just-joe

My name is Joe, I'm going into my 4th year of maths in Trinity. I have over-analyzed my thoughts about studying medicine after graduating and so will take a year out to think about it, and hopefully get some shadowing experience (as well as to be prepared for GAMSAT/UKCAT and 8 years study in a row would be a longgggg time). But can see myself loving life as a doc.:D

I am interested in
Sports medicine
OCD/personality disorders
Neuroscience (did a mathematical neuroscience course this year was great)

I am also interested in
Judo
Guitar
Couchsurfing (Google it!)
Everything

Inflatable Rat

My name is Michael and I'm currently 27 years-old
I was a PhD student (2.5 yrs) up until the end of May when I resigned. My project was focused on Dairy Science. I hold a primary degree in Biotechnology and a masters in Biomedical Science. Medicine is what I want to do.

I'm doing the UK exam this September. I'll be better prepared for the Irish exam in March next year. I'd love to pass the exam the first go but the time constraint is my biggest problem. I hope to learn alot from this exam.

I've been in & out of this forum for the past year so I'm not exactly new here but I kinda felt out of place as I was just doing a pre nursing course. I am starting children's & general nursing in DCU in September so I'll probably be in & out a bit more. I just thought now would be a good time to take 2 minutes to introduce myself.

Hey Laydee Congrats on the offer I think I missed that over on the Maturies forum.

Laydee

Thank you
I am delighted!!! September can't come quick enough. I did mention it on the mature students forum but there's so much traffic over there these days that it would be easily missed.

I'm a doctor. A neonatology registrar to be precise.

Tallaght01, I am interested to know exactly what does the job of a neonatologist entail? I am currently in the 3rd year of my degree but am seriously considering doing graduate entry medicine after I graduate!

I originally wanted to study midwifery but ended up studying in the arts/humanities field. I've always planned on going to do it after i've finished my degree, I've also considered doing neonatal nursing. I kind of realised that my ambition is not so much just to work with women having babies but more just with babies and children.

I would like to work in the field of neonates/pediatrics in the future, particularly neonates. If I were to study medicine this is definitely the area I would like to specialise in (obviously I could change mind in the next few years but for now i'm sticking with this notion). I'd just like a first-hand account of what it is like from someone who has the experience. Would you please enlighten me?

cathy01

Just in relation to above, Im cathy, a mum to three lovely kids and , Im unique as I have K blood type and have had HELLP twice, ...This would be interesting to the midwifes on board..

Larianne

Ha, last time I posted in this thread was over 2 years ago!

Going into 3rd year Physiotherapy. Placement starting next week (hence on Boards procrastinating rather than looking over pre-placement literature!). Not sure what area of Physio I'm interested in really - there's so many areas!

Btrippn

Hey what's up,

I'm in my 2nd year of Human Health & Disease in Trinity , I love it!

My interest within the course are anatomy ,rare contagious diseases and nuerodegenerative diseases. I hope to study early onset Parkinson’s Disease for our 4th year research project.

I’m not quite sure yet what I want to do after the course , maybe epidemiology or postgrad med ,we'll see

Viral Vector

Hi guys i'm Viral Vector, was a bit of a lurker myself for a while!

I did Biomedical Science for 4 years in Galway and then I did a Masters in Neuroscience in King's College London last year.

I'm hoping to do GEM in Poznan this September, now i'm just volunteering in a hospital (+ teaching) to gain some experience in a medical environment!

stainluss

In my last year of a Business degree abroad and am considering doing GEM next year (ideally in Kings College London or UCD).

Realized during my studies that I get too complacent when pushing papers - it doesn't feel like my work is doing anything. Interested in the diagnostic process, the 'buzzing' atmosphere of the hospital and finding a speciality where new discoveries are constantly being made.

P.S. Does anyone know what happened to that loooong thread that was on here a few months/years ago that was based around the life of a doctor in Ireland? Was quite negative in places but I remember finding it fascinating as it was such a massive collection of experiences... Nevermind, found it

Laydee

Last time I posted in here was before I started first year and now I'm going into 4th year. I'll be a nurse soon! Of all my placements neonates was my favorite so I'm hoping to end up there when I qualify. I still have an interest in doing grad med but so much has changed in my life over the past 3 years that I would have to work for years as a nurse before going for it. I'm sure the experience will stand to me. Fingers crossed I'll be a grad med student in my mid 30s

Hope life has been good to everyone! Larianne, are you qualified now?

EoghanIRL

I see that this thread isn't that active but anyway ..

My name is Eoghan. I'm 17. I'm a first year dentistry student . 5 years seems like a long time but I think it will fly and I like the prospect of being a fully qualified dentist at 22. I also love the idea of helping people , making people feel better and educating people on their health . This is the reason I chose health sciences .
I have a huge interest in science and especially health sciences . I really enjoy physiology and anatomy and especially the clinical aspects.
I play a lot of guitar and exercise and occasionally I like to Rubik cube but not so much nowadays .

At the moment I really want to become a maxillofacial surgeon . I like seeing the graphic procedures everyone looks away from on tv and I enjoy studying health science so much that I want both a degree in medicine and dentistry . However things could change in the years to come but that's my end goal.
