WAMC: GPA 3.4 and MCAT 518
Edited WAMC:
cGPA = 3.4 (from previous biochemistry + spanish degree). My current degree (nursing), my GPA = 4.0.

Would you do it again? If not ICU... then what?
I was an ICU nurse before med school, and it was really working in the ICU that drew me to medicine (I'm now an m2). However, with as much as I hear about intensivist burnout and regret going into their speciality, I'm just wondering: would you do it again?
And if you would not go into critical care, what would you choose? Were there other things you considered in med school that you wished you had pursued?
I loved critical care as a nurse but I'm wondering if I'll curse the day I didn't...

Advice for obtaining research.
Hello everyone, I'm an oms1 that is really interested in psych and was wondering what else I should do to secure a research position. I have emailed 2 PDs near where I live and both said they will let me know if something comes up. I'm looking to do a poster or a presentation, I have too many bills to do a full project over the summer so I'll be trying to work to pay those.
I have experience as a nurses aide before medical school and had psychiatric patients so I at least have that going. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Txa
Did a search for TXA use, and we all know of its benefits in trauma, total joints, postpartum hemorrhage just to name a few.
In terms of total joints, wanted to see what other places do - IV, PO, Topical? All have shown similar outcomes. Single dose, multiple doses? If IV, who gives it - us or the preop nurses just before entering the OR? And biggest question - contraindications. If we don't feel comfortable giving it (history of CAD stent, DVT, etc) does the surgeon give it topical or...

Pharmacy Times Challenges and Opportunities in the Future of Health-System Pharmacy
Just sharing this post from pharmacy times. Challenges and Opportunities in the Future of Health-System Pharmacy. I was listening about 43 minutes into this video. It seems like they are just plugging pharmacist in where people are quitting. They said a doctor quit so they plugged in a pharmacist. Patients were not worried about quality but they are worried about access. They said they are doing pilot programs where pharmacist administer medications for the nurses. Is anyone...

Becoming a BSN/NP is harder than MD/DO
A current BSN student recently told me that becoming a nurse is actually harder than becoming a doctor. I asked why she said that, and she said because often times the nursing students at her school are the ones teaching the medical students.
What is your opinion on this, or how do you handle this kind of conversation? I just smiled and changed the subject.. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Non compete
Biden’s push to ban noncompete agreements could have big implications for health care
Noncompete agreements that prevent a worker from leaving their job for a competitor have become standard for many doctors and nurses.

IA back in 2019...am I doomed?
Hey guys, so I learned about IA from a post from a reddit about a student who had a meltdown because of his/her multiple IAs.
While reading through the post, I realized that I may have an IA.
Some backgrounds about myself. I am going to apply in 2024 cycle.
I graduated in 2021. I am taking pre-reqs that were not required for nursing school currently so GPA may change a little bit.
