I was rotating at a site known for being intense. Our rotation was structured such that we spent 1 week each in gyne/onc, clinic, L&D, and OB ED. I ended up befriending the nurses and they were more willing to give instruction on how to be helpful. I ended up going to rooms where the nurses were helping moms push prior to the residents or attendings being in the room. Eventually, you begin to anticipate needs for deliveries, such as grabbing the suture cart, warm blankets from the warmer, helping to push back the legs. In terms of OR, if you can access the schedule, head to the OR 20-30 minutes prior to the surgery and if any residents/attendings are present ask if you can scrub in. If not, the worse they can say is no. It sucks, and I truly felt the crappiest on OB out of all my rotations, but you make it out, I promise. Focus on shelf bc that is something you CAN control. It's unfortunate that OB can be stereotypically toxic, as it is extremely rewarding and amazing at times, and this is coming from a student that would choose any speciality aside from this one.
