hey guys i started day 5 lecture1... done with antibacterial drugs!
vena: im happy for u..its good to be out of the house
u'l be fine
and yeah goodluck with your observership ..something is better than nothing..why dont u apply there as a volunteer..i have applied at my local hospital..have to start somewhere
@RAW
i was planning tp apply for volunteership too , i checked out at the local hospitals too , they had diff options .. i didnt know which one to choose .. i thought i d just brush up my resume after i m done with my step 1 and then apply ..how did u go about it .. i mean did u choose the type of voluntership or they ll decide after looking at ur resume ??
@2177
i think those guys are doing it for endurance
i think u are rt ,, they must ve already done their uw round or fa round , my last SP was doing 4 blocks of uw every day in one go ( it was her first time uw , had around 40%left ) but she had done kap twice and fa doing third time .. and she was fast with fa ..and she use to reveiw the 4 blocks the next day , along with fa . she told me she was doing 4 blocks at a go so that she ll get used to the exam mode ..
i had dreams of the same , i m going very slow with fa ..i did around 90 qs of uw wrong qs yest ,, still ve 30 more to reveiw .. but i started fa today ,, endo , and will do uw wrong qs after that .. now at this pace i wont be able to finish fa this mnth .. i was wondering if i shd stop the qs and just move on with fa only .. but i feel much better if i do it along with the wrond qs ,, cos then i m able to think .. or else its like just plain boring , mugging and at the end of the day i find that i did a good no of qs wrong inspite of knowing the theory which i just read in fa that day itself .. so i find it better assimilating that way .. then then my fa depression is starting that way .. god am so CONFUSED ..
Yes @2177...at the mall....i know thereis no place for studing...but
I found a corner for myself. I want just come out some time...
@raw....yes hun ...i came out of my room ...i always in there becouse
My mother in low is there in our apartement so even i cant come out
To our hall becouse she will start talking so i need some time
Change place...lollll...
What u will do as volunteer...???did it will be good for our residency???
just came back from my walk..guys its beautiful out today..blue sky, green leaves...oh just pure nice
when my step 1 is over im gonna go to the park and sit under a tree listen to my fav music and feel the fresh air and the sun!! hmmmm
owl..i just sent them my resume...waiting for them to contact back...i mentioned patient contact would be nice...i dont care what they ask me to do..i want exposure in the hospital...even if its just taking patients from one place to another..i really need to be around a hospital for that motivation, i wanna talk to people and patients,, to see how the system works...and ofcourse help people..i know its not really going to help me in getting a residency or anything but im sick of being in the house studying all day ... and im craving for that motivation..to learn more!
vena..im so proud of u..
vena i think observership or externship experience will help more with residency application...i think if u have time go for those but if not then go for volunteering..i cant take out time for observership right now as my exam is near...volunteering will require just 1-2 days a week for 3-4 hours so that's more feasible for me
vena if there is a book store or something they usually have places to study or read at the mall..u can check that out as well..
@vena thats good u need a change of environment . if ur comfortable with the mall thats ok otherwise try bookstores like barnes & noble so that way everyone will be in the same situation like u reading . i cant study at mall as everyone is with full of life ... chatting , shopping, trying on makeup , perfumes new products , playful with the clock running & no need to put a halt everything opposite to me at present.
@RAW
totally agree .. its really nice outside .. i use to do the same thing .. on weekends when i use to go to the lib , ( its located inside a big park) my husb use to bring lunch for us .. we use to just take a bed sheet , ve lunch there and soak in the sun .. cant wait for all the good times to come back .. am eagerly waiting to hit the pool too ..
i was looking to the volunteer ship for the same reason,, am sure we ll learn alot more .. am really sick of staying inside the house .. seem to be becoming dumb and losing my self confidence too . am planning to opt for ER or reading books .. cant push the wheel chair around .. my small bones are too weak for that .lol!!
and dont worry ur volunteership wont go unnoticed in ur resume ..
@vena , u ve got the spirits .. time and place doesnt mater if u ve got the determination .. keep it up .. raw is rt .. u can look for a cofee shop too .. there s a coffee shop below my apt and i see some people coming there and doing grp study ..
