Passed!!!!!!! :clap:

I was dying all morning because word went out while we were in rounds, and my appointment showed up immediately after. Didn’t want to check and risk crying in front of a client, so waited till I was free to check a little while ago :laugh: thankfully, no tears were necessary!! Woohoo!! Congrats to the rest of you too!! :)

I passed, but one of my rotation mates didn't. She was so upset, I felt so bad. And it meant the rest of us felt bad being too excited, because we didn't want her to feel like we were rubbing it in her face. But I'm so excited!!!!

There is always going to be someone who doesn't pass and it sucks. Especially when you want to feel bad for them and support them but be happy for yourself. Chances are they will pass in April, they have been able to see and feel how the exam goes and they know what to expect better. Everyone in my class who did not pass during the first attempt, passed on the second.

Hey humans who were offering to share resumes, would you mind sending it my way as well? And if anyone has a good cover letter they wouldn't mind sharing I would appreciate it so much! [email protected] is my email. Now that I've actually passed the NAVLE and feel like I can start looking for jobs I'm like..... oh crap how do I apply for jobs again?!?!

That's so crazy you only have 8 weeks left! I still have ~4 months haha

Thankfully I have an off block last, otherwise I might have ~4 months too. Though at 15+ months into clinics, I think 4 more months might have killed me :p

My SO and I just got done job searching and I think the month and a half we were heavily searching made me age 4 years. There was so much stress and uncertainty and I really hated every moment of it.

Hang in there, I hope you find something soon!

PS I think I saw recently-ish a thread that was about what people wished they had known or asked when interviewing at a new practice/as a new vet
... if anyone knows what its called of the top of their head please let me know or tag me!
 
I got my number one choice for internship! I didn’t match but went through the scramble... Sooo stressful but worth it!

It's been so long since I've posted.. but curious if anyone else is taking the CA boards?? Getting a little nervous and wouldn't mind advice :)
 
Accreditation day (AKA 8 hour lecture day) was today, which makes me realize just how much I did NOT miss the classroom.

In other news, starting tomorrow I only have one more rotation left! 2 more weeks until freedom! :soexcited:

We lucked out because I guess the usual "8 hour lecture" guy couldn't make it so they sent a sub and he gave us the lectures in only two hours :laugh::laugh:

I only have one (very good) offer and its already stressing me out. Visiting two more places at the end of the month and I anticipate offers from both so I'm sure my stress will only grow. Womp.

Tomorrow is my last official day in either hospital. What the what! Next 6 weeks are going to be blissfully spent roaming around 1000+ acres doing wildlife work. :love:

I can't believe we're so close to graduation!

Seriously jealous of you guys that have finished rotations already, senioritis is kicking my ass hard all of a sudden. Being on my last large animal rotation (equine med) while being a strictly small animal person is also suuuuper not helping...

I still have 9 rotations left :confused: luckily 2 of them are externships (at the beach near my hometown..) and one is vacation! But yeah having freaking DAIRY next (which I got instead of something actually relevant to my career because the person who schedules us accidentally looked at someone else’s preferences instead of mine and then refused to fix it even though she realized the error before anyone’s schedule was released, not bitter I swear) is not helping my level of give-a-craps.

The UT class of 2019 started clinics today, and I overlap with them for the last 6 weeks of my fourth year. Being on rotation with them makes me excited to be an intern and teach students :D
