She's probably working as a cocktail waitress. I was just there and noticed that each time you or anyone else orders a "free" drink in the casino, you are expected to tip them at least $1 (many people tip more than that). Unlike dealers and other staff however, waitresses don't need to pool their tips with others and get to keep everything for themselves. I can only imagine how much money (probably $100s per day) they collect in these tips. Someone could easily rake in six figures a year from this alone.
In critical care... that's especially true.
The status of the patient is dependent on labs and 3 variables: Pink, Peeing, Pulses
If you can check off the 3 P's.... you doin' arite....
The pool clubs have servers that bring drinks/provide bottle service to people with cabanas. Seeing as some of the cabanas can run in the 1000s and drunk tourists love tipping, people make crazy money doing this. But the jobs are pretty competitive they have like legit try outs every year for them haha

Yes!!! She has to try out YEARLY and most of her income is made in crazy tips!!!

If you ranked ~20 programs and got 8 love letters you should be good right 😬
Most people ranked less and received no communication, so probably not a great take tbh

USMD?
All I'm saying is your post comes across as insensitive and probably won't be met with a positive response.

Eh. 4/301 USMDs with 16+ ranks didn't match. There is always a red flag in these situations.
The people on this thread with an actual reason to panic. I.e. not with 20 ranks and 8 love letters jfc

Sigh he’s just better than I am in all categories

I mean like read the room. It comes off as insensitive when the vast majority of candidates do not get love letters or 20+ invites.

I rather you know panic into a forum then just harbor it and worry about it so sorry for sharing☹🤷🏼♀️

No, like a personality or LOR red flag. The few times I've met someone in person who had something like this happen I realized what the issue was within a matter of minutes.
Classic SDN. We see it all the time in the premed forums: "524 MCAT, 4.0 GPA, valedictorian at Yale WAMC?!?!"
Now it's: "I have twice as many ranks as is statistically necessary for most specialties, and have gotten 8 times the number of love letters that most applicants get, I aM sO wOrRiEd"
Give it a rest.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Possible there was a poster on here though who interviewed at 17 places with insane stats .... going to try not to panic

Sorry I hurt you? Idk what you want me to say lol. 🙆🏼♀️ I didn’t say anything offensive or attack anyone so I’m not deleting it. Sorry bout it! It’s an eras panic thread and I’ll panic if I want to
I don't care what you say. I feel great about my rank list. But I know tons of people with 5 or less ranks who are all US grads with no red flags cuz this cycle is nuts. And I'm sure tons lurk or post on this thread. So if you seriously can't understand why your take is a ridiculous one to be nervous about ....then I really don't know what to tell you boss.

Okay sunshine you do you 💁🏼♀️
@iamarosepetal
Those cases of high stats + lots of interviews + not-matched exist every year but are anomalies. I know we are all nervous but you should be able to understand and process that, for the sake of your own mental health.

It’s different when you know the person in real life and they’re your intern this week 🥲 thank you though!! Need this to just end
We all have some form of anxiety at this point, I’m happy to panic with all y’all from the 1 rank CHADs who studded out on their interview to the 20 rank virgins with CVs longer than any book I’ve ever read.
Additional, ahhhhhhhhh I feel like I’m going to puke
edit: just incase y’all don’t reddit, im not actually calling you a virgin if you have 20+ ranks. Kinda realized that terminology is reddit slang so had to clarify

@Jack Donaghy no offense man but your posts seem a little bitter just looking through your entire post history. Cool it. If you were that secure in yourself you wouldn't be putting down others. Everyone's allowed to be anxious I know I am.
Why is this thread so hostile?
Stress at an all time high
Yeah but maybe some people shouldn't disparage someone for asking a question and then giving a reason why they're stressed. If they were confident in themselves they wouldn't have a need to be hostile
I can understand but dishing insults and mockery at each other is a completely unproductive way to handle stress
Would also like to give a shout out to all my underdogs out there. When I was a premed student I had a 502 and 3.6 GPA. Everyone told me not to apply MD. I did it. Got 7 interviews, 3 acceptances (2 before October 15th). Don't let your dreams BE dreams.
I agree. Just giving some possible reasons haha
It's only @Jack Donaghy insulting people I don't see any other insults.
edit: he even got mad when someone asked about eastern or central time. like give me a grip!
Unlike you, I haven't insulted, disparaged, or put anyone down.
Everyone, we know the stress level is higher than ever right now with match week in just a few days.
This thread is called the "panic" thread as a place you can share your panicky thoughts.
Now that it has devolved into personal attacks and back-and-forth arguments I'm going to ask you to take a step back and resist the impulse to fire back at the other posters.

OMG 😱 I am so scared now. I hope it is not me this year. I have a red flag but was fortunate to have received a good number of interviews (much more than I could ever imagine possible). I thought I would be ok with the number of interviews I attended, but this just completely crushed me 😢😭

Ugh yeah. Tell me about it. After I heard that today I wanted to dismiss myself but we have clinic till 5 lol. And clinics run an hour late always so probably here till 6
I like how you're threatening @iamarosepetal with personal attacks but I re-read it and there were 0 instances of personal attacks from his/her to you. It was all one-sided.
This thread is getting tense! Tomorrow is Friday!!! Then it’s just the weekend and we find out! Ahhhhhhhh!!
I genuinely hope everyone here matches to their #1. And I also hope the stress we're all feeling subsides come Monday.
I was simply trying to look out for my homies who have low numbers, sorry for doing so as I had no idea it would derail the whole thread.

There are nice ways to do it but all's well 💪 in the home stretch.
Yeah wtf I go to the hospital for one meaningless rotation day and come back and it's chaos in here!
