Dr. Nicholas was a cook in the Army for 3 years and a medic for 3 more. She left the Army for undergrad (National Guard and ROTC) before attending medical school on the HPSP. She completed her OBGYN residency at Trippler Army Medical Center. Interestingly, she never saw herself going into her specialty, but ended up falling in love with it during rotations. Dr. Nicholas discusses the pros and cons of her specialty, and the importance of time management, communication, observation, and never saying “never” When choosing a specialty, she suggests going in with open eyes, figuring out what you’re willing to give up, and what you’re passionate about.
