Yes and more, there was a report a few years back of a female Rn in Chicago making over $ 250 K with over-time, so yes its possible. The docs here were goin crazy when they saw what she made??
Here's from the Trib (and this was on top of her $92,000 salary??):Peraica unveiled a web-based database of the 24, 500 Cook County employees [accessible from Peraica’s campaign web site], which when Cook County Forest Preserve employees are added, will contain data on over 25,000 Cook County employees, including name, title, hire date, town/zipcode of residence and salary. The database will be updated and ultimately will include such additional data as overtime compensation for Cook County employees, which spectacular excesses [one nurse's overtime tab:$187,500] were written about in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune “Top of the Fold,” p. 1 article by Mickey Ciokajlo and Todd Lighty, "[Cook] County

Josh your only a **** stache away from following in your Pop's footsteps. Its truly amazing how a Med guy like yourself can manage to not know your limit when drinking.. and pass out while sitting at the bar.
Lets celebrate this weekend and find a good bar to pass out at. I'll have Zingo on call.
congrats!

Chicago and NYC are the two cities with probably the best med school and residency programs in the world!!! You get out of Northwestern and its "write your own ticket" city!!! They say the future is specialists, so something to consider too. Plastics doing hooters is always a nice route!!
who knows what i'll end up doing. but chicago is one of my favorite cities and i have tons of friends in the northern suburbs. met them all when i used to go up to a Camp in Eagle River, Wisconsin (Ojibwa) and worked as a water ski instructor and boat driver and such.
I suppose NYC nor Boston would be bad choices either. Then again, it is tough to beat Cali weather

Therein is the rub, the weather is so good in Cali and AZ that nothing gets done!!! Hey, you could go Hollywood, start doing plastics and buy us all a new car (in about 20 years after you do med school (x4) , residency (x2), internship, specialty (X3) , surgical residency(x2) etc etc etc)

haha....yah, that and the 91 octane we have. i guarantee i hit at least a 12.7 if not lower next month. If I had 93 octane and a solid DA, i'm confident that with tires i could get below a 12.4. Keep in mind i havent even gone to the drag strip since last December, and boy i have modded since.

I am looking into a Quaife once my other one is installed on MayBelle
and I see how that one works. There's quite a few used ones floating around. They say the Quaife (just ask the two Mike's) makes a world of difference.

Yes Josh, with those mods you should be outgunning my 12.7. I ran that on 93 oct with Pilot Sports and minimal mods. My biggest issue is traction. The car just spins out of the digg. I've had to abandon quite a few runs because of VHT wearing off and the track gets slippery later in the day. If you can hook with some form of drag radial, 12.4-12.5 is entirely possible.

Which mike's are you talking about? i know Hooley (also a Mike) doesn't have a mechanical LSD like a quaife.
and yah, you and hooley and i will definitely grab drinks when you come down here next

Well done Josh,
We are all dully proud of you mate. I know some of the dept heads at Johns Hopkins and it is a "Special Place". Plus, my wife works with two Cardiac surgeons from Mayo, another good place. What do you plan to specialize in?
Let us all know where you end up.

yah I'd like a Quaife, but with application fees (first round looks like its gonna cost me 1300), i'd rather hold off.....b/c i havent even gotten to secondaries yet, which will be like 70-100 per school.....times 36 schools (yes, i'm a little bit superstitious, one school per point on my test lol).....it adds up
Which mike's are you talking about? i know Hooley (also a Mike) doesn't have a mechanical LSD like a quaife.
Alumar I believe has a C55 with one!!
haha sounds good. sorry i made you feel that way, i had no intentions to do so lol.....to be honest, i dont even think thats a big deal. there is no rush. i wish i took my time and did more traveling, b/c i've never really been out of the country and i really want to go.
and yah, you and hooley and i will definitely grab drinks when you come down here next[/QUOTE]
