@pediadatrician @iRise_NFT @responsiblekare Life experience in any profession definitely helps in relating and working with patients, and I think my nursing experience was a huge plus. A friend was in finance before becoming a doctor, and that helped him as well!

@pediadatrician I made the RN>MD switch, now an IM/EM resident. While having a program would help support many nurses make the transition, I agree with @responsiblekare that admission guarantee admission isn’t the right road. Non-healthcare folks who’d be great doctors are never accepted either

@alvarezzzy @Stanford Congratulations!!!!

Our poor city. Tonight is awful, and tomorrow morning will show just how devastating this is. Please pray for no injuries. #NolaTwitter #neworleans #tornado

Just out of curiosity, retweet if you were told by a teacher or advisor you couldn’t be where you are today.

@ForensicFeline Driving with my four cats for 5 days was an experience I have no intention of repeating. I would vote flying with them if you can make it work!

@MSaphenous I applied EM/IM, with both EM and IM as back ups. I am a Canadian IMG and wanted to apply broadly to help my chances. I matched EM/IM at my favourite program last year. DM me if I can help in any way!

[Amanda Ritchie, MD @mandimritchie]

@_kvelasco I’ve been there as well, and I’m sorry you’re still waiting!

@BethGay45 As an IM/EM resident, I love seeing the two specialties coming together in this thread. As corny as it may be to say, teamwork makes the dream work!
