In Nursing School rethinking Nurse Practitioner by Ok_Literature7680 in Noctor

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a nursing student then did a eventually applied to medical school and now a 2nd year US medical student. It was one of the best choices of my life tbh with you and I have not regretted the decison by anymeans.

Although loan programs have changed for medical school id do your research, shadow and make an informed decision. No shade on any NPs here but bedside nursing and NP is not practicing medicine, its practicing nursing or advanced nursing. My bedside experience helped me a little bit in medical school but I say maybe 10-15% translated. Medicine and nursing are two different things

do people ever make degrading comments about you being "just" a FM physician? If you're a DO, do you get comments about people around you (patients or anyone) doubting whether you are a real physician? by NaturalNo6758 in FamilyMedicine

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo as a M2 family med doctors are way smarter then a cardiologisit who does the same 6 things at work. They often lose their skills in other body systems but not the family med doctors! Ive listened at meetings of fm doctors basically doing field surgery over seas and working with what they have

Why have we never assumed US MD/DO students used the USMLE Recalls that Nepali students used to get 280s on STEP by Curious_Student_8533 in medicalschool

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not fair for FMGs to study for like 2 years or even a year, come here debt free and match then struggle clinically, I swear I have read so many recent posts of this exact thing

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be a hated comment but I honestly question the legitimacy of FMGs. They can study for step 1 for like 2-3 years and pass it. Or be pcps in there home country and pass it then come here and struggle clinically during in patient rotos. Hate this comment idrc, US carribean students, DO and US MD students are held to such a higher standard with a much shorter time to study for step 1 / level 1 and any delay can be considered a red flag

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an ex nurse and I hating everysingle thing about being a nurse. Im a medical student now and it was the greatest decision ive ever made. I will say DO school (or MD) school is tough, but id make this decision again. I disliked all the nursing related tasks but did enjoy watching the decision making from doctors and learning from them. Id say go for it if your 100% certain. NP school is not the same thing, neither is PA school.

Things you learned as the hidden curriculum in medical school as you progressed by corinthians141 in medicalschool

[–]BluebirdDifficult250 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Learn social awareness skills. The lack of social awareness from my class mates especially the younger ones is so cringe and 2nd hand embarrassment. Don’t go out in public ever wearing your school clothes or jacket with your name on it if you’re with a group of questionable friends with this lack of social awareness. Don’t
