OB NURSING | STUDY TIPS, WHAT TO EXPECT, CONTENT & CLINICAL!

[@nicolelester4567]

I absolutely LOVED this video, OB is what I plan on specializing in when I finish nursing school. I honestly could've listened to you talk about this for hours, you're one of my favorite nursing school youtubers because you remind me a lot of myself! I'm also interested in starting my nursing career in Chicago. Keep up the awesome work girl!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

AHHHH thanks Nicole! TWINS

[@nicolelester4567]

Thank you! Maybe we'll get the pleasure of working together someday!

[@mallauricox4232]

You would be such a great OB nurse!!!! I had my daughter 7 weeks ago and you remind me so much of my nurse that I had, and I absolutely loved her. If it wasn't for her fighting for me I would have gotten rejected from my hospital for the second time. I hope you chose to stick with this speciality because you would be such a fighter for your patient and so helpful in any way possible!! You have such a big heart

[@HolleyGabrielle]

This makes my heart so happy, thank you SO MUCH!

[@Erica-ur4lv]

You are just like me with studying! I absolutely need to write everything out and then if I still don’t get it, I go to the book and read or try to find a KZbin video. Some people think I’m crazy with allllll my notes, but it just doesn’t stick as well if I don’t take the time to write it out. Keep shining, beautiful! Love your content. ❤️

[@kaylajohnson4619]

LOVED THIS! I start my ADN program August 20th and OB is something I’m very interested in! NICU & OB are definitely my top two dream jobs at this point!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

YESS!!!

[@keaccor5132]

I start my ADN program August 20th as well and we start covering OB.

[@justinedc2000]

Hey holley, Could you do a video more in-depth about your notes and how you take them ?

[@JoseGarcia-se1nx]

justine please!!!

[@Aesthetics.Torres]

The transition to OB/Peds in nursing school is a TOUGH one 😩 Some programs have TERRIBLE timing integrating these specialties into their programs, often because of the constraints on availability of clinical locations 🙄. However-- as you said-- it's a WHOLE different ball game, for any specialty. The main beefs I hear are about the sheer AMOUNT OF TIME spent learning OB 😧, especially when only a couple of the prospective nurses in your cohort might be interested in the pursuing it. The future of nursing programs need to be less cookie cutter context ☝️, and cater to the wide variety of nursing specialties out there to prepare us for the real world. Not saying OB and of course pediatrics shouldn't be covered, just always so heavily (Half of the program for some programs! 😱). Thanks Holley 💕

[@HolleyGabrielle]

LOVE LOVE THIS COMMENT AMEN YES THANKK YOUU

[@TiyanaSmith]

This is true I start 2nd semester on da 20th and I will hve med surg, psych, and peds and they already told us tht we won’t be covering peds/OB a lot through out da program and I’m like what 😳

[@TiyanaSmith]

Yes Aug 20th I will be in 2nd semester so glad to hve watched u thru ur journey! I knw u will be a great nurse 😘😘😘

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thanks so much! Good luck to you!

[@francescarw]

Me too!!

[@shamikaanne8234]

I LOVE watching your videos. I am so motivated to start this fall! I love that you keep it so real when it comes to how you felt and difficulties you faced with your classes. Keep up the awesome work! You're almost at the finish line!

[@annachristopher6367]

your videos make me so excited to start nursing school 😄😄☺️☺️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

GREAT!!! :) I am so glad!

[@kailabeedie9805]

Hey girl!! I just finished the RN program and am preparing for boards and I just wanted to say that the end is coming!!! And it will feel so great when you get there! Congrats you’re almost done!!

[@averiefuller2225]

Perfect timing! I’m starting my OB/PEDS semester in like 3 weeks! 🤣 it’s semester 3/5 for me, and I’m super excited for it, because my mom is actually an L&D nurse! Love your channel!

[@bernyortiz7940]

Love you Holley! I have a year to finish my nursing prerequisites and you make me so excited for nursing!! OB is where I hope to be in the future!!

