Have you ever come to a conclusion and realize that the facts are the facts?
Well, today as I was doing exams, pap smears, fetal heart tone assessments, I realized that no matter what capacity that I practice medicine, the most important factor is I need to make a difference. I thoroughly enjoy seeing patients, especially those in the motherly way. OB/GYN may not be the residency I apply for; however, I must admit, I thoroughly enjoy the connection that I make with my patients. The Girl Power connection is AWESOME...the funny thing is majority of the OB/GYNs, I've meet in this area have been men. I've only met one female OB/GYN...None the less, the ability to assess and offer solutions catered to the individual's need is special and rewarding...
So, no matter the end result of my exploration through different aspects of being a medical provider, I now have the realization that this is without a doubt My Destiny...and God willing, I will positively impact lives and improve their quality of care, as I take my place in this ever changing atmosphere.
Psm 27:13, "I would have fainted unless I believed I will see the Goodness of the Lord amongst the land of the living."
Keep expecting the realizations, the revelations of the Divine to unfold continually before you and without a doubt...You will walk in Destiny...
Now, go live your dreams!
I really enjoy your blog. You are very encouraging to those of who are wanting to become a doctor. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough( meaning strength, perseverance, determination) to pursue this journey. But then it's other times where I think I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me. I will be working as a nurse soon and that was a long journey and itself. It was alot of work, time, and determination to keep pushing thru. Becoming a doctor has been in the back of my mind for some time now, since high school (04). I'm at a point in my life where im not allowing negative thoughts to deter this dream, where now I have the confident to say " well I'm smart enough, I can do". To sum it all up, deep within, in my heart, I believe that becoming a doctor is for me. I just wanna say thank you for this blog and you are a very inspiring woman.
ReplyDeletePS. Im looking into Ross. Wanted to know after you did the 16 months in domician, would I have the option to apply or request to do my clinicals rotation in the state where I'm from? Mainly so I can be back home with husband and two daughters.
Nicole, there are currently several places to finish your core rotations such as California, Chicago, Michigan, New York, Maryland, Georgia...However, more locations are added all the time...After that, you can jump around for your electives...No worries it will all come together as it should...
ReplyDeleteYou first have to make the decision on if this is what your really want and .. focus on what you know you were Destined for...You are young...give yourself time to grow into maturity and when your time comes...NOTHING WILL or CAN STOP you...keep seeking....and you will find...
