hi, i'm a guy and just got done with my ob/peds rotation. I don't know why prof say such negative stuff. it puts a doom feeling in a guy before they even get on the floor. with that said, ob was probably the best experience i have had in nursing. i have one semester left. I was fearing going on a postpartum unit. But, i acted confident and gave the mother LOTS of compliments. my prof, "give lots of compliments, women love them and their free." haha. anyway, i never answered phones or emptied the trash. i was too busy dealing with the baby and mother. i even saw a birth, i stayed in the background with gloves on and the father didn't say anything to me and my clinical partner, a guy. During my peds rotation, my CS would ask who wanted to volunteer to go to the ED. i did, twice. it was a great experience. i got paired with a guy, which was cool. i didnt enjoy peds, depressing and the parents. yikes! We do have a critical care rotation, its the last semester, its paired with mental health nursing. which is weird. Don't buy into the hype of these profs. the experience is what you make of it. this is for an RN program. i wish you the best of luck.
