I figured you disappeared into the clinic black hole. Good luckReal clinics are BANANAS so far
But I like bananas
I hope they keep the changes the pandemic caused. Having the ability to take it in a larger window and not waiting til January for scores sounds like heaven.
I joined this figs sale Facebook page hoping for better deals and I'm still sticker shook
Dont do it. You’ll love them and then you’ll be mad at yourself for loving them lol
I commented on their Facebook ad saying I wanted to give them all my money, but not if they don't believe short people can be Jedi knights too
They do 20% off for students, FYI! Sign up for their discount program.
Take it at the beginning of vacation like @DVMDream said she did and not have to prepare for clinics afterwards and just get to relax???
Still jealous that y’all get to pick your dates. Ours are assigned for us “to ensure that there are not multiple people from each rotation gone on any given day”
I wish they would’ve done that! My poor friend (a serial procrastinator) got scheduled for September 1st during the middle of a very difficult rotation
Weird they don't take rotations into account. Here if you have a vacation during the testing window they ask you to take it then, and if not they tell you which rotation to take it on based on which would function best without a student and would be easier on you to do
That’s beautiful if they’re gonna tell you when to take it
If it makes you all feel better, we’ve at least been 100% pass rate the past 3 yrs and haven’t been below 98% in quite some time. Haha
We get a good amount, 8 weeks throughout the year. It does suck if your vacation falls in the window (especially now that it's longer, most people have at least one vacation in that window). If you can't take it then I believe you can still work it out with the coordinator for during a rotation so long as you have a decent justification for why. I'm fine with doing it during a vacation because there's nothing to come back to immediately after it's done, though.
We get a LOT more vacation than most schools so I figured that was probably it
I mean...our clinics are supposed to be 15 months long, and we only get 4 weeks vacation.We get up to 4. 8 is so many
Actually...I wonder if it's different now with the new curriculum. Might be since clinics are 4 months longer.
I took mine during SA surgery after having 4 heavy rotations prior as well. I was so busy, I had little time to worry about NAVLE. haha

Honestly, it really doesn't matter when you take it. It will never be the perfect conditions to take this pain in the ass test. You are going to be stressed no matter what, so if you can, use that worry energy for learning from your rotations and keeping track of your weaknesses to concentrate your study efforts for Navle.
Umm hi I'm jealous. I was on emergency and I got half a day off and took it on my "weekend". But it's true there's never a perfect time to take that beast so just throw a dart at a calendar and get 'er done
Not in fourth year, but I work in the LA hospital at OSU. Each room has a sign posted saying the max number of people allowed in at once. We do our best to stay 6 feet from other people, but it realistically doesn't work that way. There's only so much you can do to treat an animal by yourself so we spend a lot of time in close proximity. Masks are required at all times and the fourth years space themselves out slightly more than usual during rounds. Fourth years were allowed to get a covid test before returning, but weren't required to. It's definitely not perfect and I think we'll have a tough time when someone eventually tests positive.
