Mr.Lollercoastr, CNA, LPN 34 Posts Specializes in LTC, Rehab.. Has 5 years experience. Sep 23, 2021 I'm going through OB right now FOR A SECOND TIME in a different program after getting dismissed because of Karen the clinical instructor from hell ??. Got an 80 on my first test, hopefully I do better on this next one. Last time I took the class, I carried an average in the low 80s throughout the 8-week course.

Overall I didn't hate OB as much as I thought I would, but definitely won't be my practice environment as a nurse..

Did you manage to pass this beast of a class? I actually ended up doing very well, but the OB class at my program is well established and the curriculum is vetted and continuously tweaked. I’m now in Peds, and quite worried..

For any hard specialty class I usually buy like supplementary guides to help me out, like the Reviews and Rationale Series, they break down the material into what you need to know and skip all the fluff. This book helped me a lot when studying for Peds.
