Online classes are so boring in my opinion. Many of my professors just talk for the whole time, they don’t ask questions, there’s no interaction between us. It has definitely made learning worse, and I feel like I’m not learning anything. What has been you guys experience with online classes? Let me know in the comments👇🏾✨• • • • • • • • • • #nursingschool #nursingstudent #studentnurse #prenursingstudent #collegestudents #medstudent #premed #premedstudent #pastudent #crnastudent #srna #fnpstudent #npstudent #otstudent #nursesofinstagram #nurse (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYhx97h4G0/?igshid=c7hok3amhocf

Hello all! Haven’t done an update in a while and figured it was time. I officially finished my first semester of PA school and am proud to say that I finished strong. I could not have done this semester without the help of my fellow classmates, friends and family. I never thought I’d still have health issues at 31 or be enrolled in a master’s program during a pandemic, but here we are. The running diagnosis I have right now is Behçet’s disease, but the NIH thinks it might be a Behçet’s-like illness (research pending). For now, I’m happy because the treatment won’t change even if the name of my illness does; it’s a lot of trial and error, which can be frustrating, but it’s the hand I was dealt. The magic combo of drugs that seems to be working for me (knock on wood) is azathioprine and Remicade. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I have been fever free for over a month! I also haven’t been hospitalized for 6 months! I wish I could go back a few years and reassure my younger self with a raging fever of 105 that I wasn’t dying, so if anyone comes across a time machine, help a girl out! All kidding aside, I’m so, so grateful for my team of healthcare providers. Between the NIH and Cedars Sinai, I finally have a group of providers that not only believes me, but continues to search for answers. I’m currently on winter break, which has been particularly long this year due to COVID (silver lining). I will be returning to misery (JK…or am I?) this Friday. Okay, perhaps it’s not misery, but it’s definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. During orientation, our professors warned us that there would be tears. Somehow, I figured it wouldn’t be as shocking when I broke down in tears almost weekly since they had warned us about it. It was almost as if the warning would lessen the blow of how difficult this program was, but I’m here to tell you that was not the case. The semester starts at an incredible pace, with 18 units of science and 2-3 exams per week at times. USC’s program is 3 years and I don’t know how other programs do it in less time. I know I will get through this and be better and wiser, but man am I dreading the start of spring semester. The comforting part is that I know I’m not alone in my journey.
As I have grown my Instagram page over the past year, I came across a couple accounts with other chronic illness warriors who were also in various stages of their PA school journey. Seeing someone like me represented in the healthcare community is one of the most comforting things to come out of publicly sharing my health journey. I reached out to each person individually and we started a private chat, which I appropriately named “suPAhumans,” and it gives me fuel to keep advocating. Shoutout to my suPAhumans – you rock.
Another wonderful group that has been on my mind a lot recently is my invisible illness support group. I joined this group back in May and have virtually met some of the kindest humans this planet has to offer. In December, life dealt a shocking blow when a member of our group, Jean, suddenly passed away. Despite having only known Jean for a little over 6 months, she became intimately intertwined in my health journey. Strangely, during one of our last meetings, we were discussing grief and Jean said that grief is one of the deepest ways to express your love for someone that you have lost. Having lost friends in the past, this struck a cord in me. I always thought of grief as a dulled sensation, where things become grey and fuzzy as you experience the hole that someone you loved has left in this world. I now view grief as a warm, yellow feeling of deep love and admiration that surrounds you in the absence of a soul that typically fills you with that feeling. Jean is the person who stood up for me when I was unhappy with a therapist I was seeing. She empowered me to find my current therapist, which has been life-changing to say the least. My favorite part of Jean was the way she listened; with her head tilted, she took in what everyone had to say, absorbing our most private emotions. Then, in an effortless fashion, Jean would dose us with words of wisdom that seemed to wrap the whole group up in empowering energy. She would leave me feeling invigorated and deserving. For those who knew Jean, you know what I am talking about. Ironically, my words don’t do her justice, but if Jean were here, her words would.
In an effort to honor Jean, I worked hard in therapy to process my emotions and take ownership of my grief as the purest form of expressing my love for this beautiful soul that has left this world too soon. My therapist asked me, “What do you need when you’re sad?” I was shocked to learn I didn’t really know the answer. How have I reached the age of 31 without knowing this basic need? I know how to support others who are experiencing grief, but I don’t think I know how to support myself. I don’t quite have the answer to this yet, but I know Jean would want me to discover it in her honor.
If you’re reading this, I love you. I probably should say that more often.
“Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.”

