Last semester ahead (fall '07)....what's your advice?

[SoulShine75]

Hi! I'm coming upon my 4th and final semester of the ADN/RN program. What can you tell me about this semester (ours is Ob/PEDS), what should I expect, what did you experience and what advice do you have for those graduating in the fall of '07??

Thanks in advance...

I'm graduating in Fall of '07, too!

I just finished Peds and took OB last fall. The biggest thing that helped me was specific care plan books to OB (to write those dreaded care plans and concept maps) and the Incredibly Easy book series. Also, READ and know your lab values backward and forward. I loved both classes and hope to get a job in one of those areas! GL!

Congrats to you too. One more semester....:w00t: Thanks for the tips about OB/Peds. I'm hoping to get a job in that area too. Let's hope there isn't much competition at that time. Good luck!
