6.28 the MCAT? taking over MY life? more likely than you think!

Hey! I love what you do! My parents and grandparents , all of them are doctors and I wanna be like them, but I get like an A2 in science (it goes from A1 then A2 then B1 and so on)and a B1 in maths (mostly), my marks say I'm not made for science but for a businessman or something. What should I do?I have always dreamt of wearing scrubs and doing residencies(hospital work) and daignose patients. P.s- I'm in ninth grade and here in India we choose the science or commerce stream in 11th

Hello :) Your grades shouldn’t “tell you what are you made for”. You should be honest to yourself and think “why are my grades in maths lower?” - maybe it’s because it demands more effort? Maybe you just study too little? It needs more time? I think you can be capable of fighting for your dreams - you only need to put more effort and love into it! You still have 2 more years to decide and then I’m sure you still will have a lot of time until you apply for a med university - a lot of time to improve. You can also ask your family for advice, they surely know how to help you. :)

You’re allowed to eat. You’re allowed to be lazy. You’re allowed to take breaks. You’re allowed to say no. You’re allowed to take care of yourself. You’re allowed to live for yourself.

Dealing with nursing situations:

NEW GRAD:

EXPERIENCED RN:

We learn to not sweat the small stuff.  We learn to pick our battles on the things that compromise our patients and our fellow healthcare workers. We learn to choose our words.  Be professional.  Be kind.  Be humble.  We learn to adapt and to accept the things we cannot change.  We learn that some things cannot be negotiated.  For those things, we go up the chain of command.  We learn that we are only in charge of the things that we do and we can only hope to influence those around us to do the same.  We learn that what is taught to us in school is not always translated into practice- even though it is always what we strive to do.  This is what we learn.  This is what experience looks like.

When you walk by your NPO patient's room and see them getting ready to take a bite of a burger

[nurse-x-ramblings]

They ask, why do nurses burn out? And we pause; we burn out in unexpected ways, and unexpected moments. We burn out from not being able to find an ABG kit at 2am in a supply closet, and we melt down where no one can see us. We burn out a thousand different ways that scream absurdity to anyone observing on the outside - but if you were to examine our hearts, souls and minds, the unspoken horrors that cause us to drop into a void, a sometimes reserved, seemingly uncaring, stoic state, the physical, emotional and psychological exhaustion of nuance that if we were to speak of wouldn’t be understood - so we burn out quietly over absurdities. We burn out over the small stuff, because if you ask us about the big stuff, it would cascade into infinity.

Just the Nurse

“It’s just the nurse” A statement I’ve heard more times than I can recall. A statement I vacillate between being utterly pissed off at; given some people take for granted what we do, take for granted how consistently we are the ones by their side and not seen - and a statement I’m also sometimes not offended at, pausing as I consider how perhaps we’re simply seen as a circle of trust.

Just the nurse who caught the baby’s heart murmur

Just the nurse who listened when everyone else walked out the door

Just the nurse who carefully cleaned parts of you when others shouted what’s that horrible smell in that room.

Just the nurse who had to call your annoyed provider 5 times just for them to come talk to you and answer your questions

Just the nurse who threw their back out from years and years of physical exertion with turning and positioning.

Just the nurse who contributes daily to interdisciplinary rounds, to discussions surrounding your care for the day

Just the nurse who advocates for quality of life discussions

Just the nurse who helped the baby docs when they were med students, when they were residents, when they were scared.

Just the nurse who continues to advocate and work collaboratively with your doctor so you get the kind of care our system so ardently resists.

Just the nurse who teaches the new mama how to hold, nurse and bathe their baby

Just the nurse who cared for you over and over, day after day, admission after admission for 12 hour shifts and made you their world

Just the nurse who fights hard for safe staffing ratios so you get the quality of care you deserve.

Just the nurse who stands their ground and tosses out anyone who interferes with your healing or recovery time.

Just the nurse who prayed for you when science no longer had any answers

Just the nurse who cares for you as you take your last breath

Just the nurse who comforts your family when they have nowhere to go with their grief.

Just the nurse who gently wraps you in a shroud and pauses quietly to keep you in their own memory and heart

Just the nurse who doesn’t demand you respect us, rather quietly asks that you don’t insult our presence.

Just the nurse, the highly educated bachelors, masters, and doctorate level prepared, certified nurses who worked hard to attain the scientific and evidence practice based knowledge that will help save your life.

Just the nurse who isn’t perfect, but works every day to learn more and perfect their care.

Just the nurse who goes home and cries for you.

Every other day, Every other week may in everyone’s eyes be about every other provider, but let today, let this week not be an insult; let it just simply be about the nurse.

Happy National Nurses Day, Happy National Nurses week - To “just” the nurses.

All I’ve done all day today was be in my room and do homework (not that I’ve finished or gone that far) as I watched netflix which is probably not a good idea due to the obvious distraction. 

[studentxnurse-blog]

Ugh

So later today we will be switching to another clinical hospital since it’s our 5th week in this course. And with my crappy luck, I have that professor I had last term that completely and utterly humiliated me. I do feel a bit more confident academically. But I already know that I will blank out just as every other time and look like a fool and she’ll chew me up again. 

I’m thinking of ways to avoid her. But who knows, clinical’s is going to suck for the next 4 weeks. I already know it.

( 0 3 . 0 6 . 1 7 ) 🎧 street dreams - zeebra 

yesterday i was feeling claustrophobic after two days at home so i went to my usual café and solved exams to prep for today’s exam.

june study challenge day 3: what keeps you motivated at the end of the school year? i feel like everyone, including me, struggles a lot with this. what motivates me most is (a) the idea of going back home soon (b) the study process itself, which distracts me from feeling sad or empty and, just like a good workout, feels rewarding when i’m done for the day.
