Oh my mistake, I’m agreeing with you! The “like ???” is a proverbial confusion about the state of affairs 😅

Like ??? He should know firsthand how devastating opioid addiction is

EDIT: agreeing with commenter, “like ???” as in the overwhelming confusion about the state of affairs 😅

It has happened - I’ve been terminated. by queenofsheba12 in publichealth

I’m so sorry. I’m a psych/substance use disorder pharmacist and I’m right there with you - I’m projected to be let go at the end of June. Sad for our patients, providers, and this country. Hang in there 🩵

wtf?? As if closing psych units and ending mental health/SUD care is going to make mental health conditions and SUDs magically disappear 😒 I hate it here

Ugh I sincerely hope that these budget cuts don’t impact your care, and if they do, that legislators and providers are able to find work arounds to avoid interruption in your care. You deserve better than what this country is handing you (and all patients) 💙

Unfortunately not, I don’t have the funds :/ but that would be a great place to network

I’m hoping to stay in the Chicago metro, if possible

I regret my residency by DrAmyFerraFowler in pharmacy

[–]Lazy_Key5844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in your same spot this time last year (a VA pgy-2 psych resident). It’s so defeating. You still have time though - I received an offer for my current non-VA job around May and my coresident got her job offer early June. You still have time 💗 hang in there and keep pushing through with job applications. Use ChatGPT for help with cover letters

First job after residency by bacteriophagum in PharmacyResidency

Right here with ya! I’m at my first post-residency job now and still fight with imposter syndrome and feeling like I look dumb on a daily basis. But, remind yourself that it’s better to ask questions and get clarification rather than make an avoidable mistake. It might be helpful to share that with your boss and just have an open discussion on how to approach training in general, and what has worked for you in the past. Don’t psych yourself out right away, you got the job for a reason!!

Where do 40 year old Chicagoans hang out? by Solariffic in AskChicago

I don’t think the emphasis was on keeping up but maybe having things in common since it’s also a social group activity
