OB has got me down

Published

Going into week 7 of a 15 week semester. First OB test covers 16 chapters.

Prof says no study guide, go over the PowerPoint slides and do the ATI and you'll do fine.

I spent over a week making notes from the slides and the text. I read and did the questions for all the ATI chapters that went along with it. I did all the NCLEX mastery questions for OB too.

Day of the test I felt like I did pretty good. Like at least an 80. I got a 64. The whole class did terrible, so it wasn't just me. But that's the worst grade I've gotten on a test and I'd like to not repeat that.

So what do I do differently? I have scheduled a meeting with the prof to go over the test.

I know it was all the SATA questions. We get no credit unless we choose all the correct options. No partial credit.

Have you had your OB clinical yet? For me personally, I found the classroom and textbook part of OB hard to understand until I was actually doing it and seeing it in clinical. Now I am an OB nurse and absolutely love it, but it didnt necessarily start out that way!

Yes. It's over already. It consisted of one lab day and 3 clinical shifts d/t holidays at the beginning of the semester.

Brief update, I got a 94 on the second exam. I also scored a level 2 on the ATI exam. That first one must have been a fluke?

I'll chalk it up to not feeling well.