the great transition: pa-s to pa-c
“Hangry! Your patient’s throat is closing!”
“I’m on my way! Where’s my preceptor?!”
“Preceptor?! YOU’RE THE PROVIDER!”
Oh.
Oh,
FUCK.
I’ve been told by many PAs that the transition from student to provider is a steep learning curve. They weren’t kidding. The day after I got back from the Caribbean, I hit the ground running.
Admissions.
Orders.
Rounds.
Consults.
Meds.
Hospice.
Pages.
Adverse reactions.
Procedures.
ACLS.
Discharges.
Follow-up.
The responsibilities are endless, and the new information just keeps flooding in. Sure, I did some of this stuff as a student, but always with close supervision- now I’m the one making the call. 
When the nurses have a question about medication management, I’m the one who tells them how to administer the meds specific to the patient’s comorbidities.
When the attending wants an update,  I’m the one who provides a brief but comprehensive synopsis about the patient’s state.
When pathology calls with culture results,  I’m the one who determines which antibiotic to use next.
When the patient’s family asks me hospice care,  I’m the one educating them about the patient’s needs.
And every time I answer...man, I feel like such an imposter.
My 12h days are a roller coaster  of adrenaline, and I am crazy exhausted afterward, oftentimes falling asleep with the lights on, halfway through a text, and in the middle of petting Hangry Doggo. On more than one occasion, Mountain Man’s awakened me with, “Did you just fall asleep mid-sentence?”  
(I did)
It’s a lot, and I feel unsettled. I actually was a pretty good student on rotations, but being a provider is so different. Once I’m done training, I’ll be expected to manage 8+ critical care patients at the same time- right now I’m feeling overwhelmed with more than 3.
One of my colleagues turned to me the other day. “Hangry, how are you sleeping?”
“I think that’s all I do outside of work.”
She laughed. “That’s how it goes for the first few months. It’ll get better.”
Man, I hope so.
Since I haven’t been at this for very long, I can’t really give a well-thought-out assessment of my job. But even though I feel crazy overwhelmed, for now I feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be. It is a million times better than PA school, and I’m happy to be working.

My biggest tip for future students is to go to a cheap school. Honestly unless that program has the exact rotation or some connection that you really want, it probably isn't going to be that worth it. Go to the school that you get a scholarship at. Being in student debt is not worth it. Are you happy with the school you went to? #physicianassistant #paschool #pastudent #nursepractitioner #nurse #mursing #medstudent #medicalstudent #doctor #surgeon #anatomy #pharmacist #physicaltherapist #greysanatomy (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1U0vwuBTIz/?igshid=f3mn861wus7j

Women’s Health
I cannot believe that I am six (and a half!) rotations through clinical year. We finish in July, and graduation is in August and suddenly everything feels very very real and soon.
My Women’s Health rotation was a dream. I was back in my favorite city (where I moved from to go to school, two hours north of my school city), and got to live with an old friend/coworker. I lived in my favorite neighborhood, where I walked to spin class every day, as well as for coffee, dinner and drinks, and groceries. It reinforced to me the importance of living in a city.. of living in THIS city. 
I’m grateful for yet another rotation where my preceptors clearly loved to teach, and showed patience and kindness throughout. Whether it was the chance to assist in bringing life into the world, or honing my skills with a speculum, this month provided an insane amount of personal growth. I was given the chance to second assist in several c-sections, to see my first vaginal birth (and several to follow, and yes, I cried after the first and I don’t even like babies that much!! haha). I had opportunities far out reaching anything that I expected a PA student be able to do within a huge teaching hospital system.
But let it be known, the real MVPs here are the patients. The women who allowed me to be a part of some of their most precious and frightening moments, who allowed me to perform the most intimate exams, withstood double exams for the sake of allowing me to learn, and took time to provide me with feedback and encouragement. Without you, we could never learn to be better, and for that I am so appreciative. Now on to rotation number 7, where we swing to the opposite end of the spectrum to end of life and palliative med.
Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that I finally actually did well on my EOR! I don’t know if it was how much happier I was this month, or the mere fact that I had already studied so much WH during Family Med and Emergency Med, but I felt like I didn’t study very much all month (I had one preceptor who constantly pimped me in the kindest way possible, so I did feel the pressure to be constantly improving). That, or maybe I finally found my groove. Let’s just hang on to that for Internal Med and Surgery, YEAH?
