I'll see you in the ICU!

updates... not much news here

God Almighty.

I thought I had two residencies lined up, but so far, one of them has turned sort of flakey, and the other seemed to let me slip thru the cracks (maybe they're not interested?)

I just finished the Kaplan review and though my scores were better on the exit exam than the diagnostic exam I took on entry...I'm still only "marginally" passing (not a nice, safe, slam dunk, if you ask me)

So.

I've managed to get the eye of two ICUs--one in South San Francisco, and another one in Santa Clara. The problem is two-fold: it's NIGHTS and the other is that Kaiser hospital seems to not give you an ICU placement without lumping in the Step-down obligation...so...I have to do step down in order to get to the ICU. Cross training I think they call it.

All this means to me is that I will get minimal time in the ICU as long as they can ship me off to the step down during a shortage.

WTF?

Anyway, I'm pretty unhappy these days.
I'm not ready for the NCLEX, I have no job...etc.

oh well.
That's what's up here and why no updates.
not much to tell.