[@theretailnurse8836]

OB/Peds was by far the most content heavy for me! One of our tests covered, like, 18 chapters 😖 Developmental milestones and immunizations were huge in peds and all of that was so hard for me to remember!

[@julietalderson3601]

youre so amazing for making these videos! its nice to hear someones personal experience through nursing school, your channel is so helpful:)))

[@HolleyGabrielle]

So glad to hear!!! Thanks for the support, love!

[@mssmith9227]

Thanks so much for this video Taking this next quarter wanted to get prepared for the class during break 💕

[@lydializ2705]

I wanna be a OB nurse so bad! That’s my passion ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

DO IT! :)

[@nikkayx333]

I wish nursing schools taught more about loss. All trimesters, stillbirth, and SIDS. As a mama to an angel, it’s incredibly necessary a nurse knows more than just the basics to these common (more than you think) situations.

[@marcelsmith2945]

I go back to school next week and take Peds/OB alongside the clinical rotations this upcoming semester (Senior year: woot woot!) Thanks for another great video! You go into great detail as always and I always find your content helpful.

[@caitlinfox5393]

I'm a sophomore nursing major and start clinicals in the fall. Definitely going to take some getting used to juggling classes with clinical. I've always wanted to do OB as well so it's interesting to hear your experience.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yes FOR SURE! It is totally different for everyone I feel like:) Hope your experience is great!

[@hannad8818]

Hey Holley!! I love watching your videos!! As a fellow nursing student, I would love to see a video on Med Surg 2!! I love hearing your tips and how you study. Thank you for being so relatable and being honest!!! 💕

[@Beek009]

I'm in OB clinical right now. wasnt my fave subject in lecture but clinical is going well so far. hope it stays that way!

[@Chicken-333]

The NICU was an amazing experience it’s absolutely incredible!

[@marykhouri8661]

Thank you so much! We start school on August 20th as well. Your video definitely made my thought process going in so much easier. Looking forward to the Peds video.

[@DezundriaWilliams]

This is my biggest interest! I’m so happy to have watched this video ! Can’t wait until I’m on the other side of the camera telling my story

[@kcavss]

This video came right on time for me! I’m going to be taking OB this fall and I am extremely nervous but excited!

[@s.herrera9440]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm about to start my fourth semester and do OB and this is so helpful I cannot wait for your other videos!!

[@tonikirbas56]

I started OB/Peds/Psych today and it's mostly virtual. thanks for the inspiration and tips!

[@annmarie9155]

I'm so excited for OB. I still have a little while to go but super excited for this class!!!!!

[@delaneyc6156]

OB was a very challenging class for me when I was in school. Babies and children are so much different than adults!

[@delaney1237]

I’m just starting my BSN, so I won’t do OB until next year, but after this video I am so excited!!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yay! So glad :)

[@gabrielaguillen3485]

Yay I’m so happy you uploaded ☺️💕love from DC

[@thissillylife3745]

Schools like HFC cram medsurg, OB, Pharm, two clinicals and 3 random question HESI exams (which can bring down your grade) in one semester. Then they wonder why their pass rate is 3%.... It's so much tougher than explained here. Really make sure you have the $30,000 (plus food gas clothing expenses) to waste because if you fail your final exam (after all that work) you fail the program and lose all of your time and money. Know everything about your schools program before you begin because it can be a horror story.

[@yasmino.2193]

Yup wish I would have know I have 4 weeks ob, 4 weeks peds, pharmacology 8 weeks and med surg 8 weeks. I’m so scared 😢

[@kayleigh1132]

I’m from the UK and I’m starting my university course in midwifery a month today and I’ve never been so excited! 💞

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yay congrats!!

[@kayleigh1132]

Holley Rojek thank you! I adore maternity care it’s such a fascinating subject I’m super excited!

[@whitezoie12]

Omg I don’t think our school does “Case Mom” but I would love thattt.

[@KatelynMariee]

Woohoo girl! I'll be graduating in December as well! So exciting! Love your videos :) I want to be in OB

[@HolleyGabrielle]

YES TEAM GRADUATE IN DECEMBER!

