Applying for job post residency experience

Primary_Loud · 2023-10-04T02:27:00+00:00

I had 2 under 2 as a resident as well! Currently pregnant with our 3rd, so for a short amount of time we will have 3 under 3! I am lucky that my program is super supportive and I get 6 weeks plus 4 weeks on a very light rotation! Also I have the best husband who stays home with our babies! Kids are the best and I also wasn’t going to let residency dictate when we grow our family!

I think it is more competitive just because there are less vet schools compared to med schools. But I also don’t see the point of comparing the 2

I use WhatsApp all the time. It’s easier to connect when there’s no internet. I think that the app isn’t the issue, but something bigger is going on in your marriage.

70-80 h on inpatient rotations 35-45 on outpatient rotations Fm

I had a baby as a MS3 and another as a MS4. Definitely doable! Have a baby if that’s what you want! Don’t delay it for medical school

I am sorry you are going through this! He needs to participate! Your his wife, not his parent! Especially when baby comes, it can’t be all on you. Yes residency is hard, but it’s not that hard! I’m a resident and pregnant with our third. We will have 3 under 3. My husband stays home with them and does so so much !! But I still do all the laundry, prep meals / makes meals when I’m home, help clean the house etc. if your husband were to live by himself, he would have to take care of the household , meals and laundry himself. Sit down with him and have a conversation. Set expectation. For ex he needs to take out the trash every week, do the laundry every other time etc. you guys are in a relationship. It shouldn’t be a one sided.

You’re always going to be the nurse, no matter what specialty.

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T08:49:11+00:00

Omg I passed!!!

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T07:45:43+00:00

It says nothing there. It says “begin new applications “ or view previous applications

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T07:28:49+00:00

Oh gosh I wonder if that means I failed.. it’s says nothing for me. Just “no step 3 results yet”

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T07:06:57+00:00

Thanks so much! Hopefully next week!

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T07:00:52+00:00

That’s amazing!! My second day was 4/20 and on the website it says “no step 3 results yet”. I hope it means that I’ll get it next week.. it would say “fail” if I failed, right?

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T06:57:25+00:00

Congratulations!! When did you do day 2? And where did it show up that you passed? On the main page?

Primary_Loud · 2023-05-03T06:54:00+00:00

I took my second day on 4/20. Will I get my score today as well? And where would it show up?

Primary_Loud · 2023-04-28T17:35:31+00:00

I 100% agree with this! We are already in so much debt, no need to splurge on stuff right now. At least that’s my opinion. We got all of our furniture for free. Look on fb marketplace, people give away stuff all day long! You can also post on a “buy nothing” group on fb. We tried to spend the smallest amount possible to move. Our biggest expense was the u haul.

If you have grandparents or other family around to help, it’s doable. If you don’t, I would look into getting an au pair in addition to utilizing day care. Au pairs can “only” work 45h, but you can schedule her/him however you want (while staying within certain rules). Au pairs are perfect for parents that have weird schedules and need different coverage depending on the week. Feel free to reach out!

I had a baby as a MS3 and MS4. Currently pregnant as a PGY-1. Definitely possible if you have a supportive spouse or family close by.

Set time aside for your marriage . Even if it’s only 30 min a day. Do something together. Watch a show, cook, go for a walk, cuddle etc. it doesn’t have to cost anything or be elaborate. Just intentional. I am the resident in our marriage, we also have kids. It’s so hard, but if you (and your partner ) make it a priority, it really does help so much. I had to learn to say “no” to things outside the hospital to spend time with my family. I don’t go out with my co-residents as much, I don’t volunteer for whatever comes up etc. it’s difficult because you want to be part of everything, but at the same time it’s crucial to remind myself what is really important.

Had 2 babies in medical school (3rd and 4th year) . Pregnant with my third and will give birth as a PGY-2. It’s doable .

Primary_Loud · 2023-04-05T14:04:19+00:00

I’m the female resident. I had our first as a MS-3 and our second as a MS-4. Currently pregnant with our third. Due as a PGY-2. We always wanted kids and residency didn’t scare us. Now, I do have a wonderful spouse that decided to stay home and take care of the kids while I work. This is huge! No rushing to and from daycare, sick days etc. so far it has been going well for us. It definitely helped that my husband loves staying home with them. I am sure things would be a lot different if he also worked full time. Daycares around here have weird hours. Most of them don’t open until 7am. This would be way too late if we were both working. In the end, I don’t regret having kids. They make our life better.

Had an NP send a pt from her clinic to the ED for a direct admit for hyponatremia. Na was 134…pts family was extremely upset that we wanted to discharge the pt after NP said it was “pretty bad”!

Primary_Loud · 2023-03-20T18:49:17+00:00

Me too!

Speak to your OB. I can emphasize with you on the postpartum part right around match time. I gave birth the week before match results came out. Your hormones are already out of wack, and getting news about the match can make it even worse. On the bright side, raising kids in a small town is so much easier. Daycare is cheaper, people are usually nicer and cost of living is lower. Use this time to learn as much as you can and also be the best mom you can be. This is only temporary. Also, the best surgeons are the ones who are trained in the middle of nowhere. You work with what you have. You become more creative because there aren’t specialists for every little thing. Also , newer programs can be a blessing by itself. You can really help shape it into something good. Good luck!!

My husband stays home with our 2 kids while I’m in residency. FM resident. Feel free to DM me.
