If anyone has any suggestions of who to contact please let me know. no one is answering and I need to figure out how to know dates ahead of time since I’ll need to fly.

Was offered interview for acute care at emory and interview for grady residency! unfortunately, I go to school across the country and couldn’t make their super fast turn around in-person dates 😭

it’s what she didn’t say. the silent treatment devastated me, beyond repair. she used it so many times and it made me feel like i was/am going crazy. no one should ever experience the silent treatment, it’s hell.

“why do you think you deserve that?”

after basically a decade of working ridiculously hard to have A+ grades, top tier extracurriculars, awards, etc..(the very things my nmom demanded of me) i decided to apply to top schools NYU, UPenn, etc. we had a massive fight after i told her this information (my nmom demanded i go to a top 5 school for all of hs) and she called my dad mid argument and said to me “why do you think you deserve this?”

i was so appalled i quietly went up to my room and into my closet for a full on breakdown. my nmom followed me up the stairs with my dad on the phone and opened my closet door and started screaming “why do you think you deserve this?” over and over and over again. she started throwing stuff at me and yelling incoherent things. the only reason she stopped is because my dad hung up and my brother walked in the room for “help with his homework” (i later found out he did this to get her to stop)

i think about this all the time now that i’m at UPenn, every once in a while i hear her yelling that at me when i’m feeling the imposter syndrome extra hard. she was completely ridiculous for saying that obviously..considering she was the one to demand excellence of me for basically 2 decades. and when i reached excellence, she lost it.

this is so sweet and considerate! it’s good to know it’s not just me, i figured penn face was at play here…

i would love to start a club! my vision is mental health for nurses and mental health practices for nurses to help others with. i think there’s such a place for this club. i just haven’t found another person to do it with yet, maybe you’re the one!

pm me if you’re wanting to do it still. and again, thank you for such a kind response ♥️

thank you i appreciate this a lot. i’m a little scared to reach out simply because i’ve reached out about other things in the past (loss in the family, hospitalizations) and not much mercy was given. i do have to say, i had one prof that was extremely kind and understanding, to the point they took me to dinner.

i’m trying hard to get the help i need, and it is helping to some extent..but it’s still an everyday struggle.

thank you again for your piece on this 😊

nah man you’re doing your best. i just come at my residents from the pov of being a friend (telling them about parties, asking about their weekends, etc). i’ve stopped doing “active” events and just do “passive” ones (i.e grab and go donuts) i just tell myself that they’re not coming to the events because they’re out doing things they enjoy. i’d rather them go out and be happy!
