A few N8 tips

Hey all you 2nd rotation OB peeps....greetings and good luck in N8! The theory lecture goes verbatim with the syllabus so you don't have to take class notes from stratch (yeah!). Ms. Batson's tests are not just all multiple choice. There are a lot of fill-in and short answer questions; know your interventions and rationales (as always!). The third test was the hardest and longest because it had the most writing involved. There's a lot of busy work in clinical but the 3 most time-consuming things are: 1) drug worksheet that has to be filled out before your first clinical day, 2) the neonatal theory worksheet (what's normal in a head-to-toe newborn assessment v. what's not normal)...this has to be filled out before your assigned day in the nursery and 3) the oral presentation (because you have to include recent/pertinent research related to your topic). If anyone has any questions, post them on the blog....have fun!
