Chunky Monkey · 26-01-2008 3:24am

Brilliant

I have reasons for staying here but I'm more than happy to accept the offer. I've heard the course takes some getting to used to but by second year the students just wouldn't go anywhere else. I'm so excited

maggie18x · 02-02-2008 12:35pm

chunky monkey what course are u leaving to do medicine?:)

Chunky Monkey · 03-02-2008 11:11pm

Hey Maggie

I left natural sciences in Trinty a year and a half ago. Just working as a HCA now

What are you doing yourself?

AmcD · 08-03-2008 1:04am

I am a young Northside GP. I have read a good few of the biology and medicine threads. Hopefully I could give a bit of balance to some discussions from a general practice point of view. It's good to read a couple of different viewpoints from different specialities/professions/public

cathy01 · 23-03-2008 6:23pm

TEH REAL CDP · 26-03-2008 6:31pm

Just finishing a B.Sc (Hons.) in Biochemistry in Galway, off to do a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience in october.

Interests: molecular genetics of...everything! but mainly (!) neurodegenerative disease and stem cell therapies, including reprogramming amongst other things. Have considerable research experience in bacteriology, diagnostic micro, cancer research (cell-cycle checkpoints), trinucleotide repeat instability and mutagenesis.

Vinegar Hill · 27-04-2008 8:37am

My name is Mike. Originally from Dublin but living in Donegal now. I trained as a States and have been practicing medicine for over 10 years years now. PAs work in conjunction with a Physician and have full prescription writing authority in most states. I have a M.Sc degree in Physician Asssitant Studies and am Board certified in Emergency Medicine.

Unfortunetly, Ireland does not have Physician Assistants so I am trying to figure out what else I could possibly do in the medical field.

Congratulations, Chunky! I hope it all goes well for you.

Chunky Monkey · 08-05-2008 5:07am

Although I do enjoy long walks on the beach....

Ok, I know it's been a while since I posted this but it is in need of a correction.

I was accepted for the foundation medical year program and will be starting first med next september.

That is all.

sunnyjim · 03-07-2008 1:26pm

Yo!

3rd Year Med Chem here.

Finish next year, and I'm stumped as what to do. Kinda looking at joining to Gardai, or studying more and entering the Dept. of Justice as a GIII Forensic Scientist, or Lab Analyst (probably the latter if I don't go on for further study).

Or else, I'll try for the QP program in Trinners or DIT.

ChewChew · 05-07-2008 1:45pm

Hi guys. . .

Hope you dont mind me throwing in my little bit

I'm not a doctor but I do work in a North Dublin hospital. I work in Bed management and I manage the surgical waiting lists. I thoroughly enjoy my job and really enjoy working with everyone involved in the health service. And am looking forward to getting to know our new batch of doctors who joined us last tuesday!

GlasnevinRed · 07-07-2008 9:39pm

Hi all.

The names Stephen. Just finished my Leaving Cert.

I'm hoping to study Human Genetics in Trinity next year. I'm fascinated by Genetics and science in General.
I would love nothing more than to work in a lab for the rest of my life.

Take care all.

sillymoo · 10-08-2008 11:28pm

Hello! Im sillymoo, also known as Paula by some. In second med in RCSI and glad to see Aoibhean and Robbie are here too

Interested in anything medical especially molecular medicine after the wonderful lectures from Caroline Jefferies and a stint in her lab which in finishing tomorrow

What will become of my HeLa's??? I dont know....... But we had fun!

allsaintssue · 14-08-2008 11:56am

I am Suzanne. I'm about to start 2nd year in a Bsc in General Nursing in TCD. Despite this my long term career goal is medicine and I have a particular interest in Cardiothoracics:)
I am a Triplet and live near the Red Cow. I do my placements in AMNCH.

I can't think of anything more to write so I shall stop typing now!

blue_belle · 24-09-2008 10:05pm

hi im blue_belle,
i got my perforated and badly infected appendix taken out over the summer and i spent a week in hospital, since then ive had an absess at one of my scars. i have spent so much time in hospital, a+e and at clinics where ive seen the same set of doctors at each, im obsessed with surgeons. i think theyre class, except the consultant and one of the registrars, but the interns and the SHO were amazing. i love (most) doctors. i would love to be a surgeon, but would never get into med school. so i think ill go back to the life long dream of being a paramedic. they are deadly!

oh and nurses are what keep the system together, they are amazing! but i wouldnt like to be a nurse.

so, hopefully ill get to be a paramedic some day!

Amnesiac_ie · 25-09-2008 5:38pm

I'm a second year medical SHO at a large Dublin teaching hospital. I'm quite disillusioned with the practice of medicine and specifically the HSE and medicine in Ireland. I'm being banished to a peripheral placement "down the country" for three months starting next Wednesday; that might keep my whinging at bay for a while! I'll be finished life as a medical SHO next June and where I go from there is still very much up in the air.

