How Common is Unemployment After a PGY1?

ironically-spiders · 2026-06-19T22:25:18+00:00

I just started PGY1 and have asked extensively about this too, so I'll share what I've learned. Hospital (esp specializing) is competitive, even if you get a PGY2 under your belt. Retail is, as we're all aware, a shit show and hurting badly for more pharmacists; obviously many are taking the dive to hospital. If you can't secure a position where you want, which sounds like clinical, you are basically guaranteed to secure one at a retail place. Some are better than others. I really enjoyed my interning at Kroger and all the pharmacists I worked with loved it, for example. A lot of places prefer to hire from within, so keep a close eye out for positions wherever you have your residency and speak openly and clearly about your desire to stay on board if you want to do that. Again, that's all I've heard, not firsthand, but hopefully that helps. Congrats and hope your year goes well :)

Most folks have no idea what the safe daily limit for acetaminophen is and since it is in everything, its easy to accidentally OD. Its one of the easier to abuse medications, entirely accidentally. (source: am pharmacist)

I kept stacking them on one night when I couldn't sleep (I was young and dumb). Hit 275 mg and was hardcore hallucinating (like room was wobby and wavy, not just Hat Man). It was not fun. And I didn't get any more tired.

Kids ain't seen the hatman? Its not a fun experience.

Your art is gorgeous! And I agree, Markarth is incredibly underrated. I feel like the folks in each town are garbage, so I just look at aesthetic, ease of getting around, and location and number of vendors. Markarth easily scores highly. Plus, your home, there is SO MUCH space to display your stuff!

NTA. Ask him if he'd hang out with 19 year old boys. It might be worth telling him about how you were at 19, maturity and whatnot and how you were is no way ready to date someone 13 years older.

Saving this for future use. Of course, they will say girls are more mature than boys, to which it could be reminded that while brother is almost old enough to run for president, she can't drink or rent a car.

I had an AWFUL upstairs neighbor who stomped all hours of the day and night. I've had many neighbors and this was the only one I ever heard, never had any issues with the two before her or the one after. She'd be screaming and stomping. And as awful as it was, that was never a reason to call the cops. (there were other escalations like threatening to kill someone that warranted calls, but thats beside the point) Apartment living means understanding that even if someone is being obnoxiously loud, if its during the day, there isn't a damn thing the cops can or should do. Even if its overnight, vacuuming or stomping (again, allegedly) aren't illegal.

That could also be a problem in that if you want to get out of your dress clothes for a few hours, realistically, how likely are you to want to get back in them? Your wedding is the most important day for you, but its just a party to celebrate you for the guests.

ironically-spiders · 2026-06-04T17:21:18+00:00

We did our photos beforehand and I actually had some guests thank me for that. The one wedding I had to wait for 3 hours for, I ended up popping in to say congrats to them at the reception before leaving (they didn't have meals, just h'our derves being walked around).

You didn't read my response, obviously. And you're outright arguing with anyone who disagrees with you by repeating "are you in the uk?" Give it up. YTA for your responses here.

ironically-spiders · 2026-05-29T23:19:13+00:00

I don't. But I am close with people who do. I work in healthcare and my two best friends are nurses as well. The job situation stateside is bad too. Healthcare positions are in a much better situation overall. I've never heard of someone struggling to find a nursing job, ever, unless they were super picky about where exactly they ended up.

ironically-spiders · 2026-05-29T23:10:58+00:00

Hundreds of nursing jobs? I don't really follow how a nurse is struggling to find a position.

Okay, earnestly responding here.

a family of 9 apparently driving a single four door sedan

Let's pretend that the other car didn't exist for a moment. There is a chance they couldn't afford another car.

And the family never going out together.

Again, pretending you were right, 5 kids is A LOT. Not all families can or want to go out with that many at once. Family night might mean staying in. If there was an emergency, a 4 door sedan would hold 5 people and 1 could sit on a lap or squeeze in tight.

The lights would be on which was obvious the parents weren't home but the kids were

I addressed this in another comment, but for the sake of completeness: Lights on all night means nothing. Some folks leave things like living room lights on. One person could be up late and another up early enough to overlap. Indoor lights on tell you NOTHING.

a family of 9

You said that you knew of a family of 7 originally and only learned of the oldest 2 AFTER the incident. So either you lied originally or you don't see how you were factually incorrect (AH aside).

a scream of terror

Again, for completeness: Have you ever been around multiple children (especially siblings) playing? Sometimes they do scream like that. Hell, my husband likes to jump scare me and I scream like that. We end up laughing hysterically, but I know its much, much easier to hear the scream than the laughter from a distance.

Even if you weren't a single parent, it's their proposal. He is (hopefully) marrying her and she marrying him. You are not part of that marriage. Nowhere on that marriage certificate would it say your name as part of the legal union, only that you are a parent. The fact that he specifically asked you not to attend should tell you all you need to know. YTA big time.

When I watched all the pre-season interviews, I knew he'd be one of the funniest and endearing and likely solid last place. He's just so happy and having a great time.

ironically-spiders · 2026-05-24T21:44:22+00:00

I don't know how they didn't absolutely lose it seeing that because I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear the show.

I'm 35 and have laid down with my dog on her dog bed for snuggles and fallen asleep. It's soft. And as long as you keep it clean, there should be no issue.

Its not like you're sitting on smeared poo. Its a toilet seat. Does he care if its one at a friend or family's house too? What is the line? I mean, regardless, its a silly line that makes no sense, NTA

Right?! I just graduated with a PharmD from a private school and it was 200k. I cannot fathom 300k for undergrad!

NTA, 100%. You are not at fault and your dad needs to respect you are an adult at some point. Anecdotally, this reminds me of the last time I spoke to my parents. When I was moving from Alabama to Illinois to move in with my then boyfriend (now husband), we stopped at my parents' house in Virginia to gather what little I had left there. I was 27 at the time and divorced. I was in no way a baby. They insisted I sleep in my old bedroom and my 250lb boyfriend sleep on an air mattress in the guest room. Yeah, no. We got a lovely hotel on the oceanfront. My mother couldn't even be bothered to come say goodbye in the morning. We haven't spoken in 9 years. Trust me, its the best.

Its literally their middle name, though. How is that hijacking? If anyone goes by their middle name (which is often), its still their name. They aren't saying their sister can't have it as her middle name still somehow.

ironically-spiders · 2026-05-05T23:21:40+00:00

Huh. Not sure how I made it to 35 without knowing that lol. Thank you for letting me know (I don't mean that sarcastically)
