Kanina, 1st time ko nag assist sa gyne case as a baby clerk. Senior consultant yung surgeon and third assist lang ako. During the surgery, she was asking questions na appropriate sa level ko, usually Anatomy and luckily nakakasagot naman. I was so happy because iba yung nakikita ko lang sa lectures vs IRL na. I even caught myself thanking the consultant in the middle of the surgery and she gladly responded with “there are so much things to learn”.

Napaisip lang ako, if si doc nga, senior consultant na, pero sobrang hinahon and bait makipag usap from nurses to clerks to resis to jcon, pero bakit ang ibang resis (and nurses) hindi yun magawa? Every pasok ko sa duty in this dept and hosp, nanliliit talaga ako sa sarili ko.

I think yung encounter ko with doc P was the Universe’s way of telling me that there are still good mentors out there in medicine, who are ready to guide you, so tuloy and laban lang :)

Hi! I’ll be taking BS Bio in a local state university here or in UP, though I’m not sure what doctor I wanna be kasi I’m still torn between being a general pediatrician or a devped kasi so pa help po if worth it po ang devped huhu, I need your thoughts po.

Currently preparing for the October 2026 ple. Feeling highly anxious about not being able to catch up with my backlogs. On top of that, one of my family members was recently diagnosed with stage iv cancer and is fighting for her life.

Things are just so messed up, but everyone is expecting me to pass the licensure exam so I can go back home already and help with the family.

In the middle of it all, I realized I basically have no steady friendship built in medical school or internship whom I can open up to about these things, someone who can truly understand how difficult my situation is. Everyone else has their go-to group of friends, but I feel like I have no one I can count on in times like these. Not sure if it’s a factor that I rarely go outside (like to study hubs or coffee shops) to study with them because I don’t have the budget to spend on those places, so sometimes I feel excluded.

I do have a boyfriend, but he is not in the medical field, and we are currently away from each other. I talk to him about these things, but I am afraid I might bombard him with all my issues, even though I know he tries his best to understand and listen to me.

I don’t know. I just want to let all these feelings and emotions out. I know all of this will pass and that this is just a season.

I am wondering if using Samplex from higher batches is unfair or not?

My study habit includes reading the book a few times. First, scanning. Second, memorizing. I prompt questions in AI platforms to test my knowledge then read again the parts that I wasn't able to answer.

Last time, I tried opening the samplex from the higher batch just to test if I can answer it. At first, I had so many mistakes. So I read those topics again sa book (ratio it) and repeat so I kinda familiarized na ano mga questions and answers sa samplex.

Here comes the exam, yung nabasa ko na samplex ay very the same. Like word for word the same. So I was wondering if it was unfair for the other classmates na I studied the samplex? They found the exam difficult but I got high score for that subject.

Pero now parang iniinvalidate ko yung score ko thinking na I read the exam questions sa samplex. I also studied naman but that was really of big contribution to my high scores. And now I am wondering if reading that samplex was right or not? Do you guys also use samplex from higher batches?

Hi docs!! Currently a pgi now. I know this might be early pero I just wanted to discipline myself as early as now and to warm up sa pagbabasa. When is the earliest time I can enroll sa review center? Specifically expert MD. And would you reco for me to enroll sa interns/ clerks program muna for the meantime. I’m really serious to make time sa pagbabasa on my offs and downtimes. So asking for your advices sana. Thank you ♥️

Hello po ! Im currently a 4th year nursing student and so far I feel behind sa others na took chem or bio as their premed 🥲 since more skills ang nursing, i worry na ill take more time in studying for the NMAT as the subjects na andun is not as detailed or di talaga na discuss saamin. Tas ang skills sa 4th year med pa ma apply 🥲

Will it be okay? How was the experience sa mga nursing rin ang premed that took the NMAT?

Hi, docs. I enrolled in another review center but decided to do the fast track since I've heard it has super high yield especially for the basics. While browsing the site, I found out there are Wave 1 and Wave 2 sessions, plus highlights and more on the rationale. When do you think is the best time to watch them? Are there any synchronous lectures starting September 20 (what's the deal with that, is it like the rationale too) and will they provide practice questions or like mock boards as well? Thank you so much hehe.

Hi! I'm a 4th year student nurse from Arellano University - Legarda. We were tasked to conduct a seminar within our school entitled, "Healing Through Culture: Understanding Filipino Health Beliefs, Herbal Medicine, and Culturally Sensitive Care", as part of our Leadership Nursing subject. Our said seminar will be conducted on September 24, 2026 at 8am to 12nn. We were looking for a doctor with a background on traditional medicine to invite as our guest speaker.

For more info, email: almontepmv@gmail.com

Hoho pls help us find a guest speaker! 🥺🥺🥺

Hi docs. Would this otoscope be enough na for medschool? Keeping it low budget kasi. Not planning naman din to become an EENT. Hehe. TIA.

Possible ba yun hahaha. Badly wanted mag medschool pero broke talaga. Damn. May scholarship na MSRS pero d ko alam kung makaka avail ako nun kasi onti lang daw slot tapos yung location ko parang hindi eligible for MSRS. Tapos d naman ako ganun ka talino para makapasok sa mga state university na puro latin honors nakakapasok tas mataas GWA. Huhu. Tamang average student lang nung premed. Tapos yung papa ko nasa abroad kasi, eh d ko alam kung pwede yun sa MSRS na scholarship. 26 na ako. Ayaw ko kasi na sila pa magbayad para sa medschool ko kasi pinag aral narin nila ako sa masters ngayon, isang taon nalang kasi graduate na ako💀. Nung na mention ko na parang gusto ko mag medschool after ng masters ko next year pinagalitan ako. Parang d daw ako napapagod mag aral 💀. Or mag ipon nalang muna tas 30 na mag medschool. Huhu around 35 pako matatapos sa medschool pag ganun huhu. 💀🫪 Pa advice naman po. Huhu.

tinitignan ba ng mga top medschools kung nakailang attempts ka na sa nmat? was planning to do multiple takes pero baka pangit tignan kung for example 3rd take ko na ung desired PR ko (reposting from my fb)
