    Graduated in May 2010, applied for all new grad OB jobs within a 2-hour radius...nothing. Got discouraged, didn't take my boards until December 2012. Got my first job a year later at a rehab/ltc...

    How do you spend your first day off?

    When I get off in the morning I fight my sleep until I pass out, typically before noon. Then I wake up between 3-6pm and am in zombie mode until about 10:30pm, when I finally become alert and...

  8. I'm not mad at nurses or anyone else, just the comments saying "oh I wish I only had 50 residents...." I don't know, it just really irritates me. And it was the biggest reason I left the LTC facility...

    Sooooo much debt already

    I definitely would have done things differently knowing what I know now. However, I received a great education and had a wonderful experience that I do not regret. This is how I picked my school....

    Sooooo much debt already

    My parents begged me to move back in with them. Having a car and job make it much more tolerable for everyone. I had to move 230 miles away from my boyfriend, which sucks, but we're making it work....

    Sooooo much debt already

    I didn't go to an insanely expensive school, but I was an out-of-state student up until my last semester. I needed room and board each year, which was more costly due to my request for a single room....
