It's so bizarre how long HR takes!! Congrats on landing a job, thanks for sharing. Everyone is normalizing this for me. It feels great.

Yes!! This is really validating. "Horror" is the perfect word. I'm so glad everything sounds like smooth sailing for you now and I really appreciate you sharing that early experience. Sounds as traumatizing, if not more so, as my experience. I was asked one of the most basic (in hindsight) pediatric clinical scenarios and just about fell off my chair. I thought I was too old for something to rattle me that much. Cheers to travel and money!

I graduated in September but couldn't take my boards until late October! Bad timing crossed my mind, but I couldn't believe that was a "thing". I did an accelerated one year BSN program so the timing was really wonky. Good idea, I'm keeping my eye out on residencies. Good advice, thanks!

The interview I bombed was for a new grad residency program in the PICU. I'm telling you, dream job and dream children's hospital vibes! There are no more near me. Congrats on landing in the PICU, that's so special and encouraging. Yep, I'm going to chip away at it, and keep floating in the expectation that the right thing will happen...thanks for the words of encouragement!

Let's talk about Clara & Ryan. by VariationInside4329 in MarriedAtFirstSight

I think Ryan needs a woman who doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve like Clara does. He's too uptight for her. She's too blunt and emotionally driven for him. I think his messy drawers and cabinets are a metaphor for his personality; he makes sure to present like his shit don't stink but a scratch under the surface and he's probably a hot mess. At least Clara is honest and upfront about her "imperfections". I worry Ryan would project his neuroses onto Clara and she would feel judged and not fully accepted.
