For all of you who were praying for my boards several weeks ago just thought I'd let you know that I passed. I actually scored almost the same as I did on the first part of them a year ago (which is good...the goal was just not to do much worse). So thanks for your prayers. Also I have 9 interviews set up so far out of the 11 places I applied. Man it's going to be a busy couple of months starting mid-November!

So I finally did it...I have now applied to residency--11 programs in the Southeast:
Greenville, Columbia, MCG, Wake Forest, Charlotte, ECU, Vanderbilt, UAB,
UVA, Norfolk, Louisville.
Now I'll just wait for the interview offers to roll in :) November, December, and January will be an exciting time. I think it'll be fun to travel and check out these programs (at least for a little while...I hear it gets old by the end). I am excited about it. This month on the peds wards is definitely confirming my choice of specialty. I am loving it! I do dislike having to take overnight call again, but I only have 2 nights left and then there will be no more until July! Yay! Well off to bed...on call tomorrow so gotta get some sleep while I can.
