Did anyone else apply for the Tylenol scholarship this year? Any idea how many people usually make semifinalist? Notifications went out today.

I was notified that I was a semi finalist. Same thing happened last year, but that went nowhere. Hopefully it is different this year.

If by second year starting you mean "wine festival on Saturday morning" then yes, second year has started.

 

[Dires]

Second year starts for me soon... And so the final official break ends... Until 4th year

 

[Doctor Strange]

Wtf. I start again on August 18th.

[CsHead]

Start so much sooner than ya'll….

also… popped up randomly again lol

 

[WhovianDO]

Second year begins tomorrow. There are talk of new classes, bad professors, and the most scary of all-boards prep.

 

[dyspareunia]

School begins tomorrow for me as well. Purchased Kaplan Qbank this morning only to realize it takes them TWO WHOLE DAYS to "integrate" you into their system. What a load of bs.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Y'all are cray.

I was contemplating which qbank to get, but then my school emailed us and said they are providing us with Combank. I'll buy usmle world or something in the spring.

Nice. My school doesn't provide anything!

 

[WhovianDO]

My school hasn't before. It's new and I'm not complaining. Combank is one of the best for the COMLEX. Strange to think that this time next year, we will be starting rotations and taking care of patients.

My condolences.

 

[WildEMDoc]

Is it bad that I actually want second year to start? Rural rotations suck

I liked my rural rotation because I got to do so much during it. Sure the location wasn't ideal, but the experience was a lot of fun.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Lol three weeks of summer still. My goal this week is crashing every first year orientation social event.

Mine is trying to saddle me with responsibilities and time constraints that I shouldn't have

The experience....not great either. The location is cool.

+1. A whole 5 weeks of summer left for me.

Damn! Good thing you are starting now.

We just had our first exam of MS2 on Monday We started beginning of July, but last year we started MS1 at the end of August so I guess it's a tradeoff. We also get a weird 1 week break in the middle of September.

 

[dyspareunia]

Damn! Good thing you are starting now.

Right? 2 days lost = points lost on Step 1. Goodbye 280 and derm, hello 191 and nursing school.

Life is not fair.

 

[WhovianDO]

Starting firecracker in MS2 after not doing it in MS1. Overwhelming.

 

[Tots]

I still have like 6-7 weeks of summer. 3 more weeks of research and 3 weeks of vacation in California. Life is so good.

 

[Ellie Arroway]

I have no idea what I'm doing with my life anymore. I could go into family med or interventional radiology for all I know.

100% family med for me. I think it's my calling!

Definitely scary feeling at first. As time goes on, it's not as overwhelming.

That moment when you ask what medication the patient is taking and their response is "The oblong one with the little numbers on it"

I just started it as well. I tagged all that we have learned so far and ended up with over 6000 questions that it wanted me to do in a single day (maybe I'm using the program wrong?). I'm hoping that I can chip at it a little every day, but it is definitely overwhelming.

I would suggest only tagging a few topics a day to catch up on first year material.

That's what I have started doing. It has taken me awhile to figure out how everything works.

 

[WhovianDO]

Sooo flag a few M1 and a few M2 topics per day instead of all M1 at once? Ha. I'm completely new to this.

You can also take it off legendary mode.

Hello SDN. It's been almost 2 months since I last posted I think. Just getting back home from officers training and second year starts in a week.
Ready to hit the ground running. And by "hit the ground running" I really mean trip and fall flat on my face.
