Anybody else keep having navle stress dreams?

Sometimes they're stressful dreams that I failed, and sometimes they're happy dreams that I passed (which then become stressful when I wake up lol)

Mine still says no report

Yeah, it sounds like there's something wonky going on - the NAVLE results thread in the Vet subforum has people who were able to see their score report, but it didn't have their name, and now it sounds like no one can access theirs. I haven't looked to see if I can't see mine anymore - I downloaded it and all the identifying info on it was correct so :shrug:

Some classmates got results with other people's names on it. Someone on my rotation also had a random name on the first page and a different name on the second page. They pulled the results for everyone on my rotation at least.

Not sure how ICVA screws up publishing the scores when the exam closed over a month ago. 🤣
 
I heard that something similar occurred last year around this time with NAVLE scores

like an email saying they resolved the issue?

Yeah but I think she may have read the email wrong. It's a hectic time school wise so I'm not blaming her 😅. This has been a cluster class F. The school is offering to play for zuku or vet prep though if folks didn't pass which is nice.

My school sent an email out indicating that they're completely oblivious to the situation :thinkies:
 
Yeah apparently they notified the schools but only mentioned the "technical issue" and didn't actually elaborate on the **** show that happened
 
Schools are notified when scores are sent out and they get a copy of the list. However, that's the extent of the info they get.

My school sent out an email stating that they were aware of the issue, sorry for the added stress, and assuring us that the college officials are "not happy" and that the "ICVA will feel the heat". Good to know someone has our back 🤣

The one my school sent out was probably just a copy/paste standard "scores are out" one, that's what it read like.

I'm at Oregon State. Honestly my overall experience here has been great. Everyone from the faculty to the house officers to the technicians to my classmates have been wonderful. The administration has been very responsive to concerns and have made several adjustments when my class has brought up issues. To the point that one of our first year professors is no longer teaching. It took multiple years of complaints about her, but our class finally had a serious sit-down with the dean and aired all of our grievances (with proof), and she was finally removed from all student-teaching duties (she's still tenured, but solely does research now). That was the only faculty member I ever had real issues with, and no class after ours will have to deal with her again.

Everyone else has been great to work with and truly wants to see you succeed. We have a rock-solid student advocacy group made up of everyone from students to technicians to faculty that do a great job and really take it seriously. One of the techs involved in the group said that if we're ever on campus for more than 16-18 hours in a 24 hours period to email her and she will personally tell our clinician that we need to go home, and if they have a problem with it, they can take it up with the student advocacy group. I'm not personally aware of anyone needing to take her up on that, but I fully believe she would do it. Lots of little things like that really make the difference. The school is not perfect by any means and there's lots of improvements that still need to happen, but there's enough effort and changes happening that it feels like they genuinely care rather than just appeasing us with empty words. It wasn't my first choice school, but now in 4th year, I can't imagine ending up anywhere else!

Started my new job a few weeks ago and the imposter syndrome is real! Struggling to relax on my days off, worried I'm gonna get a call/message with a client complaint or that I screwed something up big time.

This job is hard! Just came back on here after a long hiatus to see how you all are holding up post-graduation. I have high highs and low lows at my job. I went straight out to small animal GP in a practice with three other doctors who provide good mentorship, but still on my own a lot of the time. One thing I didn't realize before going into GP; to see the number of patients we see on a daily basis, the level detail and follow-up we were taught in school is not realistic and does not apply. I feel like we were taught such a high level of medicine in school which I loved, but without the context of what life as a GP is really like. I feel passionate about community medicine and GP work, but I wish I had been taught a few more practical tools in school to be able to practice this type of medicine.

If anyone else is reading this still...how are you all doing post-graduation? It was so strange to be so close to my class prior to graduation (it feels like your whole life) and then for us all to disperse for seemingly the rest of our lives immediately after. What a wild ride vet school is.
 
I don't know how many of us are still around, but how are y'all doing? It's been one year since my graduation and it feels like the longest year of my life, but also I can't believe it's been a year already.

I'm counting down the days left in my rotating internship before I hopefully never work ER again in my life (16 15 ER shifts to go), and feeling glad I don't have to move before the start of the next chapter.

Edited because despite counting down, it seems I'm not actually good at counting.

I quit my first job in March after 9 months and just moved to the opposite coast for a new one. Haven't started yet, currently sitting in an empty apartment with my pets while my furniture takes a scenic tour of America. Feel very much like I know nothing still.

What are your post-internship plans?
 
4 weeks left in rotating internship! Will be glad to never work an ER shift again! 9 to go. Bought a house in January and can't wait to move and actually live in it with my wife/pets and start my radiology internship/residency (negotiated last year outside the match with my desired school) Good luck all!
