skim through and do the study guide at the same time....at least you get some type of other stimulus. lol (Not just staring at a book non-stop.)
Good idea. I have looked at the lecture notes, handouts, and Evolve study questions but I guess I forgot about the actual Study Guide. I'll try that. I am just having trouble picking out the main ideas to be studied. Thanks.

To focus for your first test: remember Meds pub for communication questions, and there is a book I used, to help me focus and study, (which I think we have told you about before, so forgive me if we did). I really recommend it, it is called : Fundamentals Success , it will help you all through first semester.

How is peds going?
I worked L & D this past week and it was the best day I've ever had in clinical! I loved it! I"m thinking I may want to do that when I become an RN. I saw 2 C-Sect, 2 Vag, and 2 Tubals!!!! Not to mention all the things that were going on in between all that all day! It was awesome!
I was originally thinking I might want to do OR, then I thought maybe NICU, but now I'm all about L & D.
Good luck on test 1 this week, ours is on Tues morning! I haven't prepared as well as I should be- but I will cram it all in on Monday
I'm excited to do L&D - I've always loved that. Peds has been good - but they really are different little critters to take care of from a nursing perspective. I got to do one day in the Ped ICU which was fabulous. However, 30 minutes into the shift, my baby tried to crater on us. He did fine though, but I got to restrain while they were bagging him and getting the docs in and stuff....stressful, but really interesting.
Hope L&D is busy for me!

I'm gonna try and pick my MCP patient the first week also. We may only have 2 weeks of Peds, and MAYBE a 3rd...she's not sure. So, to be safe, I'm planning on it now. What form did you use to collect info for the MCP? She said she'd provide us with it this week, but I'd like to have it ahead of time so I can collect all the data I need.
