Im telling you right now...Drop your girl (if u have one)...Get rid of your Video game systems(If you have one) and dont go out partying for your entire time in med' school...You'll have plenty of time for that after you finish Med' school and such.....FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!


Do what you HAVE to do in order to do what you WANT to do

im a 4th year student interviewing for residency right now and please do not follow this advice at all. you will BURN OUT.

work hard but you must make time to enjoy yourself too... if i didnt have my wife, friends, family, and my xbox 360

to take my mind off of school, the last 4 years wouldve been hell.

and as far as having time to do that after med school, guess again. residency is gonna be much tougher than med school will be.

and dont just try to get by and pass... do well so you have choices on what field you want to go into. later on you might decide you want to be an ortho surgeon but dont have the grades, then you wont be too happy with yourself.

PM me if you got any questions. good luck and enjoy the rest of your time before school starts!

exactly. im in my second year now and i definitely would have burned out if i didnt take time to play ball 3 times a week, go to the gym, play some xbox, or kick back and have a few beers while watching a game. but when it's time to hit the books i'm focused as best i can.

do you guys work part time while still doing all of this? how hard would it be to be working as a nurse making money while still going to med school?

literally impossible. you will undoubtedly fail at both your job and at med school. the only possible job you could have is at like the school library for a few dollars an hour. im lucky enough that my parents are helping me with everything. other students have to factor in living expenses when you apply for student loans. others have spouses that work. i even know of a few married students with families that are on welfare.

wow man thats o.d thanks a lot for the info!

Congrats... forensic pathology sounds interesting, but I'd assume one downside is that you'd be stuck in the morgue all-day...

old joke... what do you call someone who graduated last in their class in med school?

You say that as if you've been a doctor for 30 years

"Things just went downhill after '87."

 

[camron giles]

Dude gonna drop out or fail. too immature to become a doctor

 

[whywesteppin]

Sup... Congrats. *secret handshake*

You'll have plenty of time for everything. It's all about balance. Yes, there will be months where you will be working non-stop, but usually you willhave time for partying, video games, etc. Plus, many med students are in serious relationships or married. There's a good chance it won't get betterafter med school, depending on what specialty you enter. So just learn how to balance everything.

 

[antbanks81]

congrats man...I hope you do well, my sister just got the same call from Rush on Friday.

It doesn't get any easier

Med school is

The boards

RESIDENCY IS

But I'm glad I made it this far....long way to go tho. I'm talking 8-9 years away.
