months time.

Also a little bit of advice with ehealth, make sure to listen to your voicethreads over and over as many times as you can and take notes because ehealth exams are very hard. Good luck!!

Hello!
Sorry I should probably introduce myself. I graduated in 2022 from BCC and now work in the ER. I was also in ehealth! ?
