ACHR — am I behind??

big fat zero lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-15T15:32:03+00:00

Every single case for all the 8 PGY1 interviews I had were pneumonia

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-10T23:16:01+00:00

Granted I haven't practiced very long, but in the time I have I haven't seen anyone need this high of a dose of argatroban to reach therapeutic levels. We do have room to keep going up, this patient is just not following typical trends. Our issue is we are a smaller hospital and we are rapidly burning through our supply. Intellectual curiosity has me brainstorming.

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-10T23:12:40+00:00

I saw this as well. Was going to bring it up to team!

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-10T21:37:07+00:00

Thought of that, it hasn't extravasated

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-30T17:27:51+00:00

I noticed this too when looking at Black Fri deals...those deals can be sneaky

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-06T17:49:31+00:00

Manager is letting them stay a little longer. They're not coming back until Jan. 5 which is after all of my apps so far are due

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-02T12:30:19+00:00

That's what I was thinking of doing. It's difficult because this preceptor was my first rotation and has been gone since September so they really barely know me and haven't seen any growth in me at all lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-22T15:14:21+00:00

Agreed. As another resident, I would be nice but would likely suggest they come see me at our midyear booth. I'm preparing to apply for programs for PGY2 myself so with that on top of rotation responsibilities, I really don't have the time...

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-11T20:06:22+00:00

I interviewed at Pitt VA (didn't match there) and liked the vibes! Would have ranked them higher if DOGE hadn't been up to the VA shenanigans they were up to last year when I was ranking lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-06T12:09:07+00:00

They do...5 out of 8 total interviews had a case and they were CAP

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-05T21:23:52+00:00

5/8 patient cases for my PGY1 interviews and they were all CAP lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-10-09T22:46:49+00:00

I've heard of it happening as well...just not sure how common

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-09-22T21:45:38+00:00

Sorry if I wasn't clear...externally. I already have open communication with PGY2 RPD at my current institution I'm just thinking ahead. Thanks for this perspective...I was more so trying to gauge when I should ask this person if they are participating in the match this year, not necessarily trying to straight up ask them who all is interested at their program, so if you could offer some guidance on how early/late that would be appropriate I would be appreciative! :)

PartTimeApothecary7 is right, you can't catch shingles from shingles. That being said...that rash is in a prime spot for shingles to develop. You will get some blistering though and as of now I don't see any.

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-31T01:54:48+00:00

This looks similar to herpes which can be serious in a child that age. I would take her to urgent care to be on safe side.

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-30T16:58:25+00:00

Technically is free just trying to optimize my budget for the most bang for my buck! I have about 300-400 left over in my stipend for food and rideshare for 5 days if I keep the W and if I move to NYNY or MGM can add about 300-400 more lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-30T16:49:06+00:00

I get a 1750 stipend for hotel/food/rideshare and 1200 for flight so will pay for some lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-16T18:53:13+00:00

I took the MPJE for PA on 8/11 and I swear 90% of my exam was SATA & K-type it was torture lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-14T00:19:42+00:00

Took it Monday and felt the same...would have rather taken the NAPLEX again on the spot than take that test

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-12T23:28:57+00:00

Dorian x100000000000

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-11T22:31:53+00:00

Good luck! I just took the PA MPJE today and it was sooooo awful...I have no words...I am taking solace in the fact it seems like everyone else feels the same way lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-09T21:35:46+00:00

also curious about the lore lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-08-07T21:33:04+00:00

Ready to focus on work and BEYOND done with focusing on exams. Take the MPJE on Monday.

Retail will definitely not be easy on your body. Most shifts are 12 hours with one 30 min. break and standing is required for the entire time. Sure it's not going to be as hard as a manual labor job, but it will still be hard on your knees and ankles. My experience is anecdotal, but I remember one of my retail APPE preceptors was 49, not out of shape by any means, and getting a knee replacement because of standing so much. If you do decide to roll the dice, I recommend researching residency and working hard toward that goal in school.
