I just started Kaplan ON Demand today and took the Diagnostic Test and scored 69%. I was really feeling lousy about it thinking it was a horrible score. Thanks everyone for posting your scores. I...
Agreed. I just couldn't make it happen because of my clinical schedule I had already committed to for that week. They also gave us less than four days to get there. Not ideal. But I thanked...
I live out of state as well. Unfortunately for the ER residency I requested a phone interview because the I had clinical days around every interview day and I just couldn't make it to Dallas on short...
Who is the recruiter? Was it the same as the ER residency? I haven't gotten an email yet but it looks like I might be getting a job here in IL but I really want to move TX and work for Parkland. Oh...
