Actually just thinking there, is there already a nursing ball?

Chick

Mainly all girls though!

DrIndy

And me........ I was invited by the third years........ Priceless night out, I won the bubbles by leaping up to the stage before everybody else.

I helped set the society up so am super proud its kicking off.....

So tempted to put incriminating pictures up right about now...

Chick

Of Indy at the nursing ball? oh were you there too?

No wasn't there, just random incriminating pics of indy!

Of course then there's so many pics of me floating around the place. That and rumours. I hate rumours.

Chick

Incriminating eh... hmmm

Yeah rumours are worse than pictures because you haven't got proof to confirm or deny it!

not exactly, more just other stuff. ah well, it was a good few years while it lasted.

DrIndy

I'm going to the inaugural meeting anyway later this week - chick if your're going, I'm 6', skinny and with a donegal/scottish accent......

Nursing nights out are priceless! You guys are so cool..........

Kevin_rc_ie

indy,

what do you do when you finish college? work for a year in a hospital, decide whether you're going to med or surgeon and then get trained up? my mate told me you dont become mds straight away unlike the usa. ...

DrIndy

We don't become MD is ireland - we become doctors aka MB's.....

Its semantics, in america medicine is a postgrad course so everyone is a POSTGRAD Doctor whereas we are BACHELOR doctors here.....

I am still equally qualified however.....

I do my one year internship, 6 months surgery, 6 months medicine and then specialise initially into Medicine or surgery (or psychiatry or paediatrics or obstetrics/gynaecology etc...) This is General Specialist Training....

After 2 years of that then I start my Higher Specialist Training after doing my Membership exams.

This should last about 5 years and then you do your Fellowship exams and become a consultant or other specialist.

I'm going to Scotland after my intern year because the training is better and its good to see how the health service operates in a different country.

I do intend to return however.

Medicine in America and Ireland is not comparable. In the USA you specialise from day one into medicine or surgery and you graduate as a "consultant" general physician aka Chief Resident (aka Dr.JD) and then you do further specialising into Chief Attending (aka Dr. Kelso).

I finish college in a few months..........

Kevin_rc_ie

well cleared up. thanks.

now if the gonorrhea would only do the same.

joking.

Agent Smith

who you catch that off?

Kevin_rc_ie

the internet. beware.

Agent Smith

dear god.....

Nietzschean

god does everything decend into drivel around ere ?

Agent Smith

it would appear so....

Kevin_rc_ie

Drivel
n.

1. Saliva flowing from the mouth.
2. Stupid or senseless talk.

Only when the expert mods aren't around to promote a regime of intelligent and insightful conversation.

Agent Smith

like what you were insinuating last night?
