In this video, I reflect on my first week as a radiology resident (R1). I recorded this to process the overwhelming emotions and document this raw chapter so I can look back and see how far I’ve come. The imposter syndrome has hit hard. I’ve found myself questioning my path, missing the familiarity of nursing, and wondering if I made the right choice. The radiology workflow and learning curve are intense and even with my RN background and a strong intern year, this transition is challenging me. If you’re a nurse thinking about med school, a med student starting residency, or just navigating a big change… this one’s for you.
