Nicole Syder, MD

I really had a dream and went for it with all my might. I’m so so so proud of me. Waited my whole life for this. Dr. Syder in 4 short weeks 🥹❤️ I’ve linked my @medgradwishlist below for anyone who would like to support my transition to residency! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

@kwablaMD DAWG 😂😂😂

Today my dad asked me if I do surgery. Sir I’m in my last year of Peds residency, we should know this😭😭

@BGalloMarin @StanfordMed Ahhh Stanny! Looking regal as per usual lol. You’re gonna love it!

@carolsanchezmd Next Monday night will be my last one! One more weeeeeeeeek. You?

@NCSyder We’re twinsiessss. When do you finish?

I’m 100% sure night shifts are the most unhealthy thing for your physical and mental health

@Dr_amoytheemd This is ridiculous. Done!

@AlmostYourFavMD Oh my goodness Jai I am so so so sorry. Sending you so much love and praying for your comfort 🤍🤍🤍

@KadijahPorterMD I hear you! Thank you, Dr. Porter 🥹 DEI initiatives have given me mentors and advocates who have truly guided me on my journey

@NCSyder Na. You matched because of your grit and perseverance. No one allowed or gave you anything Queen. For a black woman to get ANYWHERE best believe she’s OVER qualified.

As a resident training to be a Dermatologist, this hits a little too close to home. DEI efforts have been integral in allowing me to achieve my dream of matching into Dermatology, a specialty extremely lacking in diversity. We have to push back on this. DEI matters!

@GinaJonesMD Look at mama! 😍😍😍

#dermtwitter, it’s been a while! I’ve been busy living the best chapter of my life as a mama 🥰 With interview season in full swing, I wanted to pop in and let anyone interviewing with UCSF derm know that my DMs are open if you have any questions ☺️

@Miazolam Thank you for the tips!! 🫶🏾

@NCSyder I recommend the following: at least one workbook (there are great ones on Amazon) more so for grammar than anything else, Duolingo to learn & practice new words, and *this is key** WATCH TV IN THAT LANGUAGE with English subtitles! Many Netflix shows & movies have this option

Can we talk about how I’m A) a doctor and B) learning my 4th language? Two things I truly never imagined I’d accomplish? Feeling really proud of myself rn 🥺

@Mrjenkins_MD YOU AND ME BOTH OMG 😭

I haven’t posted in a while! I’m surviving intern year, but I can’t wait to get to derm 😭

@DrVeronicaD Hopefully we just never look old. This will be a welcomed compliment when I’m 50 lol

@NCSyder I’ve stopped counting, until I actually start to look old, I don’t think it will ever end 🙃

Does everyone expect doctors to be old and decrepit? Because the number of times I’ve gotten, “You’re a doc? You look so young!” is getting outta hand 😂

@carolsdermdream Yeahhh it’s actually very twisted 😂

The fact that having two days off back to back is a cherished moment in a residents’ life is concerning lol

I’ve never been an afternoon coffee girl. I only drink it in the morning and I’m good for the day. But I think I might have to change that because ICU is running me ragged and I’m so tired midday 😭

My favorite patients have been my Spanish-speaking patients. They will continue to tell me my Spanish is great when I know it’s muy mal 🥲

@Dmo_wizkid @carolsdermdream I just got off 5 weeks and I absolutely did not avoid burn out 🙃

@carolsdermdream I’ve been on floors for 6 weeks straight. Please let me know if you find the answer.

I just finished 2 weeks of floors. Now onto 2 weeks of ICU (VA icu so patient census is no more than 2 for me) and floors again for 2 weeks. Any tips for not burning out? Im exhausted already 😭

The amount of money (that I do not have) that I’m about to spend on Amazon Prime day deals is not okay. But I can’t just walk away from a sea of good deals 🥹

@thebasicpharmd Right!! I was already ready to burst and seeing those curtains when I got home really got me there 😂❤️

@NCSyder I would have cried too 🥹 people don’t realize how tiring those shifts are!

Had my first intern night call and it was…horrible. I had ordered some black out curtains to help me sleep after shifts, but hadn’t had the time to set them up. I just came home from the shift and my bf put them up while I was at work. I literally cried. I have a keeper 🥹
