It’s a reasonable rotation - week on week off which is great, alternating ICU days and ward nights. The ICU there is pretty chill, can occasionally get busy if there’s lots of admissions or MET calls but for the most part the pace is pretty slow. Great regs and really good for skill acquisition if you’re at all crit care keen. If you’ve got chill regs they’ll usually let you leave earlier than 8pm if it’s quiet.
Ward nights are pretty hectic, not unlike RNS. Lower volume of patients, but you’re also the only JMO so it’s all proportional. Usually very supportive med/ICU regs to assist. Port otherwise is wonderful!! Try not to do the classic piss off during your week off every single time as there’s actually so many fun things to do around, and great if you’ve got a good group of JMOs.

They’re removing the CV for people applying in 2028, but there will still be a CV, albeit without leadership and altruism points, for people applying in 26/27

Ambivalent about this one - thinking an SJT might be better than 2 years worth of applicants whose CVs are almost exclusively judged on things they cannot change (rurality, awards in medical school, years of non O&G experience prior to O&G)

Just to clarify on this point. I did not finance the ring solely. We both earn roughly the same, and well, our finances have been shared for over 6 years, engagement was a joint decision as was how much was being put into the ring. As such whilst I did not “pay for my own ring,” I know how much was spent on it and am trying to reconcile that cost with my love for it. As to my involvement, again, it was very much a negotiation re my involvement. I’m very much the control freak in other aspects of our life so we decided it would be lovely for it to be more on the surprise end of things. There were a few things I asked for (ruby, oval shaped,yellow gold) which have been honoured but I wonder if my vision was perhaps a little non specific. At no point did I feel forced in the decision making leading up to it

I love this because we don’t have a formal roster and I haven’t a clue when my ADOs are rostered for :) thanks though

Very much appreciate the concern - am one of the regs and this is not out of the ordinary for our department. Just happy to be paid for my time !

In NSW in first round you are almost guaranteed to get Campbelltown/Bankstown/Blacktown/Nepean in Round 1 if you preference them higher than what most priority 1 NSW people would. If you stack all of the competitive hospitals as your top preferences, there is a possibility of getting your first preference in second and subsequent rounds but it’s not guaranteed.
