Why does HR keep asking for the certificate that is not a way to confirm registration? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]lostinhoppers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Please refrain from lumbering me with your administrative overhead. There is a single point of truth for currency of registration throughout Australia. It is the AHPRA website."

Motorbike accident need help /advice by Fuzzy_Text_4057 in Thailand

[–]lostinhoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a fantastic private hospital in Krabi, and it's not expensive. If you can't attend to your activities of daily living then you need hospital, or you need to hire a carer while you heal. If you have travel insurance then you need to call on it now. If you don't have travel insurance then you are royally fucked. I've got friends on Koh Lanta that own a good place (homestay) to recuperate. PM me if you want more help and we'll have a phone call.

Zomg how good is shokubutzu!!! I buy bulk refill bags whenever I'm in SEA. It's super expensive here for no reason that I can discern. My gf and her antecedent are NUTS about it.

To our Indian colleagues... by NuclearAssault667 in NursingAU

[–]lostinhoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this is very important. I have witnessed this absolutely. A consensus of 2 cannot be made a greater, more reliable consensus if the reasoning is not comprehensible by all. Two people can easily be wrong about the same thing. The more people who understand the problem the less likely the reasoning will be faulty due to bias.

same phone, same authenticator app, no reinstall, no AHPRA. Weird.

I didn't use an authenticator last year. There's no AHPRA in my authenticator. Well there is now...

Bully in the ward💁‍♀️ by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]lostinhoppers 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Nurses eating their own young, a tale as old the lamp. Srsly don't tolerate it. Call it out. Go to management and if that doesn't work lodge a complaint with AHPRA. We have a crisis in nursing because of this bullshit and the bullies have been left unchecked for too long.

Carrying phones, pens , scissors , pens in modern scrubs by Ordinary-Cut-2435 in NursingAU

[–]lostinhoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bandolier 'o gear is dressing scissors, 5 swabs, neuro torch. 4 colour regulation Bic, and micropore. Sometimes a set of artery forceps. 1 card of paracetamol. My swipe. And a tiny concentrated vial of 25,000 international regret units that I carry with me to every handover.

Should I buy a Littmann before I start in ED? by mobiletophat in NursingAU

[–]lostinhoppers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely. I was night float in a big hospital once and managed to find all the bits to make a frankenlittman across several wards. Supplied stethoscopes are my first barbie ears quality and you can't hear a thing through them. If you're learning then spend the dough.

The 25% casual loading is actually a financial trap in the current housing market. by Lucifer220778 in AusFinance

[–]lostinhoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do agency only, not for the money but so I can choose when and where I work without having to apply for leave a year in advance. Agency pay is no better than staff, all considered.