[@lindsayd1188]

I start nursing school August 20th :) doing an ADN program. OB and babies are my dream as well! I love your videos ❤️ I’m terrified and excited at the same time ☺️

[@PreparelikeJoseph]

First thing I got to see was a c-section. It was awesome!! As a man, I had to have a female with me at all times, hence I didn't see male nurses working anywhere else but in the OR, and they were the NP, Anesthetist, and surgeons.

[@fry8471]

Love your positive attitude! Great video

[@angelplate5067]

Hey Holley, I've noticed that all your notes and binders are organized so well.. could you possibly do a video going over how you take notes and organize?

[@andrewnathan2903]

ATI BOOK SAVES LIVES

[@hailey8941]

If there was one portion of nursing school I could skip, itd be OB entirely. Everyone has their one thing to them that’s disgusting, whether it’s sputum or vomit, for me it’s childbirth. Nothing to me is more disgusting and brutal. Definitely fearing OB, I’d rather die than see someone give birth. I’ve seen the videos and I almost passed out.

[@whitneyandress9443]

Can you do a pediatrics version?! I did OB but start Peds in the fall and am SO nervous because that’s what I want to go into and i don’t want to be stressed trying to learn EVERYTHING

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Next video on deck;)

[@raulysse1]

I loved this video ❤️ I’m a pre nursing student who’s very interested in OB !

[@emily71901]

I have this class next month, thank you for this vid!! :-)

[@QueenWitchy]

I take OB this semester! Thanks for the tips!

[@ceeceeobh2707]

Loving her energy 😍🙈

[@NOLALady1221]

Oh man my labor was 36 hours and still ended in a c section 🤣 Good thing I didn’t have a student nurse! Although I would’ve loved having one!

[@anneliesedunaway2126]

Loved this video as I've started working towards CNM.

[@kimn9542]

OMG I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU

[@HolleyGabrielle]

WOO HOO

[@alondramedina225]

I loved it! Great explanation!

[@jaileneperez5292]

I love your videos 😭 & youre soo beautiful!❤️❤️

[@megmazza5501]

Thanks girl 🤍

[@kelseyberard7070]

You and Sam should do a video comparing notes and seeing how they were different. Also which classes you guys liked better or found easier too(:

[@dakotakayleigh8214]

Start nursing school in the fall! Love your videos 😄 K

[@selfdevelopmentlab4078]

Congrats on pursuing your dream! :)

[@kelseypingeon8572]

our school gives us ATI books as well, is that how you plan on studying for the NCLEX? Our school says that we should but I'm unsure if that's the best way to study for it.

[@ellaefendi99]

Im watching this because soon going to be OB nurse😊😊

[@kaylahoward4675]

You should definitely sell your notes! I’d totally buy!

[@alextaylarhash7314]

Hey girl! Where did you get that awesome white nursing watch??? Btw, love your vids :)

[@brookejeffries2400]

I enjoyed this video!! Thank you for the tips.. did you by chance have to take the teas test or any entrance exam for your program? I would love if you would do a video on that if you did 💗💗

[@bellehpham7742]

Hey girly, I love you so much ❤ Do you have any video on how to study for ICU? I'm going to ICU and I'm excited about it but also want to know what to expect and how to study for it.

[@Jacq28]

Is there anything you did before you went to nursing school to prepare?

[@veronicareebel1239]

My program leaves OB for (almost) very last... we leave med-surg for its own entire year and then cover OB and Peds together in a single semester. Disappointing because OB or peds is where I want to be!

[@laurenelizabeth7525]

Hey! Thanks for the upload! Not sure if you mentioned this or not, but does your program cover OB and peds together over the whole traditional semester timeframe, or do y'all split the two classes up inside of one semester? Just wondering bc that it is what my program does, and I'm super nervous!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

They go HAND IN HAND in the same semester:) If that answers your question I hope!

[@laurenelizabeth7525]

Holley Rojek yes ma'am! Like I said, ours are crammed in 6 week intervals. I will have to power through it. Good luck to you!

