Clinical Rotation hours

[ladybug1983]

I'd like some insight regarding clinical rotation hours/days, especially those that have completed clinical rotations in New York. What are the heavy rotations vs. light ones?

Surgery: 4:30-5am----usually 12+ hour days and call Q4..you have clinic on certain days of the week so not all OR time

OB/Gyn: I had mine split 2 weeks labor & delivery, 2 weeks out pt. clinic, 2 weeks gyn surg. ...L&D was 6am-5pm call Q4, Clinic: 8 am-5pm(you were still in the call sequence), gyn/surg: 6am-5pm(still in call sequence)

Family: 8am-5pm ...no call

Currently I don't have any loans, but I am working to improve my credit score. The only loan company as far as I know, is MedInvest, but their credit limit is 675. The school, however, is working on getting more loans for next semester and Im keeping my hopes high that something will be provided. If worse comes to worst, my father might have to take out a home equity loan, but we're praying it doesn't get that serious. I wish us all the best of luck.
