I was at a bar last weekend & a man asked me my age & what I was did for work.
I said I was 25 & hopefully soon finishing up to be a doctor & match to residency.
He said “25? Doctor? A doctorate of astrology doesn’t count, sweetheart”.
Anyways here is my CaRMS photo lol

Honoured and privileged to be joining
@MUNMed
Psychiatry. I am so passionate about the province’s Mental Health & Addictions program, and I’m excited to stay at home with my “work family”. There’s truly no place I would rather be. Now to remember to sign “MD” instead of “RN” !!

My high school guidance counsellor talked me into going to university. I was happy slinging pizzas & coaching figure skating. She knew what mattered to me, and said “if you get a good job… you can help out your brother”. Suddenly, 8 years of studying and overtime are worth it ✨

I adopted Lucie at 6 years old. She had some troubles, one being her 100+ lb weight. We started running, both for her sake and mine. A healthier lifestyle was the intention, but she started to shed weight anyways. Today she joined the 60’s club at 69.2 lbs. I’m so proud of her 🥲

When ppl see us, they often say “wow, you’ve got your hands full” which is my (silly) pet peeve bc I assume they’re implying that I can’t handle 3 dogs. Today someone saw us & said “wow, you’ve got such a big family” & that warmed my heart 🥺 I do have a big family. I’m so lucky

Lucie has a primary lung cancer with mets. I’ll be bringing her home this evening and palliating her the best way I know: with ketchup chips and McDoubles. She doesn’t have much time, maybe a few days. The is the biggest, and greatest, part of me. My whole heart has left my body.

Lucie Darling Drover
October 24th 2012 - February 24th 2024
Lucie heard her final rendition of “A Mother’s Love is a Blessing”, which I have sung to her hundreds of times, today at 1228. She passed peacefully away in my arms. I look forward to the day I see her again.

This is my fourth Christmas Day in a row working, I always volunteer because I don’t have kids or close family to celebrate with. But the mid-day sad feels always hit without fail!! (Don’t worry, I came prepared, brownies for lunch, this feeling will pass in 30 minutes). 😅

Lucie was at the vet today for minor complaints (being eleven is tough!) and is down to 64 pounds, from the 100+ that she started at when I adopted her 4.5 years ago. It might be time to start bulking her up 😅 we will keep walking and running as long as she still wants to 🏃🏻♀️🐶

Happy 2 year “Gotcha Day” to my littlest girl Josie. 3 dogs was easier than 2, mostly because Josie perfectly completed the trio. She fits seamlessly into our family. Of the dogs, she is the most cuddly and loveable. Life would not be the same without my lil lovebug 🐞💗

I think about this a lot. My close friend unexpectedly died. I coped poorly. Lucie was adamant that I cope well. Little did we know, she had terminal lung cancer herself. She stuck around 41 more days after this moment, long enough to get me back on my feet. We don’t deserve dogs

Lucie turned 11 this week! My sweet girl is as active as ever and is actually less than 3 km from beating the number of kilometres she ran/hiked/walked last year. We celebrated with a cake, long walk, extra special snacks, a chalkboard of her milestones and her birthday bandana🎂

I haven’t been to ortho surgery clinic in a year, since my last surgery block. Walked in today and several doctors recognized me & welcomed me back warmly. One doctor asked me how my brother was—did he make it through college, did it all turn out okay. It’s the little things 😢

Tildie has had to adapt to a lot in the last month: losing Lucie, becoming the oldest dog, and also learning to run. Lucie ran with me and so Tildie had to learn quickly to take her place. Yesterday was her first 10K. I’m extra proud of her. She has risen to every challenge.

People sometimes ask me how I walk 3 dogs, and the answer is *very* carefully lol. I try to convey I’m in control at all times — even though combined they weigh more than me and could pull me if they wanted to. Every walk is a training exercise. Anyways here’s the Girl Gang !!

Attached is the first photo of Lucie and I, from her first day home. The video is the video of our first walk, 200m to the mailbox. Who knew she’d run thousands of kilometres, complete several races and Tely10s, and become the absolute light of my life.

I’m no dog trainer & not every walk is a winner (ask anyone who has witnessed me struggling at Bowring Park). But most of them are. Treats in hand + constant verbal training does the trick for us. AND keeping Tildie in the middle, using the other 2 as blinders. She’s the puller😂

Lucie has gotten weaker. Not keen on eating, even less keen on walking. I spoon fed her sardines and bacon for lunch. I think I’ve rocked her and sang “A Mother’s Love is a Blessing” 50x in the last 24 hours. It’s hard to believe she was running 2 weeks ago.

