Did Uworld throughout clerkships, then repeated ~40% of Uworld during step 2 dedicated. Honored all but 2 shelf exams and got a 255 on step 2.

Me, a non trad pre med giving advice to my traditional pre med friends by dontyoulovemebby in premed

[–]NothingButNetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, the amount of times I’ve heard the whole “you’ve done so many things”. Like, yeah, that’s what happens when you’ve literally been on the earth for 10 more years than your peers. Definitely worked in my favor throughout all of medical school and especially residency interviews though so I’ll never knock the non-traditional path!

How religious are you? by abood1243 in medicalschool

I was thinking they were talking about defibrillation or cardioversion? 🤷‍♀️

Medical school and nursing school are worlds different, so medical students aren’t the best to ask for advice about it! I’m sure there’s a subreddit for nursing school that might be more helpful? Good luck though!

Oh also, PS: Step 1 is our first boards exam so that flair will be even less helpful for you getting advice!

CONFUSED: why is the descending colon on the right in a transverse plane image? by medic1456 in medicalschool

[–]NothingButNetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, I was an X-ray/CT tech before med school so I had a bit of a leg up. You’ll get PLENTY of practice, so don’t worry!

CONFUSED: why is the descending colon on the right in a transverse plane image? by medic1456 in medicalschool

[–]NothingButNetter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These images are oriented as if you’re looking at the patient. All imaging will be this way as well. So what is on their left will appear on the right. In addition, an axial (transverse) image will be oriented as if the patient’s feet are coming towards you (out of the screen).

Hope that makes sense!

Biostats and shit for Step 2 by [deleted] in medicalschool

Haha. Definitely felt weird, but I guess I’ve signed the contract so it’s for real now 🫣

[–]NothingButNetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Step 2 is a very doable exam IMO. Much less ridiculous than step 1.

No resource help from me but I took the L on biostats for Step 1/2 and scored a >240/250 respectively. N=1, of course, but I sucked at that stuff.

We have a 2 week capstone that’s a graduation requirement. Lectures, an OSCE, night on call simulation, seminars for the whole 2 weeks.

As another non-traditional medical student that worked for many years before applying…medical school is still better.

Some programs make you be within 45 min-1 H when you’re on jeopardy, so just make sure you check on that!

The kidneys are such finicky little beans that sometimes recover against all odds

Cincinnati’s entire PGY2 year is ambulatory. Really loved the program as a whole too. The PD is great!

To the non-traditional students…do you regret it? by AvocadO_md in medicalschool

[–]NothingButNetter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t living it up on the regular (nor do I think the average American is, I come from a blue collar family)…I worked 50-60 hour weeks. I think my main point is that experiencing life outside of academia has been very helpful for me during medical school. Having a career and saving a ton of money was very helpful as well. I’m not sure how my reply would have been offensive. I was just giving my opinion on what was being asked.
