Medical School Closed?! | VLOG

[@RachelSouthard]

Like this comment if you were here for the first time this video premiered hahaha

[@katecupino918]

Rachel Southard Yay I’m considering this as a present for my birthday today 😊 Btw, just left NY (via car) and all of Broadway is closed down as of yesterday so you’re not missing out on much

[@sandraquiroz4193]

Rachel Southard YESS I WAS!! Right in the middle of the fast 💨 montage of you making coffee & it all went BLACK! I thought it was my phone messing up 🙈

[@RachelSouthard]

@@sandraquiroz4193 OMGGGGGG i'm so sorry!

[@RachelSouthard]

@@katecupino918 happy birthday! Sending you lots of love!

[@katecupino918]

Rachel Southard Thanks!

[@emilyzanzola6651]

It seems like you’ve been gaining a lot of followers so i would LOVE if you could do a q&a or something talking about yourself? I’m a new follower and I want to know more about you!! How old are you? Where are you from? Why are you in med school and what do you want to do after school? What is the herd and how did that come to be? How many roommates do you have? I just feel like now would be a good time to suggest this since you said you don’t have much to film with school being cancelled :) Also I can already tell that the coffee montage clips get better with every video! :)

[@Kim-cj2fl]

this whole thing is so surreal...my nursing program transferred to completely online today until further notice as well...including labs and clinicals... its all so crazy. I hope it doesn't last long :( as you know, there is no replacement for hands-on clinical practice

[@Momo25803]

same but were doing clinical assignments and lab stuff by phone call/ a ft thing (weird). they're just calling and giving us case studies I think and asking what we would hypothetically do for the patient. apparently it works as a clinical replacement for the accrediting agency?

[@marzi8706]

Same here, I dont know how we're supposed to do our labs so I'm kinda stressed out

[@laurennichole161]

Our vet school just moved everything to online as well, even the rest of our anatomy lab. Should be interesting for sure..

[@katerinamudrova7928]

Europe's a mess as well. In Czech rep. they closed all schools, borders with Austria and Germany, you cant leave the country, attend any 10+ people events and I think they are planning to close all shops except for grocery s., drugstores and pharmacies as well. The gov. is trying to avoid an Italy type scenario at all cost. And I had some really great courses this semester ...

The corona virus came at the worst time for me- final year of high school and school is closed so I need to teach myself all the content

[@veronicab1634]

In all honesty, that will be great practice for college! I teach myself every subject from organic chemistry to calc

[@sprinkleofBella]

Larisa Morozova it’s ridiculous they should be closing school etc or at least test people more cause not many are being tested for the virus despite showing severe symptoms

[@Nellie500]

It’s so weird watching this vlog now after seeing how COVID has progressed the last few months, when this started we never thought it was going to end up like this

[@danielbuenconsejo3619]

My med school here in the Caribbean just moved all classes to online and allowed us to go back home. People were on the plane within hours of the announcement lol

[@Phil-dx8rw]

I am curious as to what can and will be done for students in their clinicals as many are being pulled from clerkships

[@sophielipson3339]

My medical school is also doing online classes for the rest of the semester. Canceled the clinical portion of our curriculum. Saying goodbye to everyone this week was awful, but it's the right move from a population health perspective.

[@bed2000]

We’re doing distance learning here in nyc, it’s so weird. I’m kinda sad because my microbiology lab was so fun! it won’t be the same online but oh well, health comes first

My college in NC extended our spring break by a week and classes will be moved online after that, no idea how labs are about to work and my music minor recital that’s supposed to be at the end of the month might now be closed to the public and just live-streamed!

[@michaeldurrant6529]

[@muzicsmycrush]

Its my last year in college and we have finals this week, all of which are online! Our spring quarter is officially online and they are probably going to cancel our college commencement too :( About to get my college degree via Zoom lol

[@heyitsmecassidy]

My graduate program also told us TODAY we are moving to online! They said we are also using zoom, sucks to hear that the site crashes I was worried about that :/ I was just like you and super stoked about the transition, worst part is we had multiple exams lined up this week and I’m worried it’s going to be a disaster

[@rijakhalid9011]

Rachel I started Medical school around the same time as you did and honestly it has been quite a rollercoaster! I'm glad to see that you're getting a hang of things. At the same time my emotional breakdowns are also becoming less frequent haha. Keep going!!

[@kayla3055533]

Could you do like a mini segment of one of your videos on the logistics of living in medical school in regards to health insurance, living expenses etc?Love your videos and would love your perspective on these topics as I am a medical school applicant now!

[@fnespinoza]

My courses are also being moved to online, I'm from Mexico but I live near the border to the US, there are less than 10 cases in my city, but since we're so close and so vulnerable in the city, schools have started to close campus, for now, we will be like that for a month. In my university, we start until march 23rd and expect that our last day like that will be april 17th... 3 weeks of school+ 1 week of spring break, sucks for programs like medicine or engineering (just an example, don't freak out ppl) but these programs are very practical, meaning that we have to be doing stuff and the topics tend to be hard, by hard I mean that is not the same when you get the lectures online rather than having the lecture on campus... well... in other words... IT SUCKS FOR EVERYONE. We should all be united, between countries and cultures. :(

I'm planning on applying to medical school this summer, however I've been hearing that MCAT dates are getting cancelled up till May (my date) so I rescheduled the date.... but it's nearing app deadlines for med schools. I really hope they accommodate and extend deadlines or move the app period.

[@annacastro8395]

Huhuhu lucky! You guys had your finals! We were supposed to have exams but then our president announced a community-wide quarantine and class suspension for a month. So we're gonna be lacking one exam on our grade so it will be harder to bring up our general averages :(( I'm honestly wondering how this will affect the quality of our education.

[@nancyjohnson50]

My daughter’s medical school cancelled Match Day. They cancelled the celebration after and her graduation will probably be cancelled also. It’s so sad!!😭

[@nataliavilloldofernandez9397]

How are you going to organise and motivate yourself to avoid being unproductive? In my country, med schools have closed too and it looks like they won't reopen for awhile, we're all in a limbo like-situation in which our schools are trying to figure out what they're going to do with our teaching... but meanwhile we have time to do some catching up with our studies, the issue is that there's no deadline whatsoever, so it's kind of easy to end up doing almost nothing....

My nursing school has gone 100% online as of today. They’re trying to get us to do our clinicals this summer depending on how long this will go on

[@saadiaali2607]

Will graduation for you guys be held back if you guys are doing clinical hours in the summer?

[@heidievans6336]

My school closed too. I'm freaking out but trying not to because I'm totally a visual student in so much as I have never done an online course, and now all of my courses are being transferred into the online format until 4/8 or maybe even till the end of the semester. They are going to re-evaluate the situation to see how necessary it is to continue the isolation protocols to prevent COVID-19. Kinda irritating honestly but I get it about the isolation thing... I think I would be a lot less anxious if I had ever taken an online course before... Ack...

[@alvinstjohn8363]

My university just ceased all face to face learning. So now we're going to have all online learning. It's going to be so weird...
