intern

Hey everyone, I am a first year family medicine resident and I am currently in my third block of the wards. I just feel like nothing is clicking. Like I don't see the big picture. I see my coworkers and they all seem to be getting everything and it seems to be coming so easy to them. All I...

Just out of sheer curiosity, will interns at a military hospital be allowed to wear scrubs and a black fleece (no logos)? I know they can wear scrubs+white coat, but what about going sans white coat or pairing scrubs with a black fleece? Is there a "uniform code" interns must strictly follow...

Hello I've been an Ob/gyn resident for two months (in my country, a student who has already chosen a speciality is called resident), and I am scared! Don't get me wrong, I love ob/gyn, I love the OR, I love the speciality per sé. The problem is, there is this enormous pressure to learn, there is...

It seems like for every 1 pharmacy internship position, there are 20 tech position openings. After many applications and some interviews for internships, I've got nothing. I really only want to work at a health system and would really only consider community if I had nothing else (even then I'd...

Hey everyone, So usually I don’t do this but I’m in dire need of help and thought I would turn to you all for advice. This is a little long so bear with me. I’m currently in my first year of family medicine residency (about 5 months in) and I don’t like it. It’s not even my program or the...

I am trying to pick a first book to read during intern year. I am looking for a good basic book that is easy to read. I want something that will be good preparation for the ITE and give me a head start going in to CA1 year. From reading other threads it looks like baby miller might fit that...

I was recently told that I "fell out of the system" because I haven't worked in a long time. This means I was terminated/separated from the company. However, I was told that I am eligible for a rehire. I am currently in my fourth year and now I'm worried that this will affect my employment in...

hey guys, new intern here, I wonder if anyone else has the same problem: the senior seems to like to function on themselves, instead of me going to the senior, they do their own thing, putting in orders, talking to the attending. I find it bothersome since I am supposed to be the one taking care...

Hi everyone ! So I'm 2 weeks into my internship at the surgery department at a hospital. I love it, but I can't help but feel like I'm not completely getting what I want out of it. So far, I've mostly been at the waiting room desk directing and taking people places throughout the hospital...

I'm having trouble finding a clear answer on this. I'm applying for different jobs now (CVS, Walgreens, hospitals, etc.) and some things I've looked up have said that an externship is unpaid and basically like shadowing. Is this true? Thanks in advance for your help people! :)

I'm looking to intern at Community Hospital or St. Margaret's Hospital. I really want to intern in Northwest Indiana so I can stay home. I'd prefer to not intern in retail since I was a tech for 2 years at Walgreens and I don't think retail is for me after school. Does anyone have any experience...
