All I want is to help people and to get enough sleep. Lately it seems like I’m succeeding at neither.

Versuch hier zu posten, um mich zu motivieren. Hi, ich bin im 4. vorklinischen Semester und lernen fällt mir schwer. Meine Klausuren sind die gesamte Vorklinik: Biochemie 2, Anatomie 2, PsychSoz (Statistik), Physiologie 1 (Zweitversuch).

Heute zu tun:

- Amboss Kapitel lesen (Taktiles System, Grundlagen Sensorik, Nozizeptives System)

- dazu Ankiphil

- kreuzen

- Anki Wiederholungen

- falls Zeit Anatomie ansehen (help es wird immer mehr )

Btw diese Minecraft playlists sind großartig (ignoriert die schlechte Bildqualität)

New grad diaries

I’ll admit I haven’t graduated yet, the definitive ranks and grades will be in next week if everything goes well (and it might not go well, the administration already failed once at it). But it doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter because I’m done, I know I’m graduating, I earned the right to prescribe right now the only thing that’s left is for the website to publish the results.

That being said I’m now in limbo, I’m not a student anymore but I’m not a resident yet either. And after getting back from my first vacation since October everything now feels weird. Especially since I started working again.

My current position is « standing in as a resident » nicknamed « baby resident » by the actual residents. It’s another limbo, don’t get me wrong I really like it but it’s a very big change to adapt to. Suddenly I have a student and I’m supposed to teach stuff to her, I was the student less than three months ago. Suddenly nurses come to me with a problem and they expect a solution. Suddenly I’m the one talking with families and other colleagues to make a treatment plan. Like what ? Oh and I’m controlling the prescriptions, I did an epilepsy treatment switch this week. It’s unreal.

So yeah graduating, it’s even scarier than finals week.

When you’re a resident getting yelled at by another team or patient about a decision your attending made, that you have to go explain

Or better yet, getting yelled at for a plan that you expressed reservations about 🥲

[whitecoatblackmarket]

When you don’t have even a moment to sit down or rest for an entire 26 hour shift 🥲

Having to manage the emotions of male attendings as a senior resident 😑

I understand you are tired and are having some big feelings today in the OR…but stop taking it out on me or everyone around us.

I stg when I’m a chief resident I’m just going to outright start gentle parenting every attending who gets unnecessarily testy with me 😂

Me, a surgery senior resident, when someone outside of medicine tries to tell me what to do

The evolution from nerdy premed girl to senior surgery resident is fascinating.
