I know this is an old thread, but just a heads up for those interested. Yes, it is a credible program, but I wouldn't recommend it depending on what you're looking for in a nursing program. I'm currently in the program, and they are very psycho-social and research based program (as opposed to bio-patho-skill based programs). A lot of courses that they teach are not what will actually prepare you to be working on the floor (2 research courses, trends & issues courses). I have heard from nurses who have graduated from the program, that Brock did not prepare them at all for real world floor nursing. Yes, they start you off right away in first year in clinical, but the clinical placements are very limited in nature. I know of people who have done TWO semesters of clinical placements in a long term care home.

My apologies, I didn't intend to come across like I wanted anyone else to do my homework for me. I'm new to this whole forum posting thing, so I suppose I will need to be more specific in future posts . I was more looking for input from ER nurses regarding some of the more common issues seen in ER related to pregnancy. At first I had thought that placenta previa would be a good focus, but not really sure if this is something that is commonly seen in ER. Another focus that I had thought of was placenta abruptia, potentially serious, yes - but common? I want to focus in on something that will require the most intensive action from ER professionals, and something that is commonly seen.

Hi Everyone, I am in my L&D rotation and I have to make up a learning plan. L&D is not an area that I am interested in ever pursuing, so I am trying to keep positive and direct my learning activities to my ultimate goal of becoming an ER nurse. I was wondering what some of the most common L&D complications that ER nurses see, or feel that it would be important for me to learn as a future ER nurse? I am trying to make this rotation as relevant and exciting for myself as possible. Thanks!!
