nursenicolea

Thanks! I'll certainly look into it. Not sure if I want OB, but I know I enjoyed Oncology when I worked at an outpatient chemo facility as a medical assistant. I guess we'll see!!

Anyone have any thoughts?

No but I'm going to pull out my old LPN Maternal nursing book and new one as well. I listed my top 3 choices of where to go and the instructor basically tried to match us up with whatever spots were available (limited due to other schools competing for these spots plus our instructor not exactly the best at being "on the ball"). My first choice was L&D, second choice was oncology, third was ER or med/Surg. No L&D spots but there was APU and mother/baby available and I told her I was leaning toward APU because I felt I would learn more and be able to relate it to med surg somewhat, so kind of a win win. Maybe I'm wrong. I could possibly find my own preceptor on the oncology floor but maybe the APU would help me decide on a career path a little more.

Hi, I'm an LPN-RN bridge student and am in my last semester. My instructor gave me the choice between the Antepartum/APU and Mother/baby. I went with APU and was hoping to get some advice from some nurses. My program kind of just skimmed over OB stuff since in LPN school we had extensive clinicals in OB. However, I've been out of LPN school for 6 years and I feel I'm a bit rusty on OB. Could someone give me some pointers on what I can expect on the APU and/or things I should brush up on? Should I have gone with Mother/Baby? I don't want my preceptorship to stress me out so bad and hate it, so I'm wondering if maybe Mother/ Baby is a little less stressful? I want to learn and get some good experience, but I don't want to be so stressed I can't stand it! Any help would be so great!!!!

Indeed!

WOW!!! I'd LOVE to have a DON like that!!!!!

I got mine. I got a couple from the school bookstore and a couple from amazon. My friend who just graduated told me that prior editions do the job, and most of the tests come from power points, but I'm too much of a nervous Nellie, thinking I'm gonna miss something, so I got exactly what was on the list. Lol. The books we need for the first couple classes are on the schedule we got. By the way, we all didn't really get much of an introduction to each other during the workshop. Then again, I wasn't feeling good that day, so I didn't talk much. Hope we get a chance to all come together at class!

I'm pretty excited as well!! I'd love to exchange email addresses.... Mine is [email protected]. Looking forward to meeting you all!

It means private message. Don't feel bad... I don't know how to do it on here. Lol :)

Congratulations, prettymica!!! You are graduating with my friend!! She did the hybrid program and was at the Rome campus!! I wish you the best!!!!

That's actually not a bad idea,thetwilson! Brush-ups never hurt!!!

Understood.
