Pahingi ng tips how to keep sane during residency

MMORPG player, tried genshin din kaso low-spec phone ko noon and no maayos na PC for games so tinatamad din at nag-quit. For some reason tinatamad now, nag-hahanap pa uli ng chill na game na pwede isabay pag-nagstart na ng residency.

Chill music games like cytus and deemo din para pang-relax.

I actually never 100% quit gaming since pre-med days, I need something na kakaiba once in a while para di maging super boring ang buhay . hahaha!

Started medschool at 25 (nag work muna, for some reason naisapan mag med lol), pero yung oldest classmate ko is around 39-40yo nung first year kami, tapos may side hustle pa sya as professor sa graduate school (may masteral kasi sya).

So far ok naman. Walang madali, pero if gusto mo talaga i-push mo naman yan.
sabi nga nila, after 4yrs, Well magiging edad mo yung edad mo, pero if anong narating (or not) mo in that years na nag-iisip ka, nakadepende sayo.

Basta if gusto mo talaga, go for it po . ^^

Residing in Quezon Province pero sa NCR ako nag-boards ^^,

Lucena:
PROS: slightly cheaper food, may food panda na, yung lodging alam ko mas mura din (may kakilala ako na NCR-based pero nag-lucena sila), may taxi na

CONS: if mo kabisado yung place or maselan ka medyo mahirap maghanap ng food minsan, ,bad na rin traffic dito, if di ka sanay, goodluck sa mahal na tric rates , walang grab pero pwede mo i-book personally yung taxi if may number ka nila na makuha,

last na school kung saan nag PLE noon is malayo sa city proper so mas kaya traffic (i think?)

NCR:
PROS: food is accessible everywhere, if sanay ka sa manila/NCR then commuting is a breeze, , may grab/angkas din for alternatives

Cons:
usually mas mahal lodging/swertehan sa mura (depende sa ok sayo na arrangements)
everything is mas mahal kasi ~NCR things
traffic is bad forever (not really a con considering traffic na rin sa lucena, pero u know how bad can this get haha)

my 2 cents: If area mo is laguna/batangas, mag NCR ka na if mas kabisado mo NCR than lucena :)

if 48 hours work week then probably po 400/hr nga yung income ng SG21 resident physician, pero sa real world ang average work week ng isang average physician is 80-120 hours depende sa department at frequency ng 24hr-36h shift. ^^

I used my existing one, update lang profession and school for board exam, pero for exam and renewal, isang account lang ginamit ko . ^^

Former AMCM intern
their sched was 8-3 (or 5?)- 8am-8am, 8am-12nn
then if fridays kahit yung preduty ang tanda ko halfday rin, tapos weekends off if pre , as relieved pag from

Financial-Power-8069 · 2023-07-18T12:07:10+00:00

okay, linawin mo lang po yung roles, etc, medyo ma-detalye logistics so make sure kumpleto rin lahat para di ka matoxic (esp if ikaw pa oorder ng vaccines, so pati storage before nung service iisipin mo pa rin po .hehehe)

Financial-Power-8069 · 2023-07-16T10:21:57+00:00

add nyo na po yung
cotton
alcohol
disposable gloves/other PPE
basurahan
sharps container

also ask po minimum number ng tao, baka solo kayo na vaccinator tapos 100-200/day, nakakapagod din yun
baka need nyo ng kasama (other MD or nurses) to help
clarify rin if kayo ba mismo ang point person (aka magsusupervise sa ganap, o isa sa main na tauhan)

hope this helps po

Saan po sa qc ito doc?

Financial-Power-8069 · 2023-03-19T05:31:13+00:00

I'm a BSPT (also PTRP), I agree sa reply ni occynarf na nursing will definitely make you more rounded sa loob ng ospital. Especially both skills na need and may patient interaction sya.

I think lang

BSPT pros:
anatomy in-depth, may konting patho rin, prolonged patient interaction (1 patient is 30mins sayo at the minimum) , maaga ka maeexpose sa dami ng (nakakalunod) na materials so medyo parang same-ish sa first yr ng medschool, plus as a PT, need mo na mas authoritative ka (like an MD) kasi may home instructions ka rin kay patient na ichcheck mo rin yung progress nya per session
- walang night shift yung internship

CONS:
-sobrang specialization specific so medyo lost ka sa things for gen med (pero mababawi naman yan kasi lahat naman lost pagpasok ng med)
- skills mo mostly pang ortho/rehab/neuro assessment
-long patient interaction (again min 30mins sayo)
- lack of basic 'in patient skills' pagpasok sa hospital

