Oh, yes, go for it, specially if there's a green card for bonus involved!

But then again, why go for the PC when you can go for the PD! thats like 200% chance of matching. -Do I have to add a disclaimer that I'm kidding?

Well, how about getting your wife hired as a PC, then having the husband join the residency. That happened at one of the hospitals that we worked at. She started while he was in medical school, they worked together through residency, and then he finished, she quit and they went on their merry way.

Dear bbb is it normal for a pc to go to dinner with a person that has gone to an interview because in one of my interviews I was supposed to have dinner with a resident only and when I got there the pc was sitting there

Maybe the PC and the resident were dating and they went together? Have I taken a candidate out? No, but we don't take applicants out for dinner. Have I eaten lunch with the candidates? Yes, but not very often. Has a candidate taken me out? Yes (we met when I was in his city and he offered to show me around. It was very sweet)

well the resident and the pc are both females so do not know about them dating so the fact she went to dinner with me is good right?

Oh, bbb, no use... My husband is already in the "wrong place"... He won't get me a residency program working for a big machinery company... Although he can type very fast and is a very well organized person, he couldn't be a secretary, I guess. But he got me a green card and three healthy kids, I can't complain!  And tons of happiness. I wouldn't mind having dinner with the PC of the program I want (as well as the PD and some 3 more assistants) even at my house. They are so nice and cool and congenial, they make me want to belong there even more! But let me be aproved first (knock on wood!), I don't want to seem too pushy.
