It's a brisk 29 degrees outside here in Utah, and I'm excited to have some events to invite you to during the last month of the semester!
First, clinical rounds. We have 3 sessions of clinical rounds scheduled--I hope you can make it to one or more of them!
This Wednesday, November 19th at 12:00 noon MST, Chylain Krivensky will be presenting a case on breastfeeding and hypoplastic breasts.
Two weeks later, on Wednesday, December 3 at 12:00 noon MST, Liz Stika will be presenting on Breech Birth, and the week after that (the last week of the semester), Nicki Pugh will present on Exercise in Pregnancy.
Make sure you have viewed the Ground Rules session before attending!
Second, if you missed the other live sessions this semester, I have good news for you! Two of them: Starting Your Clinical Placement and Preparing for Primary births, are now available as videos in the CLNC 100 Class Documents for you to download at your leisure. And the other two will be presented this month:
Clinical Orientation and Overview on Thursday, December 4 at 1:00 pm MST
and
Applying for the NARM Exam on Thursday, December 11 at 11:00 am MST
Remember that the Clinical Orientation is required for completing your first semester of CLNC 100!
Finally, for students in clinical placement, I have exciting news--we expect to have an electronic option for your end of semester evaluations available by the end of the semester. The old paper forms will still work, but you'll have the option to fill out your statement of clinical progress, self-evaluation and preceptor evaluations online. Watch for news in December!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving next week--I am grateful for each of you!
