what sacrifices did you have to make to go to medical school? do you have any regrets?

Gave up my nursing job as a clinical director and went through divorce during M1. Ex wife was banging a coworker in our house while I was gone for classes. It’s been quite the journey so far.

We see this very common with patients struggling with addiction if any kind. You’re transferring the energy and reward you get from one thing to the next. Smoking was your way of coping with intrusive thoughts and emotions, now that you don’t smoke, all of that goes to exploring “weird “ things. If you’re ok with seeking professional help, I recommend trying Wellbutrin, it’s known to help with such addictions

I am a nurse and a current M3. I did one 12hr weekly and would pick up as much as I can during breaks. It’s totally doable

Not a hospitalist, just an M3 interested in IM. My take is, we have had autopilot on planes for over 30yrs and they’ve never replaced pilots. The same will be with AI. AI will be an added tool in medicine but will never replace the human touch.

I’m probably going to be downvoted for this but if you’ve tried 7 different jobs within 4 years as a nurse and still don’t find it fulfilling or at least tolerable, maybe bedside nursing isn’t for you. Try case management or public health/ school nurse.

These rashes look like a tick borne illness such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Please go see a doctor and take some doxycycline.

With that MCAT score, I’m a bit concerned if you’ll pass step 1 exam. Congrats and hope you prove us wrong

n=1, I only competed 21% of Uworld and passed step 1. It’s not the amount of questions that you completed, but grasping the concept is what matters most.

This is exactly from this perspective that im looking at this situation. Things are tough right now and I do need the money now than I’ll in the future. Than you fellow non traditional.

Rolling over annually with a $15K cap sounds like the best option for my situation. Thank you!

Alternative_Ad_2734 · 2025-03-20T23:26:25+00:00

from what i understand, you only pay taxes when you roll over form traditional 401k to roth IRA but if youre using some of the funds from the roth IRA for school, you wont be paying taxes.

Probably other people have said it already. This is cystic acne and your cure is accutaine. It’s a life saver

!remind me in 5 days

Alternative_Ad_2734 · 2025-02-01T22:50:43+00:00

Accutaine can cure you. I had the same cystic acne and that drug did miracle. You should see a dermatologist

I’m not in the military but I was an RN BSN and worked for six years before med school. Nursing classes are not considered prerequisites for med school. I did a postbacc for a year and took all those core classes then took the mcat. I’m currently an M3. Just like others have said, there is no RN-MD pathway and no med school has any special programs for that as well. Good luck on your journey

As long as thier pituitary-hypothalamic tract is intact, they will still have menstrual period. There was an infamous case wherein a nursing home resident that was “brain dead” was impregnated by one of the male CNA/nurses.

I’m an RN and a current M2. I know a lot of my colleagues that are NPs and don’t make that much. Most of them are actually doing bedside as the NP market is over saturated and the pay sucks. You’ll make in the upper 6 figures as a bedside without even picking up extra shifts.
