Starting first clinical rotation - start with Adult or Women's health?

Hello all,

Good news I just landed a OB/GYN preceptor, office manager said that they were not taking students, but I had an inside lead to the provider and she is willing to take me starting either in August 2015 or Jan 2016. My should I start my first clinical rotation in August with Women's health OB/GYN (120 clinical hours) or with my Internal Medicine MD for my Adult patient rotation (240 hours). To me it makes more sense to start with Adults before tackling the much more stress inducing world of OB/GYN (I'm a male RN in a predominately male patient VA hospital).

What do you all think? Women first or Adult? Peds is summer 2016 with final practicum fall 2016. Btw, I need to submit clinical confirmation paperwork asap, no rush or anything

I would say just based off the fact that they seem to not want students.... do them quick before they change their minds! Lol
