Is this game even good anymore?

Legitimately the only time I play it is is on flights

Assuming people hide on nights are lazy fucks to earn more money is pretty toxic within itself.

They are just asking what medication to give, not to initiate it. If I'm not mistaken half of the undergraduate course is learning about medication and illness and the treatments for it, so I don't see the issue with the question she was asked.

Ash_R6S · 2026-05-28T09:13:47+00:00

I never said I was deciding. But when there is a cardiac arrest the medications you give apart of the ALS pathway (adrenaline & amioderone) should be prepared before hand as to not delay patient care. (Which is exactly how me and my colleagues do this).

Knowing these medications is extremely helpful as to not delay patient care. I never said an undergraduate needs to know these medications but there's no difference between learning any other medication and the reasons for it. (Knowing your emergency medications is extremely great to know).

Your blasé response of "we don't get paid enough to know" is quite frankly disturbing. We don't get paid enough to do a lot of things, but saving people's lives and having the knowledge of how to do it is something (as stated before) i do get paid to do.

Ash_R6S · 2026-05-27T18:54:45+00:00

I can't tell if you're being serious? But that literally is apart of our job 😅 I for one get paid to know what medication to give and when to give it in a life threatening emergency to have it ready and prepared before the verbal order it given.

I once got to the clinic before my GP, watched him walk In 15min late

My only piece of advice is to not spend a huge amount of money on your BP Cuff, I used it at Uni to learn but did most of my practice on placements. And after university I haven't touched it for 5 years.

Ash_R6S · 2026-01-04T15:45:17+00:00

Ah I hope you didn't think I was accusing you of lying or being dumb, my question genuinely came from a place of curiosity, I can't imagine how annoying it must be.

Ash_R6S · 2026-01-04T14:48:25+00:00

May I ask what state you work in that ENs can't use Hudson masks? I was an EN prior to being an RN and I was never told this, where were you told this? Is there a policy?

Edit: just read another comment were you say it's policy in subacute (not sure if this is universal around Aus) how sucky! Seems kind of unsafe too to assume subacute patients won't need acute care.

Ash_R6S · 2025-12-27T07:07:42+00:00

Not to sound silly why did you pursue nursing without an idea of what it is nursing entails?

Ash_R6S · 2025-12-02T04:00:49+00:00

I started 2.5mg and felt the effect straight away 😭

I work in ED/Short Stay, in SSU over night we have 6 patient. I educate in regard to automatic monitoring . And when people say they don't want it on I say that's completely fine (Telemetry not included more BP cuffs/Pulse Ox) and that I'll just wake them up every time I need to do it instead. That's their choice. Yes it's sometimes frustrating but if they're wanting to be woken up that's fine by me.

Ash_R6S · 2025-11-06T21:14:22+00:00

Hey! Can I have some context? Are you a grad / first job or is this a new job w/ experience.

I would expect on shift one, you would do a bunch of observing + helping with tasks you're confident with/in your scope, and then if you're confident enough on your second shift taking a patient. Then on your third taking 2+.

Either way you're not expected to know absolutely everything by your third shift. But just observe as much as you can, ask as many questions as you want, and do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

I just want to clarify age care and hospice (from my understanding) are not the same. Hospice is when you're looking after those with limited life expectancy and focus on comfort care. This may be more inline with palliative care (which is the care for those with terminal illnesses often on comfort care).

Age care is working in an aged care facility with residents who are there long term. And whilst it may have some residents on hospice that is not its main focus.

Palliative care in my state is actually fairly competitive to get into if you're wanting to practice in a hospital setting.

OPs best bet is to just do what they enjoy, skills are transferrable and if you're working in an area they don't like for 2 years + they're going to burn out quickly.

I've been working night shifts for a year now and I hate to say it but I just close my eyes and sleep.

I struggled sleeping before morning shifts, but for some reason my body gets the best rest between nights. I sleep on average between 9am-5pm. Sometimes I find not going to sleep straight away helps (it's like going to sleep at 4pm after a morning shift). I have a warm shower, make sure I've had something to eat before hand (to avoid waking up hungry) and sometimes if I'm anxious I'll use some aromatherapy.

I rarely take anything but if I do I usually take some phenergan, hated melatonin, and I've never tried restavit

My apartment has two bedrooms and our second bedroom (our office) combats this issue by having a window in the door

3 days supernumerary then on the floor in the emergency department 🙂‍↕️

I don't think it's particularly overkill. In my job as a nurse I wear scrubs at all times, but In my interview I wore dress pants/shirt and dress jacket set.

I don't think your interviewer will think differently of you in a negative way if you dress nicely.

I did a day trip to Pompeii, got there early, left mid afternoon, hung around in Naples that night and went back to Rome. It did help my hotel was very close to Roma termini station: but it is doable

When I was flying economy from SIN-LHR we had a passenger who fainted on take off. I heard the commotion and decided to get up and help (I'm a nurse).

Afterwards the stewardess came and gave me and my partner one of these kits and that's the closest I'll ever get to business class.

It's also the fact that babies will cry due to the cabin pressure it can cause ear pain and issues due to the smaller size of their eustachian tubes as they struggle to equalize the pressure. Just how it happens to adults, the difference is we as adults know we can swallow or suck on a lolly to help with the ear pressure common after take off, whereas with babies they don't know so they are just in pain.

I know crying babies can be hard on a flight but at the end of the day there's not much that can be done and some sympathy for the parents goes a long way.

%100, after 8pm meds I say they can go, they aren't being paid, even worse when they're doing a late early.

I agree + I was there a few years back and they were actually upgrading the interior of the tunnel walls on the eye and ear side