Emma08 · 11-10-2008 7:31pm

Hi im emma! im a 1st year general nursing student in UCC. I will be doing my placements in Cork University Hospital.

tallaght01 · 12-10-2008 5:36am

Ms_Nightengale · 14-01-2009 8:22pm

Hi all

First post..just discovered boards and seems like some interesting discussions and looking forward to joining in:)

I am in my final year of general nursing at present, am enjoying it but am planning to to do further study either in psychology or social work.

Gazza22 · 15-01-2009 5:02am

Larianne · 20-01-2009 11:00pm

sillymoo · 21-01-2009 9:30am

Edit:I also posted this in the wrong place. Thankfully im a bit more awake now. Tallaght, Indy feel free to move, point the finger, delete etc. ZZZzzzz........

BTW exam in 1.5hrs and counting.

sillygirl80 · 23-01-2009 8:19pm

I'm a medic, worked for four years in various medical jobs, now doing research. Medics do NOT belong in the lab!!!!! We break everything!!! (at least I do!!). But it has to be done I guess. No master plan. Still trying to win the Lotto :P

yerayeah · 31-01-2009 10:54pm

I'm a med student, should be studying at the moment but I'm lying on the couch watching TV.:p

Kernel · 04-02-2009 2:24am

I'm kernel, and I like medicine, although some of it tastes bad. I did a first aid course, and got good marks. I specialise in CPR.

persephone1 · 21-03-2009 1:52am

Hi!

I'm Steph. I'm a final year Biomedical Science student at UCC (only five lectures left and I'm finished!!! apart from the small matter of final year exams!)

RobFowl · 21-03-2009 2:22am

Should introduce myself after so much stroppy posting !
Trained short order cook, avid cyclist, ex NCHD (studied in UCD but did all my hospital jobs in the UK) and now a GP.
Have to say enjoy the banter here and have actually changed my opinions and practice based on research posted here.

PS Ireland has some great sections of the health service but some piss poor ones as well, am not a fan at all of the Drumm/Harney coalition which seems obsessed using their vast budget in the worst possible way

maxheadroom · 23-03-2009 9:02pm

I'm an intern in a large dublin teaching hospital.

Asmodean · 27-03-2009 2:40pm

me2gud4u · 31-05-2009 7:51pm

Hey,based on the exam results (will know next fri) but I should hopefully from next fri onwards be officially a 2nd med in UCD.

Toodles!

Pharmacist, 13 years exp.

mardybumbum · 09-07-2009 11:55pm

I should probably introduce myself already.
I guess I'm now a 2nd year med student considering I've passed my exams.

I luuuurve music and jamming on the old guitar.
I also appreciate a good pint of guinness.
At the moment I am finding neuroscience and the idea of consciousness quite tintilating. Fascinating stuff.

That is all.

hi all,

I'm John, did a B.Sc (Hons) in physics and chemistry in DIT. kinda hated the course, so went back to do a LLB in law in Griffith which I loved. Went onto the Kings Inns and I'm in the process of qualifying as a Barrister.

I plan on sitting the Gamsats in Dublin 2010 and hopefully going to rcsi

look forward to chatting to you all

purepwnage · 06-08-2009 10:38pm

) i suddenly became interested in medicine, im thinking anaestheiologist or surgeon

wayhey · 11-08-2009 2:34pm

Might as well introduce myself, I'm always skimming through this forum...

My name's Wayhey, I'm 18 and going into 6th Year this September... (yeah after TY I know I know I'm ancient...) Hoping to do Medicine after school, or at least something in the field of health care and maybe onto the GEP after that.... that's it I guess!

bythewoods · 17-08-2009 1:07pm

I'm finally happy enough to introduce myself here

Hi, I'm Jennie. 18.
I'm starting Medicine in UCD this year, couldn't be more delighted about that.
I might lurk a little less and post a little more over here from now on

tallaght01 · 17-08-2009 1:22pm

stick around, kiddo. And if you ever wonder how much of all that stuff you'll remember when you qualify...just try asking one of the docs on the forum the answer to an anatomy or an embryology question :P

Piste · 17-08-2009 1:54pm

Hiya, I'm Elizabeth, I'm 18 and going into RCSI (if points for UCD don't drop in round 2 >_>)

Boethius · 17-08-2009 10:21pm

Hi all, name is Boethius

never got around to posting in here but thought I should as am starting RCSI GEM in a few weeks
and will need all the friends/help I can get.

Originally studied mechanical engineering and worked very briefly in medical devices R&D up to this
which gave me a healthy non perverse interest in research

A Neurotic · 18-08-2009 1:25am

Hello! Liam's my name, I'm 18, and this morning I accepted a lovely invitation from Trinity to go study Medicine with them

I hope that I can contribute more to this forum as I get a bit more knowledge and experience down the line. For a couple of years though, I'll mainly be asking questions, I think!

whadabouchasir · 18-08-2009 5:17pm

Hi all,I'm going into 1st year medicine in Nuig in september(I think it's september anyway).So i suppose I'll be spending more time here from now on.
