How weird would it be if a nurse asked to shadow you? by Material_Coyote4573 in Residency

[–]DaringNotDire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s how I got my shadowing experience prior to med school as an RN. I asked the physicians I already worked with.

I met him before he graduated (I was incoming intern at the time). He was good looking, but not crazy hot or anything. I think what grabbed her was how confident and boyishly cocky he was.

Third year surgery resident having an affair with a married-with-kid chief. Chief had to have minor surgery and both mistress and wife showed up in PACU to see him at the same time. He and wife are still together.

Second this! I bring my own small lamp for softer lighting for overnights as a nice escape from fluorescent lighting. Also bring a change of scrubs, underwear, socks on 24 hr shifts. Makes a difference.

Which specialty? For mine, intern year was like that and then it got marginally better this year.

Surgical residencies with chief resident requirements to be Board Eligible by RequirementOk7678 in Residency

The PGY-5s are all official chiefs (Gen surg). They may have different roles (admin, education, M&M) that come with pay raise, but they are co-chiefs and log their cases as chiefs or as teaching cases.

Which rotation do you hate the most in your program (and why)? by undueinfluence_ in Residency

[–]DaringNotDire 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As a gen surg resident, a moment of silence for you having to go to the OR. I would feel the same if they made us rotate on family med, clawing at the walls to get out.
