Back to the grind...
Spring break is officially over and it's back to school for me and my classmates. This session starts with 5 weeks of maternity followed by 5 weeks of peds and 10 weeks of research class concurrent with maternity and peds. My first clinical rotation starts this weekend (Sat and Sun 3-11pm - blarg, it's not the Sat night I care about, it's Sun. At least it's only 5 wks) so by Monday there will be an update on all those moms and babies I'll be seeing over the 2 days. At least the only diapers I'll be changing are those of the neonates.
I really am looking forward to a little change in curriculum. It'll be so nice to do a rotation where (almost) everyone is healthy and excited to be there. But seriously, this class is going to kick my butt. The amount of information we need is massive (I can hear the collective "duh" from all the moms already) and we are cramming a 15 wk course into 5 weeks. Jesus. Let's hope I can remember it all. Stay tuned.
Hefk, I'll be cognizant of where my badge is hanging at all times.

are you going to be a labor and delivery nurse? or the one after the baby has already been born?
i had some awesome nurses both times in the maternity recovery ward. My labor and delivery nurses? not so much.
Oh, God. Do badges dangle in unseemly places?
Well, they'll train us to do both. After that? Who knows? We still have to get thru intensive care, mental health and community health. I can totally see myself in maternity but once you're there you never leave. Of course, it all depends on who's hiring and for what come January...
Yes, badges commonly hang in unseemly places. But never fear--I keep alcohol wipes on me at all times.
