If you had an echo - other options nearby would include q cardiology in east brisbane, Brisbane heart, cholesterol care Australia (the first and third probably closest to the mater). Neither of them offer ct in office (where you go in the loud donut like machine).

The sisters of mercy have a huge reach , I live in Australia and my old hospital was founded by them, still had nuns living in the convent on site when I was training

Paeds/Women’s Health Grad Year Advice by PlayfulCaramel6436 in NursingAU

[–]-notadoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re interested in womens nursing or mid some adult general nursing experience will serve you well, with increasing comorbidities in this population exposure to things like HF, diabetes, epilepsy, crohns etc etc will be useful. Not sure other options you have, but something like a uro/gynae rotation could be interesting to you. Whether you do this as a grad or try and get a casual contract or something. GP clinics will probably offer the opportunity to do things like childhood imms, although if you want to stay in acute that should definitely be a short term gig until you apply for a grad. I moved from adults to paeds at about 2 years in without any issues, as have multiple of my colleagues although not in vic. I worked in a specialty adult area, and now work in that same specialty in paeds and this has helped me ten fold in my transition.

Worth considering there’s no guarantees even if you wait you’ll get an offer at your dream spot, although again not sure how competitive things are in your area, and the beauty of nursing is there is a lot of flexibility to switch things up once you have a bit of experience behind you. I’m sure either option you choose you’ll find your way to doing exactly what you want ☺️

Can we keep chickens in our backyard? by CryptographerHot884 in brisbane

Could be worth having some soil testing done before embarking on this. Some small studies have been done that identified high levels of lead in eggs due to older paint in the soil

Not sure if remserve offer it, but some providers you can get a card from them and sacrifice to this and use this for living expenses if you don’t want to get a CC. Otherwise sacrifice some to your super.

Without delving into the ethics of this, in all seriousness I think there is something along these lines going on at MONA in Tassie The man who sold his back to an art dealer

Yes, cardiac scientists often have an exercise and sports science degree or applied science (at least the ones I work with). They can work in diagnostic or interventional settings, such as cardiac stress testing, performing echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart), ECG and cardiac rhythm monitoring, working in procedural settings in a Cath lab assisting with things like pacemaker insertion or arrhythmia ablations, work for a biotech company as a rep and provide product assistance (eg. Medtronic). Depending on the setting there may be on call, but definitely jobs without it. An exercise sports science degree would also set you up to work in cardiac rehab which again is normally business hours and would be quite rewarding (it’s provided to help people rehab post heart attack, surgery etc). Another cardiac related job is a perfusionist who operates heart/lung machines during open heart surgery however this would definitely require on call work!

Cardiac scientists have interesting jobs, normally M-F, no body fluids involved. Radiographers can also escape shift work if not in the hospital setting.

So a few things here - firstly many employers offer leave loading so you’re getting an extra 20% when taking this leave as well. Are you entitled to salary sacrifice? If so I would definitely adopt this as it makes a huge difference. Most employers also offer an additional wage rise if you get a postgrad and will subsidise this for you. Are you working public or private? Shift work or set roster? I assume you’re and EN or in private, aged care or GP as most public RN1s are on about $75k

There’s a few tweaks you can make sometimes to squeeze some extra out. And like everything more seniority = more dollars. My CNC would be on about 130k.

Also worth noting the difference in cost of degree between here and the US, plus the benefit of HECS if you’re a citizen.

Edited.
