whew

so...another post finally. see i dont have internet at my apartment so it is hard to update and when i do have access i never really think about it...my life has been crazy since i started rotaitons. i am doing about 12 hr days on average, sometimes less and sometimes more. i am all over the hosptial, admits, er, icu etc. i do everything the doctor does and i feel like i am learning a lot!! it is hard work but it is pretty great and i feel lucky to be with such a great doctor. i have a break this week though because my doc is at a conference. i am taking the time to catch up on some school readings, school papers and some research for some of my docs patients. i also bought a car! whoa i know...a 2010 subaru forester. crazy! other than that i have nothing to report.

interesting things i have seen in the hospital: drainage of a perianal abscess (sick!), sinus transverse totaltis, the swine flu..ohhhhhh, a super high serum calcium (18!) for no reason at all (this is one of the cases i am researching seeing what i can figure out), klienfelters, and lots of other things!

First week done of FM1! It was actually really great...although I worked on average 11 hour days, which is fine I just get really tired! I have been doing H and Ps, orders, discharges, progress notes and all kinds of other things. It is really busy, but I at least am getting way more comfortable just talking to people about their problems! I love this soo much more than school..haha

Finished my boards!! Feels so good! I just hope I passes so I dont have to redo it!

Here I am...about two weeks away from boards. soo scared.  not sure what to read next..micro, pharm, path ??? just so many options.  kaplan has become my best friend over the past few weeks.  I just hope I can manage it all to pass! taking this test again would suck.  I think I am going to take a practice test either tomorrow or Sunday...well not a full one just a half one (I already took the full practice one our school offered to us).  I can't wait til this is over, I start my FM1, which I just found out is here so I can stay with my boyfriend for a few more months and it also counts for my RHEP!  My posts should become more exciting after this test is over and I actually start working

can't wait to see this..
