I'm in my second semester of nursing school taking peds and OB for nursing, and a microbiology class (waste of time). I've only got two weeks left, and though I know I don't have much time left, it still seems like I have so much more to do. Probably because this is the most boring semester of college I've ever had, and on the flip-side, pretty much all of the girls in my class are enjoying it. Our clinicals are nothing to be desired, 99% observation, which means little to me as I learn more while working at the hospital as a CNA than I do at clinicals.

Next semester I'm heading to med/surg and psych. I'm looking forward to it. I know it'll be harder, but I hope it's harder. The harder the class, the better I do. And it'll be more interesting to me, and clinicals will be more involved and I'll actually get to spend time with patients rather than just observing.. ugh.. :uhoh3:

Where's everyone else heading?

Hopefully you'll get to do more than just observe. I'd assume many schools get much more hands-on than we're getting. Observation is good of course, but hands-on is 100x better for learning.

I can't wait but at the same time I can lol this semester is Chem, Med/surg I and Humanities, but over the summer I have Statistics, Eng II, Sociology and OB I then with out even a week of I get to dive right into a 12cr Med/surg II, Assessment & Skills lab & finally a real clinical rotation set, up till now we're only on the floor from 6:45-12, not enough time for me, also hoping we get assigned 2 pts, still only assigned one for now and once u get in a rythm you feel like you aren't doing enough cuz you're looking for things to do so you don't look like you're just standing around lol

I agree with the both of you. I am taking a peds clinical, peds class, community class, community clinical, reaserch, and OB class. I have been just getting my nuts kicked by everything. I will be over soon and not in worry about failing any classes :). Good luck everyone.

Peds/OB is kicking my butt.. I have an 81-82% in that class, and 85% is a B. I'm actually studying for this crap and still not getting a B. I hate this class. At least in Med/Surg I'll start learning about the stuff I want to know. I'm not saying I don't have to be familiar with Peds/OB, but I'm going into adult critical care, so hopefully the chances of me ever having to work with peds patients or women in labor will be minimal anyway...
