"Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn." --Albert Einstein
Nicole, MD
I'm no longer an expatriate. I started my 3rd year of medical school in Miami and have finished my first set of medical boards, which I passed! I've been to the little island of Dominica and Miami. I completed my Family Medicine, OB/GYN and Internal Medicine clerkships while living in the beautiful city of Miami Beach, FL. I moved to New York City in the beginning of August 2011, passed my second set of boards and finished rotations in Astoria, Queens in December 2011. I have not been posting as much as I have been extremely busy. It is hard to believe that I finished medical school, landed a pediatrics residency and that I'm finally Nicole, M.D.

Cold Front
Yesterday it was 60 degrees for the high in South Florida. Now, I know 60 degrees doesn't sound too bad to all of you up north, but I've grown accustomed to the 90s with about 99% humidity. It felt downright frigid. Today, our study day off, I was planning on going to to pool to read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. However, mother nature had another plan: it was in the lower 70s. Now, I know I can't really complain too much, but I look forward to getting outside and enjoying Miami every Monday afternoon for a couple hours, so I was a bit disappointed today. I'm sure it will be back to the normal 80-90s the rest of the week--when I'm indoors studying for the USMLE step one exam. Speaking of the Step, I've put in my final date (the step is an application process in and of itself, which I started in July). It's getting down to crunch time!
