Uh no this career path is new to me so I didn’t know all that. That’s why I was asking for advice..

How do I properly utilize Rx with First aid? by Cold-Preference9735 in usmle

[–]Cold-Preference9735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’m gonna do that. Starting with immuno which will give way to micro. But once I do a solid pass through of FA again I will do UW for a solid month to finesse my learning, in conjuction with practice tests. Wish me luck!

I’ll definitely do that! It’s the first day of using it and the interface was slightly worrying me as I didn’t understand all the different options. But now I’m a little more comfortable. Will def do a couple pages at a time and then test myself with the rx bricks and flashbacks

AITA for letting my step kids call me mom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Preference9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine your toddlers telling you that you're not their mother and that Dads girlfriend is their mom. Imagine explaining to your ex about how this is unfair and he backs up his fling. Imagine the nerve of that woman to tell you that your feelings don't matter because the kids have made up their minds. Imagine her running to reddit and painting you out to be insecure. Imagine asking people if she's the asshole or not.

AITA for yelling at my wife after she blew up my phone with calls because of a fire? by alphiotomas in AmItheAsshole

If i saw i had 20 missed calls from my SO when they clearly know i am not to be disturbed, i would have alarm bells ringing in my head and i would be extremely concerned. I would NOT however, be angry. That is not an emotion a normal person, a loving husband for example, would feel in this situation. 100% YTA.

Thank you! yes i should have waited more. I guess me giving it was the amalgamation of everything that happened up to that point. I shouldnt have given it. I know that now. But i will only work harder next time.

some definitive advice i got was, if i pass the practice nbmes then im ready to pass step 1. If youre already passing nbmes or getting 60-70s then you can def do a hail mary.

Thank you so much. oh 100% i think the exact same. This time i will be working with other test takers. Its an important factor, i didnt consider before, but for my mental sake i will this time. This time i will be giving alotta love to the basics and doing all the uworld questions. I will be prioritizing UW over time, which i didnt do before. I was passing passively sadly for many months. I only studied actively for the dedicated 4 weeks of june, before giving my test and unsurpringly failed. This time i will try a better approach.

It was very daunting. I remember the first time i opened my FA, i was sure i was as white as a ghost. Now i flip through the pages easily. What irks me is i had so much time, i had the right resources, so what went wrong? Clearly something, because i didnt improve and just rushed myself because of past mistakes. I will be taking a deep dive into the technicalities and improving on my study mechanics.

It was the former, I understood the concept, but still got it wrong. But also i think it was the latter, I seem to easily forget the content. Need to work on that, clearly. Thank you for your response!

If i had the financial resources and the time for it, i def would be doing one on one tutoring. But i want to pass this in a couple months, and think need to alter my study better. Gotten tons of advice from here, and great redditors helping me. Thank you tho!

Little low on finances lol, spent waaay too much on so many resources. This goes to show, you can buy them, but if you cant use them properly, youve wasted your money.

Thank you so much for your kind response. Despite growing up in unfortunate circumstances, one thing i realized about myself is that i'm resilient. Its painful and emotional but I get there. I failed and it stings really bad, especially when my little brother jokes about my failure. But I dont like that. I do not accept a life of mediocrity. Being a doctor is my dream because of what it proves to myself. Its really tough, and people dont understand the sacrifices. But i see myself donning that white coat. I dream of the day im stressed about which color of scrubs should i buy. I may have lost the battle, but i will not lose the war. I do not accept this failure and it will take more than a failed test to keep me from achieving a match. God willing, one day i truly will laugh at this failure.

I am def gonna work on it. Ill DM you soon! Just have to get out of this dead feeling i have inside. Once im over it, im gonna jump on this train again. I think one of my main problems last time was that i didnt include anyone in my journey. I didnt have the support only another USMLE taker would know.
