But, I am learning some. And that is the main point of course. I have taken the time that I am not seeing people and using it to read articles and get myself ready to take on the role of a good intern and eventually a good resident and practitioner. Not to mention, I have to get ready to take step 3 of the boards. I plan on taking them in 6 months. So to get ready, I am reading Kaplan's Mastering the Boards and will be signing up for the Q-banks. The more questions I do, the better I will be. I plan on getting a fellowship so I would like to score very well. While I did about 2500 questions to prepare for Step 2, I plan to do at least this many for Step 3. The big difference is that this test is 2 days long. That's right dear readers, you heard me; 2 DAYS!!!! Lord Help Me.
Our last loan check came in, so we no longer have to eat Ramen Noodles and I am going to start getting paid, which is a nice return to the way things ought to be.

Next time, I will talk about my first on call in the ICU!!
CONGRATULATIONS AND CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT IT ALLLL....
ReplyDeleteI love it! Congratulations on getting to this point. I think teachers should go through a system like this. There would be a lot less of them quitting or not being able to handle a difficult class. Keep us posted on what comes next.
ReplyDeleteThanks both of you. It is very kind. I still have my "sea legs" but they are getting more steady as I have more confidence in my abilities. I have been reading about 1 organ system emergency just about every day and how to treat it so I am ready for the ICU, which is not only this weekend and next weekend for overnight call, but also next month. Well 2 months if you count also the Surgical Intensive Care Unit the month after that.
