Little doodle of Boss with his little cat because I love them very much! They really are enjoying each other's company. Boss probably would protect the kitten at all cost.

My roomie leaving to get fucked Vs me staying home to get fucked (Its just UWorld)

Some biostats information for the USMLE’s.  These notes I’ve made are the entire reason I don’t completely hate biostats anymore and I’ve been using them to teach others and revise stuff for my own exam.  Step 3 in two weeks.

More to come if anyone needs them.

I PASSED MY STATE BOARDS! GUESS WHO’S A LICENSED NURSE NOW! Meeeeee!!!!!

Idk surprisingly it was a really easy test. I was done in two hours and there was only 3 out of 75Q that I was completely unsure of. I thought. Would be harder. The practice exams on uworld were much harder.

My colleague paid the $8 to get the quick results. We were supposed to check together by the waterfall. She did it first I’m like fuck it I’ll pay the $8 and check too. It was so nerve wracking because the two preceptor nurses were around me and were like COME ON CHECK IT I’m like calm down let me breathe

My hands were shaking and I was hyperventilating. And then I saw it.

I WAS THRILLED. I gasped really loud and said I passed and my preceptors started clapping for me and then someone ran over and was what’s going on and they’re like she just passed her boards and they congratulated me too!!!

I told my family about it. My dad was happy for me and knew I was going to pass. My cousin did too I love her. My mom smiled really big. I’m so happy.

It felt so fast and surreal though. Like so much has happened this year for it to be over. I’m happy. I’m a happy gal.

Time to masturbate to celebrate. I have fucking work tomorrow lmao but whatever

They also sent an email about a 3% raise im like lmao okay whatever!

I PASSED WHOOOOOOOOOOO

I’m gonna be like haaaaiiiiiii I’m gonna be your nurse todaaaaayyyyyyyy.

I had so much anxiety and I still do because I feel incompetent but this shows that I can do it.

Had a busy couple of days. I am currently waiting for my official announcement for my course commencement. Until then I decided to tutor at a nearby coaching institute and I was kept busy, also it helps me pay for my Uworld.

Last Sunday I got a day off and I decided to meet my closest friends from school. We have know each other for over a decade and a half and our lives are so different now, but like every time we meet and hangout it feel like nothing has changed. So had lunch and decided to go beach hopping, while we reached the beach it was too sunny so we decided to wait for sometime, when we noticed this huge black cloud moving towards the beach from the sea. And our dumbasses were like yeah we ll go to the sea when the cloud comes closer because it will be less sunny then🤡. Long story short as soon as it got cloudy we walked towards the sea and the cloud bursted into a heavy 5mins rain and we all got wet👍🏽. Got my car covered in sand and rain water. Anyways had a good time.

Today I have an evening full of free time. Planning to read some neonatology. As I said before, I feel that I have a lot of unclear topics when it comes to neonatology. I am currently reading AIIMS NICU protocols, because I feel the language used is simple and I can cover the book faster and I feel that it will be enough for my first year residency.

Q- ''Would Boss allow me to pet his cat?''

The question must be 'would the cat allow you to pet?'

GUYS I DID IT - I PASSED STEP 1

Scoliosis for the USMLE’s

Scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine forming an “s” shape.  

Tests for scoliosis:

Scoliometry: nonspecific test but still used.  Angle ≥7 degrees (≥5 degrees in obese children) is diagnosed as scoliosis.

Better tool would be to measure the Cobb angle: <10 degrees is not scoliosis.  ≥10 degrees is diagnosed as scoliosis.  ≥40 degrees means they need surgical correction.

Further evaluation is required if the following red flags for a pathologic etiology are present:

Back pain

Neurologic symptoms

Rapidly progressing curvature (>10 degrees each year)

Vertebral anomalies on x-ray

We start with an x-ray of the spine to look for bone abnormalities but gold standard is MRI.

Hope this helps someone who needs a quick revision.

Studying for my Emergency Medicine shelf exam that’s in a couple weeks. Recently made the transition into 4th year and started my second rotation of the year - emergency medicine. It’s such a different approach to medicine than the other specialties I’ve had the most exposure to (Internal Medicine/Hospitalist, Family Medicine.) I really like the fast pace and constant activity although my sleep schedule is entirely destroyed 🫠

what fresh hell is this (for context, this is a bunch of answer choices to a practice exam question)
