 What's up you guys, alright so I wanted to give you some exciting news, some really great updates on what's kind of been going on in my life. I've been doing a lot of PA education about, you know, getting into PA school over the last couple weeks and some of the things that you can expect in terms of like salary and best places to live. But let's get into a little bit more lifestyle stuff, my lifestyle as a PA and maybe what you can expect when you decide to go into this profession. So let's get into the video right now. What's up you guys, sit down and welcome back to my channel. So as I said, I wasn't really excited about it, but I'm going to tell you guys in a little bit. I just wanted to talk to you guys really quickly, it's going to be a very, very quick video about what's been going on. I know some of you guys have been asking why I haven't been posting as much on Instagram because I've been busy, I've been doing a lot of things outside of social media in terms of like my career and profession and the path that I want to go on. So you know, trying to work on GTCU and that model and see how it can mold and meld to better fit you guys' needs. So if you're interested in consultation sessions, personal statement reviews, mock interviews, please head on over to GTCU because you do not have to be a member of GTCU to take advantages of those services, okay? But in the upcoming weeks slash months, that may be revamped where you can just pay a one stop price and get everything all inclusive in terms of like virtual shadowing and you know tests and you know other aspects of GTCU that we have to offer. So stay tuned for that, but check GTCU out. I'll leave a link for it in the description box and you know you can see the website right here. All right. Now with that being said about all my stuff, so I wanted to talk to you guys about the exciting stuff that's going on in my life. So I am officially no longer primarily a trauma PA. I know it's sad, I love trauma in terms of all of the aspects of things that I've gotten to learn and do as a new grad. It was amazing, it's crazy that I even got into the profession, specifically that specialty, but you guys know where my heart has been, where has my heart been? Y'all, my heart has always been with women's health and I am officially, I started a few weeks ago, but like officially, officially started last week, I am officially primarily a women's health PA. Now what does that mean you guys? That means that I am happy y'all because it's also difficult to get into women's health directly out of PA school and I mean that goes to show because I didn't get into a direct out of PA school. I had to wait a few years before I can get into this particular specialty because it's all about experience and so with that being said, I'm really excited for what you know God has to offer, like what this landscape has to offer. Because women's health is so broad, you know, there are various different aspects of women's health that you can get into, you can do like the endocrine or reproductive health, you can do your more like office, like outpatient stuff where you're seeing women with their like daily issues, you can do more of like the fertility side or infertility side of women's health and then you can also do what I am doing which is the inpatient side. What does that mean for me? What is the day of like an inpatient OB-GYN PA look like? Now it's very similar to my days as trauma which is what I really love. I'm still on the 24 hour shift. Thank you Jesus. I'm so happy about that because that 24 hour PA shift you guys like allows me to have a lifestyle that I have grown a cup of stim too, okay that I'm really, I really enjoy. I enjoy like going in for 24 hours and then having three or four days off and then going in for 24 hours and having seven to nine days off like it's nice, okay. It's very nice in terms of how I can plan my life, plan vacations, plan time with my husband, you know, plan time with my friends, travel which is something that I am now loving to do. So it's nice. So I still get to do 24 hour shifts however there is more I would say OR time than I had when I was a trauma PA because in trauma we are, we have a residency program so there are a lot of general surgery residents on our service therefore they get priority because you know this is what they're gonna do, they're gonna be surgeons and they need to know how to operate in the OR. So a lot of like all of the daytime surgeries they go to and then if they're on call they would go to the nighttime like emergency surgeries however when they're not on call that's when we as the trauma PAs would go into surgery. Now with that being said like as far as it goes for the OB-GYN PAs like we have schedule C sections and you know we have like emergent GYN procedures and or procedures that weren't necessarily scheduled but you know a woman comes in it's like yeah you know I want a tubal ligation or something like that. So those are things that are typically involved in our day so when I come in as an OB-GYN PA I will get my sign out like we did with trauma however there may be C-section scheduled for that morning so I would immediately go to C-sections and then my day starts in terms of like rounding on patients making sure patients are ready and prepared for discharge in the upcoming days and then just also fielding consults which is again what we did with acute care surgery which encompasses trauma and general surgery. So still very much what I did before just a very you know little nuances a little different here and there but I will show you guys a day in the life of an OB-GYN PA. That's me very very shortly after I get my feet kind of wet and you know learn learn exactly all the things that I'm expected to do but that is the exciting news I am an OB-GYN PA I'm very very excited about this I'm very excited to share this with you guys it's like I said I showed you guys how easy it is to switch special specialties and it is very easy to switch specialties especially if you are in man there's a lot of sp sp sp sp in that but especially if you are in the same hospital system and you've been there for a while it's very easy to switch across different service lines and you know lots of people have done it there's been people that have gone from trauma to ICU or trauma to neurosurgery and and vice versa and so lots of lots of switching in the PA profession so that you can get different fields of different things and also you can you know maybe your lifestyle changes and so you want to work 12-hour shifts versus 24s or you only want to come in on day shifts like whatever the case maybe there is a space for you as well so thank you guys so much for watching if you have any other questions for me go ahead and leave them in the comment section below you know if anything has arisen or arisen go ahead and drop a comment or a question for me if you haven't already done so like this video follow me on Instagram at adana the PA and on Instagram I get that's the University where we help you not only get to it too but through PA school okay and we do that through mock interviews and consultation sessions and personal state remit reviews okay so go ahead and check us out thank you guys so much for watching I will talk to you guys next time
