I wanted to rip my hair out through most of today. Such a **** show. This damn rotation can't end soon enough.
I am having so many issues with this last rotation place and I want to scream. They just switched it so im doing six weeks of just path instead of three of path and three general stuff. That's not what I want to do nor what I think with ld be best for my overall education. Should probably just bite the bullet but ugh!
Six weeks of path? I think I'd just go ahead and kill myself.

Surgery was my least favorite by a very long shot. Great people and all, but a giant mess most of the time. Hang in there.I wanted to rip my hair out through most of today. Such a **** show. This damn rotation can't end soon enough.
We do 6 weeks here... 4 anatomic, 2 clin. We have 2 hours of lecture each day while on the rotation.

I need WTF or someone in here to help me spread pathology love. We have one required path rotation (you do both necropsy and clin path), but I'm doing 12 weeks of path electives.
Another miserable day of surgery done. Three more days...
Hang in there.
If I had the forethought, I would have made myself a new nametag that said "Human Doyen" on it and then show up in surgery to see if anyone noticed.
Hello Canadian (PEI) friends, one of our interns from Hong Kong/Taiwan is moving up north for an IM residency this summer. She is looking for place to live that is extremely cheap (her only restriction is cost) because her residents salary is very little once she pays for graduate school fees. Thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew of places to recommend
Hey @Coquette22 and @that redhead -- Have you heard anything good or bad about AVC's chiropractic and acupuncture rotations? There's a flyer on my bulletin board about it and I was curious.
First day of necropsy. Everything was going well, until clean up. Three of us picked up a horse's GI tract and tossed it into the hazmat dumpster. I stepped back, slipped, and slammed my head into the floor. Safety glasses left me with a 3 cm gash above my right eye that took 3 internal and 7 external sutures to close. Instead of lecture, I got to spend the afternoon in urgent care with a pathology professor. At least no one can say I was slacking off.
hope it feels better quickly. What a way to start pathFirst day of necropsy. Everything was going well, until clean up.

No fun. This must be why @WhtsThFrequency says pathology is the "dark side"...
Huge bummer. You're looking in MD, right? Have you looked in DC or NOVA? I'm very nervous to apply for jobs next year. I'm hoping to find something in central VA..And I still don't have a job or anything close but hopefully I can go to my one interview this week and applying to some more places.
To make it extra fun, the government-sanctioned internet access won't let me access my school notes because they're on a Canadian site so I'm relying on textbooks and websites that are not as helpful as I need.

can he afford amtrak to commute? It expands the radius.At this point I've applied to a bunch in MD, NOVA and even a few more closer to central VA. Essentially anything I'm even remotely qualified for that will allow my husband to get to DC everyday with an hour or so of traffic. I'm considering looking at PA and DE close to the state lines at this rate.

Hadn't thought of that. Not yet that desperate but it may be just around the corner.
Have you tried the maryand VMA site? I think most of them are cross listed from VIN or AVMA, but might be worth a shot
i want a magic fairy to pay off my loans, not so much because being debt free would be amazing (it would!), but because then MAYBE my father would leave my finances the heck alone and stop guilting me about everything and blah, blah, blah. i dread the conversation thats going to occur if i apply for a residency next fall, i've already been told previously how irresponsible and stupid i'm being for heading the internship/residency route. and yes, i get it. have a job that pays bucket-loads more than an internship would be better for my financial rest of life, but if i go crawl in a cave and cry for the rest of my life because i'm so miserable, i suspect my earning potential is going to really suffer.

i'm definitely nervous about signing on for an apartment i've never seen (and no one i know has either). i just cross my fingers and hope for the best thoughI know this is a really petty rant given the job woes/financial woes some of you guys are dealing with but... I hate trying to find housing when I can't actually get to the city to look at anything.

I think it really hit me when I realized that when the "How ya doing c/o 2019" thread starts blowing up at the start of the school year, we won't be in vet school anymorethe NCSU IS kids just got their acceptance letters on Friday, and one of the c/o 2015 kids posted that we are officially old. someone else astutely pointed out that by the time these kids graduate, some of us will be boarded specialists, and others will be finishing residencies and taking boards. how crazy is that???

Yeah I did the blind renting when I moved to PEI too and the place was fine, but well, you know about the roommate issues! None of that this time, luckily. Only roommates from here on out are non human.That's how it was coming up to PEI for me (well, minus the feet upon feet of snow). I got my landlord's info from an SDNer, actually, and it all worked out, but it was scary to rent a place without seeing it in person or meeting the guy. When do you actually start?

I haven't officially set a start date. I'm aiming for May 19 (cause I have $0 to float me and need to start earning a paycheque ASAP) but that's dependent on sorting out my provincial licence and finding a place to live.
I briefly took up kick boxing. When asked why I hit so hard, I replied, "I really hate my roommate."I still can't fathom how you survived that situation...good plan on the non-human roommates. Yours are pretty cute too
I'd settle for multi-hundred, just enough to cover my rent...Wouldn't it be nice if vets got multi-million dollar signing bonuses like NFL players? You could be like, "Eh, I'll start in August after I get back from my yacht vacation to Europe."
