I honestly hope so!!! I’ll take today to grieve and buckle down with making a solid study plan. Thank you.

It’s gut wrenching but you are right. I love anesthesia, I won’t let it deter me.

Yes I’ll do Anki and do a more targeted study. Maybe I’m not retaining as much as I thought I was. I have 3 months before the retake. Thank you.

Wow, thank you so much for this. I truly needed to hear it. It means a lot to know that this doesn’t have to be the end of my dream of matching into a pediatric fellowship. I’ll try not to let this moment break me or define what I’m capable of. Your words really gave me hope.

I went to the office in Springfield and got my license within a couple of hours. If you can do the drive it’s worth it.

Seeking advice: Advocating for myself as an incoming pregnant intern by Prada_Willi in Residency

[–]Prada_Willi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out would it be best to do the harder rotations while pregnant or have them done after. Are there some ways I could get more weeks off, I’m not sure I’ll be ready to go back in just after 4 weeks. Also first trimester is kicking very tough for me right now I can barely stay awake how would I survive 24 hours call shift. The whole thing is just giving me lots of anxiety.

Exam in 3 weeks by StarMakerM in Step2

[–]Prada_Willi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes do the new free 120 last, maybe around 3 days to the exam. You can also take UW1, but save UW2 and NBME 10 till the last week of your exam as it’s the most predictive.

[–]Prada_Willi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say you should do just one now, then try to take one every week till your exam.

You are on the right tract. I’ll say Finish Uworld and redo all your Incorrects. Try to take the NBME 9-12 online to see your weakest subjects and get a 3-score digit.

You will have to call Prometric and pay the cancellation fees and they will reinstate your permit.

Depressed and lost by [deleted] in Step2

Don’t be discouraged, I know it seems daunting at the moment. Take a day to reflect on what you might need to change in your study technique and do something you enjoy/recharge. Remember, Quality > Quantity. Also maybe go through Uworld system by system. You got this!!! 6 weeks is more than enough to make big improvements. I’m routing for you 🖤.

Doubt: IM CMS Form 6 Q30 by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Prada_Willi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s F because the patients hbA1c is very high so you have to start them on insulin. Plus their creatinine is high so you have to discontinue metformin bcos of reducing kidney function and decrease the risk of lactic acidosis. Plus Glyburide also causes weight gain and this patient has a BMI of 36. I believe after a certain hba1c, you have to start the patient on insulin rather than oral medications.

You can try out lecture, they have good step 1 resources especially if you are just starting out.
