    Perfect GPA ruined by 3 tenths of a point!

    It is frustrating but such as life. At some of my schools (5 so far), anything less than an 89.9 would be a B and hence 3 grade points. At others it would've been a B+ and hence 3.3 grade points (an...

    What MD speciality do you find the most difficult to work with?

    I've known several orthopedists as a patient and have found most of them to come off as pretty arrogant. One of them was a great guy. I've always suspected that the guys who were blessed with the...

    If you got C's on all of your pre-requisites, you'll probably find it difficult to get into a program and you may find yourself in over your head. You probably need to do some investigating into WHY...

    Thousands Of Doctors Secretly In Rehab While Practicing

    Hmm, this makes me wonder if the buffoon of a radiologist who misread by daughter's CT scan might have been reading it after a 3-martini lunch. Blurred vision is about the only explanation I can come...

    inverview question how would you answer?

    You should stay away from saying things that would be answers to illegal questions. They are not allowed to ask about marital or paternal status and you should not divulge it (though you're allowed...

    inverview question how would you answer?

    this is always a matter of debate and i strongly advise against responding with such banal answers. remember that the person asking the question is doing so for a reason and has asked it a lot. they...

    Tricky test question on nutrition

    I would argue with the "over thought" statement and say that you were doing precisely the right thing -- taking it down to the fundamentals. Understanding provides much better retention and...
  14. Up until last week I had been saying, "NICU for me." Now, having spent two days in the PICU with my kid, I think I might prefer that. I've just a heart for the young 'uns and I like the critical care...

    Tricky test question on nutrition

    Two things to consider in the carbs vs. fat taste debate: 1) Because carbohydrates are water soluble, they wash away very quickly so that their stimulation of the taste buds is very transient. 2)...

    I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    This reminds me of something: My wife was in L&D for 5 days and I wanted her to have a massage. I found a CMT who was also an L&D nurse. She knew the perinatologist and he was fine with having...

    Math...again

    The problem is, you've still got your dimensional inconsistency. 35mg x 60gtt /60min DOES NOT = 35 drops/minute. It equals 35 mg-drops/min which are not usable units. That's why I reason my way...

    "Serum osmolarity" vs. "Serum osmolality"
