Hmm I know this may be a long shot but I believe we are one of the few hospitals in the country that refers to our high risk unit as MSCU...and since you are cross training I'm a little bit more sure that we are talking about the same place. A lot of what we see is PPROM, previas, IUGR, and issues with baby. We also do all inductions (cervical foleys, etc) until they are ready for pit on L&B. The good news is that an interview basically means you're in...it will be a hard transition especially because many times during your shift a few of your patients will have to be on the monitor at the same time so you're watching them all, but especially with a nursing background and a passion for OB you will do fine! I'm sure you had the interview already and rocked it :)

You really can't take time off unless for special circumstances and unfortunately I don't know if they'd consider vacation one of those. The fall semester is a typical college semester with clinical added. I don't know if anyone in my cohort took any break longer than 3 days through the 12 months. The only break is a week in between the first summer session and fall semester, and a week for spring break, as well as a week between the end of spring semester and start of May summer session A (if I remember correctly).
