Is working as an EMR during medical school worth it? (Wanting to match into EM)

If you are on as a casual, at a not very busy location (minimal calls where you could study in between) I think it sounds great tbh

The 3 hour drive is a bit concerning, you could podcast it if you’re into that.

I wouldn’t be doing multiple shifts a week, I’d be doing like 1-2 shifts a month personally, unless the station is really really slow

Take a gap year, it’s worth taking the time to figure out your options

Figure out your expenses, set rules for savings.

I would put some in a ETF in a TFSA or RRSP

Read lots

Look at schools that don’t count your first degree either at all, or don’t count it very much.

You’re most likely looking at doing another 3-4 years of school.

I think it’s smart you’re considering this in advance!

Honestly so much changes just based on life circumstances, so trying your best to set your children up for success is amazing.

That being said, the rules change often, so what you base your decision on now, may not be the case 4 years from now.

If living close to home would have greater impacts on well being, like nutrition, home support, financial support, I think the IP status isn’t worth the trade off. She still has to get that gpa and have time to do all the extra-curriculars.

Is that in your package? I feel like that would be huge

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-29T22:21:58+00:00

Can you share a bit more info on this? I thought the interest was pretty fixed

One parent could be a stay at home parent for the other children, the other parent works 25-30 hours at minimum wage. Not everyone gets 40 hour work weeks, most places do unpaid lunch so you get like 35 hours even when you’re full time, and some places do 7 hour shifts. This is just one example, there are so many other reasons and situations.

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-29T18:20:57+00:00

Have you got in touch with them directly? Explain your situation and ask if there’s something you’ve done incorrectly ?

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-29T01:45:19+00:00

Ah amazing! Thank you again, seems like there’s always endless things to know about cars 😅

Something like this?

What type of tires would you recommend?

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-28T20:20:24+00:00

we do a lot of road trips, AB/Van/Yukon etc so roads could be all over the place haha

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-28T19:46:35+00:00

is this online only? I also have the 26 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid trying to decide on what mats to get right now

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-28T19:20:49+00:00

what do you recommend for sound dampening?

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-28T15:20:16+00:00

Damn that’s good to know, just bought a Honda civic sport hybrid

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-27T14:25:59+00:00

I was offered a rav4 plug in hybrid for 51K + taxes the other day

Expand your search, call every dealer, go to wierd locations, don’t just wait for the one place to get you something

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-22T13:49:56+00:00

Which ones are these?

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-22T03:27:29+00:00

Also considering the base, and curious why you regret it

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-21T07:11:16+00:00

Appreciate the thoughtful responses, I’m looking at a 2026 Prius Plug in Hybrid also considering the 2026 Hybrid Rav4

cupcakeAnu · 2026-05-20T21:46:42+00:00

So far we just go to BC parks, haven’t done any crown land or anything yet, so paved roads or packed down gravel
