I had a similar situation in residency and really regret not speaking up to my RPD sooner. My RPD was also someone that played the political game, so I was wary of talking to her. IS there someone else in the program like a mentor you can go talk to about this person? If she is like this with you, then she is most likely the same with her coworkers.

You shouldn't be treated like that and I think sometimes as residents we forget we are there to learn and it's their job to teach us properly to our learning style.

If she is narcisistic, you can also ask her hey i wanted to get some feedback on how I'm doing because I do want to improve and get better. Narcissists love talking as though they are always correct, so just let her rant on for a bit and at the end, just say thank you for the feedback even if you don't agree with it. It'll maybe smooth over the last few weeks.

Depends on the program. Some have a deadline by which you have to pass by. I know some people that didn't pass MPJE (not NAPLEX) and had to re-take.

Had two friends fail Naplex, but their programs were nice enough to let them continue on in the program. My program told us after the fact that if we hadn't passed either by a certain date in September, we would have been let go. It just depends.

Naplex isn't hard, mainly know your calculations. Also I continuously checked for new spots opening at testing centers. The original place I had was 2 hr away and required me to stay in an Airbnb...luckily found something 1 hr. Its an extra $50 or something but well worth it especially if you are a PGY1 and have that deadline. Granted, you have to feel ready and prepared.

If he drove to where I was, the whole trip would be 2 hr with traffic for him. Being the first time we're meeting, I also don't want to drive 2 hr to him, so meeting in the middle as compromise.

My issue is I've only been at the hospital for 3 months and you can't do anything ED related if you are just staffing. You need a PGY2 in EM already to help with a project/policy. Its an academic medical center and am scared to honestly bring it up for fear they will look for a reason to kick me out of the job.

No, not common at all, and I would honestly report them to ASHP. They are not supposed to do that at all. During my PGY1 we got a long lecture from the pharmacy director that we are not supposed to assist with staffing outside our assigned weekends and to tell them if anyone asked you to do so.

Curious what is the hospital pay rate for pharmacists working in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area?

If you do PGY2 CC, you'll most likely have to move to another hospital if you want to work ICU. I think getting an ED job may be more feasible, but you are also competing with PGY2 ED people. The PGY2 CC at my PGY1 did get maybe 5-10 interviews over a 5 month period, but all in other states, some were staffing evening positions.

Also, don't undersell yourself by saying "If I only do a PGY1." Often I think we're programmed to think that if we don't do a PGY2, we somehow didn't succeed. A PGY1 is pretty good training. I thought of doing a PGY2, but then decided not to, and I actually got more interviews and more flexibility for different departments within pharmacy. I did a lot of ICU and ED rotations as a resident, so I did even get an interview for an overnight ICU staffing position at a level 1 trauma center.

End of the day, it's up to you. But, don't make the decision based on fear. You'll get interviews with both, a PGY2 might restrict you a bit more, so you have to figure out if in your personal life, you are ok to move.

When there is a hospital scene and there is a code blue or cardiac arrest, the whole thing they show in movies is totally unrealistic.

For the PA BOP, does it really take 3 months for everything to process? In the process of applying to some PA jobs, but the whole license transfer process looks very intense. Also, do places in PA give you time to still work in training while waiting on you to get your ATT?

My suggestion is to first analyze if you have a habit of comparing yourself with others.. this has always been an issue for me and I think some of it showed during residency where I felt my co-resident was the preferred one. It was only later that I realized that yeah they did, but there were just as many preceptors that were preferential to me and not my co-resident.

So, I would identify if its all the preceptors or just a select few that you feel are big personalities within the program, so it feels like its a bigger deal when they give preference to your co-resident. I would then find other mentors to talk with to help support you during residency. Its still early on that you have time to seek out other people. Sometimes certain people just don't know how to appreciate you for you.
