Class schedule question

So my school changed their curriculum around and is making 2nd semester students (myself) take pediatrics before maternity. So I'd be taking peds with med surg 1 next semester. Would you guys recommend those med surg 1 and pediatrics at the same time? Or should I worry? hehe :eek:

Don't know how it is at other schools, but i know it was maternity first before peds. I don't know if it matters or not.

    Maternity and peds are two very different specialties. What order they are taught in school doesn't really matter. Your other question probably can't be answered here as each school has the freedom to set up their curriculum as they wish as long as it meets BON requirements. What may be med/surg 1 at your school may be different than med/surg 1 at another. Or, the school may not even call it med/surg 1. My school called it adults with chronic and acute health issues.

    We did the same as well. I really don't think that it matters.

    OB and peds are two separate things. It doesn't really matter what order they are taught. We did ob/peds the same semester but they were taught separately. And that was my third semester. You will be fine. It's just some extra work.

    I was a little worried. One of my friends who's ahead of me told me Peds and Med surg 1 would be hard together.

    Add me to the list of people who think it's irrelevant what order Peds and Maternity are taught. When I was in school we did Med Surg 1 on its own then Med Surg 2/Maternity then Peds/Psych. I thought Peds and Psych were hard together, not necessarily because the material was hard, but because one day I was with dying children who wanted nothing more than to live and the other, I was with people who were intent on killing themselves.

    We take Maternity/Peds/Gerontology in the same semester along with hesi exams for all of them. I heard through the grapevine that Peds and maternity was difficult and it will be extra difficult for me because I have absolute 0 interest in Peds or Maternity.

    Med Surg 1 we take by itself.

    At my school we take OB, Peds, and advanced pharm together....and its during the summer semester! 😩 I have heard that peds and ob are really hard together and to have to take it during a short semester is really going to be streqssful. You just have to keep your focus and get through it no matter what order the classes are in! Good luck on everything!
