Where are you getting this 4000 hrs number from? I’m a MD and this isn’t even remotely correct and the number seems to be pulled out of thin air. Comparing a 2 year PA program with…

It would make logical sense for it to function like that, but go ahead and test your theory. You will quickly find most places happily continue service for a while while sending bi…

At my hospital the nursing UI of Epic is absolutely horrid. It's cluttered and confusing with multiple places to document everything. Epic is completely customizable, but the peopl…

Vancomycin is used routinely (at least in the three hospitals I work in) and it is far from a last ditch drug. That has shifted to Linezolid and Daptomcyin. In the three hospitals …

My current schedule is 12 days on 13 hour shifts followed by two days off. Resident physicians get screwed and only recently were 'limited' to 80 hour work weeks. I would love even…
