Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Good morning everyone!

I got an email from my boss that says she needs to talk to me today about "coverage in the clinic and work hours." I'm probably going to get chewed out for missing work yesterday... :scared: I had a last-minute dr. appointment in the morning and I knew that there were no potential study participants in the clinic so I just didn't come in.

It'll probably be fine - my boss is really nice and down-to-earth. I'll probably just have to commit to being in the clinic like 8 hours a day. We are so far behind on recruitment (but it's because there are just not as many 6-12 year olds in the clinic as our grant submission said) and I think she's feeling the pressure from the PI in our research group. We essentially have to recruit 25 patients per month for the next 5 months in order to meet our deadline. I typically only get 3-4 per week so it's going to be tough...
 
Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that I have a friend from high school who had a speaking role in ER last night! I haven't seen it yet so I don't know what part she plays, but apparently she had a scene with Angela Bassett (Dr. Banfield).

I can't believe they're going to kill off Izzie... maybe they'll just have her go into chemo and thus not be able to finish her residency (if you call it that).

Thanks for spoiling the plot for people who have not had a chance to watch it yet😡😡😡

do you ever work out at Pottruck?
 
haha, every time someone 'ruins' a Grey's plot for me, I realize why I don't watch the show.

Hehe, I don't like any of those doctors!
 
So I've been over on the Step 1 forums looking at those INSANE board scores... wow.

I should've started studying last year... 😆

At least passing is well below what the SDN average is.
 
The not sleeping has caught up... I am sick🙁
 
Good morning

I think I'm ready for med school. I just sat through a lecture on the pelvic cavity with vivid slides of rectal and uterine prolapses and promptly ate lunch afterward 🙂

Zero. I woke up a half hour before my alarm was supposed to go off.:cry:

Yeah, I was surprisingly peppy this morning as soon as my alarm went off at 7.

i have to read Mrs. Dalloway and write a paper on it. Not fun

Very not cool.

Didn't you just spreadsheet ALL the patients like yesterday?
Click to expand...
Yeah! I just think this fellow employee (my boss didn't say who but I know who it is) is not happy with her job and trying to find a reason to complain. She complains about EVERYTHING. Just because I am not in the clinic doesn't mean I'm not working.

That type of person always tries to drag the team down with them. Its extremely annoying and too bad that you can't tell her off unless you are trying to lose your job.

I am working. I work in the admissions office of my undergrad/grad school. :laugh:

So registration day = hell!

second this

my research co-ord is new and is claiming that i haven't been working enough hours. except i worked all last quarter and this quarter for just one quarter's credits. i missed a couple times last quarter due to personal issues and interviews but i'm pretty sure i have made them all up plus more. she also makes me do menial tasks like photocopying rather than hardcore research. not happy. she says she expects me to work until the end of the quarter ... :thumb down:
 
^That's exactly the type. She's been trying to find another job since last summer -- she went through a graduate degree program not knowing what she'd use her degree for, and now she's stuck. At least this will motivate me to work harder and hopefully get more work done than before so I can prove her wrong. 🙂

Ugh, I'm so glad it's Friday. Next week promises to be better (although probably a bit more anxiety-filled since P&S is selecting the incoming class next week!)
 
yeah, it really blows. the last research co-ordinator let me do any work i believed needed to work on. i did so much stuff and was so productive but now i feel useless.
