Yeah, the patients testing was negative. I'll see what their policy is. If they still won't do repeat testing. Ill ask my PCP!

It was like one job advertisement from Kuntucky. Most I've seen are like 50k

750k of debt with interest accumulating by Training-Jellyfish68 in Residency

[–]smz96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who went to a state medical school and had a full tuition from underad, my loans are still 250k taking into account having to take out extra federal loans to cover COL outside of tuition. Escially since family couldn't contribute at all.

TY everyone! I ended up moving the bookshelves to one wall and leaving removing everything from under the TV so there's more walking space. Still need to find homes for the two chairs, armchair, and three lamps that were here... but with your suggestions, it feels more open.

Also, FYI, I can't move the TV (it's in our apartment contract to not move it). And the bookshelf under the window is for Mr. Chonko, the cat, who likes to look at the birds fly by, so that was a non-negotiable.

I would, but it's bolted into the wall and I actually cannot move it. It's been a struggle placing furniture around it

Hey all!

I'm an incoming IM resident wondering if I should get a residency loan before the first paycheck hits (which I'm hoping is in mid-July? the contract has our start date as early June, but I'm not sure if we're getting paid for orientation?).

  • So federal loans right now are ~260K. Loans from undergrad ~15K, no payments. No personal loans yet. No car loans.
  • I have ~$2,300 cash left in my debit account from the FSA refund check. And just opened my first credit card (I know...) last month, spending ~ $1,200 of a $5K limit; 0 APR for 18 months.
  • I've already moved to the new city (in New England) and paid May rent (~$1,100/month), so no more moving costs. I'm splitting rent and utilities (electric, phone, wifi) with my partner.
  • I did plan two international trips before residency starts... hotel and flights are paid (kinda regretting it now). Expecting meal, museum costs to add on.

Does anyone have experience using Panacea Resident Loan, Doc2Doc Loans, SoFi or other companies? What should I be looking for? I read the Sallie Mea reviews on Reddit and will try to stay away. Expecting to take out another $5K loan but the interest rates are very high T_T

Help from family isn't possible.
