So I walked out of a Therapeutics III final yesterday, and I was almost in tears.

I have NEVER felt that much relief in my entire life...

Yup. Congrats. My last day of rotations was one of the happiest days of my life.

I felt that way last week about DSM I, but it wasn't about relief... 🙁

PharmD, are you staying in the area to do rotations or leaving?

I know. Poor thing. 🙁 Remember that 53% that I was talking about?
The DSM series reminds me of that song "Gives You Hell", because there's such a crazy dichotomy to it. You... like the class, but hate the exams... love the professors, but hate their questions... hate the class schedule, but are happy that you don't have to go into that "hell" every day... *sigh*

Staying.

My rotations are within the "90 mile radius", but almost all of them are outside of the faculty-type stuff. I have only one rotation with a faculty member, who I appreciate and respect, and I'm very happy and grateful about that. 🙂

If you need help with preferences next year, please!, let me know. My preferences system worked out very well. 😉

I'll be happy to start rotations. 😛

They gave you a therapeutics final on a Saturday??? That is cold 🙁 Congrats on getting through it!!!

Our "week" of finals starts this upcoming Friday - I have covered a total of 3 subjects (pharmacy admin / Drug info, Renal, and cardiology) - If I don't make some serious headway into endocrinology tomorrow - I am screwed.

I was out in an hour and 10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. 🙂

Yeah. I had a solid B going in, so I should end up with a B, hopefully. I know people who were borderline C/D.

As I was walking out of the building, I really wanted to start pouring out in tears. If this helps with the brevity of the situation, about 20% of our P2 class failed PT1. 😱


I still have 2 finals left, but they'll be much more manageable. I have 1 tomorrow, that isn't cumulative, and 1 the next day.

You'll do fine. Just keep on it!

Yeah we had some of the students from your class in our class, but I think they got their act together. Compared to you guys, our class did slightly better since they changed the format. I'm just happy to be done with finals, but now, I don't know what to do with myself now that I'm not studying for an upcoming test.

I had heard that ~43 out of 165 students didn't pass that class. Is that right? That would be a 26% failure rate. I think our failure rate was ~20%.


Can't think of anything to study? How about the Oncology notes? That's the hardest part of DSM II. Also, I thought hyperlipidemia was easy, but the questions were kind of hard.
I wish I could remember more about DSM II right now, but I'm sort of in and out at this Cinco de Mayo party. 😛 The Mexican food and beer are excellente'!

If I can warn you of anything, 1st semester of P3 year is the hardest semester. People say that P3 year is easier than P2 year, which I guess it is overall, but P3 fall semester is very, very rough! It's a lot of busy work combined with intense course material.

Let me know if you need anything... 🙂.

Wait, you were done with your Therapeutics exam in about an hour? I just took my first Therapeutics midterm exam about a week ago. They gave us three hours, and almost no one left early. Was part of your test multiple choice? Our test was all short answer. I'm just wondering what other people's tests are like. Congrats on being done with it though 😉

The tests are multiple choice. I think since the NAPLEX is multiple choice, they try to use that testing style for exams to prepare everyone for their "big" day (of taking the NAPLEX).

Cases are completely short answer - S-O-A-P- now, which I like much better; they used to be group projects that had to be presented to clinical faculty members.

w00t, I'm done too....sortof, well...done with the most useless year of school at least (P-1) as of 9:47am. Knocked out my last final and kept my GPA intact, let's see if that carries the next two years.

Expect to see me more involved in case study threads as time goes on 👍

And congrats PharmDstudent, take a few drinks for me