Now by’s… you can’t be serious about this one 😐
Government of Newfoundland & Labrador Road User’s Guide:
Did you know that passing an amber light at an intersection has the same consequence as passing a red light?
Under the Highway Traffic Act in NL a driver who passes a red or amber light will face a ticket of up to $400 and receive 2 demerit points.

It’s been a hard day as Lucie has been sick, with an x-ray showing consolidation (best case is pneumonia, worst case is a mass). We’re treating her and hoping for the best. Her mood was definitely improved by the Valentine’s Day basket that came for her from Doggo’s Barkery 💝

I’m all for new infrastructure but SCMH is not a decaying hospital by any means. Not sure how many millions this will cost but imagine the MD/RN recruitment incentives, or LTC facilities, that could be offered/built with that kind of money.

The CRNNL confirmed for me today that I can keep my RN license while in residency and I’ve never felt so much relief. So many sleepless nights thinking about intern salary and “What if the dogs gets sick? Or the water tank bursts?”. I can exhale knowing there’s a safety net 🙏🏻

This is an unpopular opinion but I don’t think docs should have voice/say in the practice model for NPs. NPs have their own profession, licensure, standards of practice. I would find it just as unusual if docs started voicing opinions on the pay model of ward clerks.

You know you’re an RN in the MD program when you check the white board and count how many patients an RN has before you bother them/ask them for anything 😅 if it’s any more than 3, I’m just like “you know what I will do this myself”

I adopted Lucie when she was 6. At the time, there was a lot happening in her life.
She will be 10 in October. In the last 4 years she has lost 38 pounds and today… set her all-time fastest mile @ 8:40 and all-time fastest 2K @ 10:50 🥺🥇🥇 Go Lucie

👇🏻 something I never think to ask during my HEADS screening, and an approach I’ll definitely incorporate in the future ☺️
When talking to teens, I complete my HEADS screening with a strength-based approach, which I learned as a med student from Dr. Ginsburg at CHOP. My opening question: "what is something about yourself you're proud of?"
How do you respond if a teen says "I don't know"?

!!!! How many of my patients in MH & A have discharged AMA due to having a pet at home that no one else can take care of. Sometimes, the pet is the only companion they have. I’ve seen it so many times. We need a better way to tackle this issue.
If your patient is admitted to the hospital, and they live alone, don’t forget to ask them if they have any pets/anyone to look after their animals. This is a huge source of stress for sick patients, who love their animal companions 🙏

There are so many assumptions and generalizabilities in this post and thread that make me uncomfortable. Are you aware that 63/80 annual seats go to NLers? What is your understanding of the residency match process? Are you aware that you cannot match to all specialities in NL?

I’ve been trying to get 11 year old Lucie to slow down running due to her age, but today she ran her fastest kilometre ever in 5:13. Her previous fastest kilometre was 5:17 when she was 8 years old. So idk what to do with that information. She may put Tildie into retirement

One of my fav things about being the MUN RN is all the diverse students I meet.
A lot of them are fasting for Ramadan.
Is there a greeting for Ramadan? When they tell they’re fasting me I’ve been saying “Happy Ramadan!” but I don’t know if that’s right. Is there a better one?

This morning a colleague (from a different unit) had a hard time understanding that I could, in fact, access, manage, and de-access a port-a-cath because I’m “just a psych nurse”. I did go to nursing school!! I came home at 0800 and have been so fuming I haven’t slept yet omg

“All of the challenging life

resiliency that made me an excellent
candidate for med school didn't
magically go away when I got in.
Training exacerbated my
circumstances and my circumstances
exacerbated my training.”
I was so excited to be the first doctor in my family in spite of all the odds. I persisted through hardship after hardship and now it’s simply too much to justify the struggle. Medical training overall is just so so flawed. And it’s not at all designed for the underprivileged. 3/

I understand there is a lot of discourse around the future of NPs: FFS/bill MCP, vs. work under GP, etc. I don’t have an opinion. I just think educated adults with 2+ degrees should be able to make their own decision about their own practice model, & deal with the pros/cons of it

“don't work yourself to death because you feel guilty you're not working yourself to death”
Today, I made a student cry. On a panel for first generation and low income students, we were asked to give advice we wish someone had told us. The rest of my panel said great stuff: explore, be adventure, take chances. So I went in a different direction: try to lose your guilt.

I bought stain at CT last week, opened it today & it wasn't shaken, so I called.
CT: Come back w/ the stain and we'll re-shake it.
Me: I can’t right now, I have COVID19.

I am very familiar with the department. You may not agree with or like the answer I’m providing, but you asked a question and I thought I’d provide you with an answer. If you’re wondering why you see a GP first, it is because that is how the standard ER operates. Hope that helps!
