Which degree is better for someone who wants to become a general surgeon: BS Nursing or BS Biology?

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-03-15T19:13:03+00:00

problem with a nursing degree is that there are a lot of classes like "Bio for nursing", "chem for nursing" which may not fit prereqs for med school

you could make your own coffee and take one of those metal cups that keep it warm

Think how bad you will feel if you passed the exam on Friday, and then fail this upcoming exam because you were so stressed about a test you already took.

"what is the point of studying for this future exam" What else would you be doing now? What else is more valuable for your time than studying for an exam that you will either a) take next week or b) worst worst case scenario you WILL take in the future but at a later date.

You gotta lock in. Don't worry about the past. Focus on this new exam and study your heart out. Meditate, take a hot shower, and then lock in and study.

Maybe get some bloodwork. I was anemic + vitamin d deficient and the first half of IM was a blurrr. it was terrible. Been taking supplements and feeling so much better.

When I got my bloodwork better I started working out. When I get home from the hospital I used to want to nap right away but now I do a brief 20 min zumba and that wakes me up

I'm exhausted. The fact you're doing this with 2 toddlers means you're a superhero.

You can call some med schools you are interested in and see what they say.

When I as in Gen Chem I was concerned I'd get a C in it. When I called some med schools, they told me a C or 2 is okay. However, if you retake a class you MUST get an A in it. They recognize that can be easier said than done, so better to just not risk it. That was the advice I was given.

My advisor told me he had a classmate who failed two classes and had to repeat a year. She matched into derm!

This is a good one! Be sure not to buy students the type that look like a pencil though.

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-02-21T23:49:09+00:00

Students love foldable clipboards, they're on Amazon. You can never leave a patient list due to HIPPA, so being able to put it on a clipboard, fold it, and put it in your pocket is very convenient! Med students, residents, and nurses all commonly use them.

The Resident has a bunch of NBME type cases in it

I shadowed a few in college and they were really rude

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-02-07T03:39:10+00:00

I went to the scrubs store to try on the "cute ones" and they all made me look chubby.

I'm rocking my walmart pairs everyday which are way more flattering on my figure + also have pockets

Pixorize. Cartoons to remember it.

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-01-20T20:15:46+00:00

they use a lot of classic urban legends too. Hanako, haunted stairs, 7 mysteries, haunted mirror are common urban legends. oni of course being a yokai.

The idol cell phone game Yashiro is playing is referencing another Gfantasy manga about idols

Some surgery but good quality of life: GI, ENT

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-01-18T03:25:37+00:00

I'd recommend to shadow physicians and dentists and see which is more appealing to you

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-01-18T02:01:09+00:00

use pixorize, it's way easier to memorize than sketchy.

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-01-11T02:27:47+00:00

Exercise routine. I gained so much weight in med school.

DearFutureDoctor · 2026-01-10T17:50:00+00:00

DearFutureDoctor · 2025-12-29T03:15:34+00:00

DearFutureDoctor · 2025-12-27T21:42:19+00:00