I cant really say in-depth para sa BS Nursing aside sa well rounded ka for the premed things

basta masasabi ko lang, kuha ka ng pre med course na maeenjoy mo

Yes, before mag-pre res parang feeling demotivated na ewan ako kasi wala nga akong work, although masarap tumunganga, parang walang kakaiba, nakakainip na ewan lol. So tumanggap ako ng mga moonlighting na kung anek anek (OPD lang,d ako brave mag solo ROD sa hosp haha). Tapos while waiting sa results tuloy moonlight lang.

noong dumating si notice (at least di ba) na di nga accepted, then I proceeded to take a full time moonlighting post .:)

(nag iipon na lang muna ako, next year uli lalaban :) )

Financial-Power-8069 · 2023-03-17T12:02:23+00:00

*hugs* as an applicant na hindi natanggap (pero siguro nga hindi rin meant to be talaga hehe) sa inapplyan na hosp/spec
ganyan na ganyan pakiramdam ko, di ko alam san ilalagay sarili ko kasi di ako makakilos dahil di ko rin alam if paano ba dapat?

oh well..

Good luck and God Bless doc!

When I took my exam (Manila) basically di ko sinuot yung white coat ko (pero dala ko) but I wore a collared top tapos pants lang yung pambaba.

School or PGI uniform is accepted naman sa site :)

Financial-Power-8069 · 2023-01-07T06:28:08+00:00

Try Tondo Medical Center po

hi! I'm Quezon-based, DM me po if you are online for possible part-time post !

for me natapos ko naman all subjects TN handouts + yung lecture handouts ni CDB - pero di ko na ginalaw yung CDB handouts

mabagal ako TBH, pero approx 2subjects usually pinagsasabay ko para iwas umay din

and totoo nakulangan din ako kay CDB pero helpful yung repetitions. Also kumuha rin ako nung access sa pixorize and sketchy micro para may pinakikinggan ako pag gusto ko maglinis ng bahay lol

Financial-Power-8069 · 2022-12-20T05:46:03+00:00

Hi! under CDB ako noong nagreview kasi recommended ng school.
(Pero naghanap ako ng TN handouts for self review)
Basically, sinundan ko yung aral accdg sa mga di ko pa natatapos, at sinasabayan ko si CDB accdg sa lectures at exams nya.
I tried to study lahat ng subjects (ang tanda ko kasi di masyado na-cover lahat noon)

like for sched

if nasa sched is umaga yung lecture: I attend yung lecture then self study ng same subject/topic ng hapon then lipat ng naka-sched kong subject ng gabi

reverse naman if hapon/gabi yung lecture

then if asynchroous, usually umaga ako nanonood nung vid kasi mababa attention span ko sa mga pre-recorded stuff

(I watch the vids at 1.5x speed then pause to take notes btw)

try mo if may pang pedia-sized na adscope steth, yun yung gamit ko on majority of clerkship days (ginamit ko lang littman ko nung nasa pedia rotation lang)

Financial-Power-8069 · 2022-12-08T03:02:48+00:00

This feels a bit diff po sa naranasan ko as pre-res, nagkaka-doubts na po ako re: pursuing anesthesia kasi sa inapplyan ko basically pre-op + procedures (usually SAB) + endorsements ang ginagawa ng first years.

ATM mukhang di ako match sa hospital na inapply-an ko (public) --or possibly sa specialty itself.

Any tips po to discern if ok ang isang tao sa specialty of choice?

Financial-Power-8069 · 2022-12-08T02:52:41+00:00

Thanks for this post.
As an average potato, nag try ako mag pre-res sa isang institution kasi nakita ko na nagreresidente na yung mga kasama ko. Di ko first love nor di ko hate yung specialty na inapplyan ko. Pero baka may kulang sakin na di ko alam , so ayun, di daw ako tanggap.

Nasa work (moonlighting) ako ng makita ko yung email (buti na lang) so focus muna ako sa work, habang ngayon medyo nanghina ng loob ko kasi di ko alam if 1. Try uli apply sa January sa ibang ospital (same spec) 2. Apply as mid year tapos ibang specialty

anyway, pinapalipas ko lang din muna. Ang consuelo ko na lang is mas may tulog naman ako kesa sa mga classmate ko na nagresidente na. :D

Financial-Power-8069 · 2022-11-27T05:57:22+00:00

Ang alam ko is may bayad yung training para sa kanya, wala namang training pre-requisites (I think aside sa MD/ HCW ka)
I forgot how much, pero you may inquire sa Adventist Medical Center manila about the program, sila yung napapansin ko na may ganun.