[@sammiels12]

Why on earth would a school structure their program like that? In my adn program our classes are 4 weeks long and only do one specialty at a time. For example we have 8 weeks total for each specialty so two 4 week classes for each rotation along with the clinical for that rotation, our order after the first 8 weeks is fundatmentals>med surg 1> psych>ob> med surg 2> pediatrics> and our last 8 weeks is med surg 3, all of the rotations have clinical one day week with 2 days of 2-3 hour lectures except for med surg classes which has 2 days of clinical a week with 2 days of lecture.

[@aissata8663]

Did you have a class on Psych nursing? Thats what i want to do ❤️ Love you xx

[@xxrosaxx1000]

Thank you so much for video!

[@nellabamba7104]

I loved the video but I’m confused I’m applying for collages but what major do I choose to be an Obgyn nurse would it be nursing or biology?💔

[@brendagracianorn8697]

I haven't had OB yet and I'm kind of nervous for it. I have had my heart set on being a labor and delivery nurse and I feel like that class might burst my bubble.

[@jocelynheredia-garcia9891]

im taking OB in november .... kinda scared bc i also heard that is challenging and peds med surg (horrible class lol so hard for me glad im done)

[@shan1368]

Notification gang gang😘👌🤗💃🙌😁

[@adamwilliams5366]

Hey girl, I love your videos! I’m a senior in high school and I’m currently taking a cna course that runs through my school division. I want to be an rn and I will be going to community college next year to take my prerequisites and then I will apply for nursing school. Do you have any tips for someone applying in to nursing school? Im extremely nervous I won’t get in because it is so competitive. Thank you, and keep up with the great videos!:)

[@adamwilliams5366]

Stephanie Rae Yeah I was warned about that. I toured a few colleges and was told by the admission officers of the school that community college was a better choice to start out at. They said that many people apply to their colleges get in, start taking prerequisites, and then when it comes to applying for nursing school, they don’t get in. I was super disappointed to hear that because that was my top school choice so I am kind of worried about not getting in after cc.

[@adamwilliams5366]

Stephanie Rae What would be a good GPA for getting into nursing school?

[@adamwilliams5366]

Stephanie Rae okay, thank you for your help!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

I have tons of tips in my pre-nursing student video! I recommend community college honestly, if you complete what you need and have the grades, it won't be horribly hard! You'll get in somewhere:)

[@HolleyGabrielle]

ALSO: THIS IS HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED when it comes to schools! My school wanted a 3.0 minimum, competitive was like a 3.5. I did NOT have that and got in my first try. GRIND HARD. YOU CAN AND WILL!

[@keaccor5132]

What about care plans for OB?

[@camrendelone4347]

What school do you attend ?

[@melissamadorma4989]

I start OB and Peds in august. We only have 7 weeks, 5 clinical for OB. Then we swap for med surg 2, and get pulled for on Peds one week. 16 weeks and 3 courses! It will be crazy! Does your program off to sit for the LPN midway? We can sit in the spring after semester 2.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Not sure what sitting means..? Sorry :( lol

[@melissamadorma4989]

Holley Rojek sit for the exam- sorry

[@7631Emma]

OB clinical was my worst experience with the nurses. :(

[@7631Emma]

I just finished my 8 week "semester" of ob&peds yesterday. I passed, luckily for the next adn class they will have changed the curriculum because this 8 weeks was killer..

[@shelbiee-97]

I’m really thinking I wanna do neuro , I’m not even in nursing yet but I feel like I just know

[@tessataylor822]

What school did you go to!?

[@Gabby41346]

Do you buy or rent your textbooks

[@HolleyGabrielle]

I personally rent!

[@taylormurrell1546]

My least favorite class so far in nursing school 😩 guess everyone has that one class they really disliked!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

This is very true! Some people in my class hated it and some loved it!

[@foujiyamulla8389]

Please make video on your note

[@richardwhyte7357]

I have my Maternity exam tomorrow. 🥴

[@alissabfisher]

Did it go well

[@richardwhyte7357]

Alissa Fisher yes it did, I passed the exam & passed the semester. 😁

[@alissabfisher]

Richard Whyte good job!!!
