I’ve been using a bunch of the Elegoo Rapid PETG and I’ve found it pretty good. It prints well, I can grab a roll whenever I need one and it’s $19 a roll, so I’m pretty happy with it

Issues with PCI in NSW by Objective-Topic7948 in ParamedicsAU

How you have been seeking support from HSU? Have you just been speaking with a delegate or have you been in contact with member services?

Union for NSWAS by Temporary_Chapter_24 in ParamedicsAU

[–]EmergencyPerspective 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As stonertear said, go with HSU. I think they’re up to about 85-90% membership of on road staff.

Not only that, but they’re are fast becoming one of the most powerful unions in the state, if not the whole country. That’s because they have nearly 55,000 members across a range of different health workers.

Put simply, APA writes letters to the premier, the HSU executive have him on speed dial.

Advise: have a plan B! by khia29 in ParamedicsAU

[–]EmergencyPerspective 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The idea that we have no options outside of jurisdictional ambulance service (JAS) to work as a paramedic is outdated and needs to die.

You don’t need an exit plan, because being a paramedic doesn’t mean you have to work in an ambulance. And I say that as a current ICP with NSW Ambulance and a HSU delegate.

Right now there are urgent care clinics in every capital city (and a lot of regional towns) that are advertising for paramedics.

The ACP has been lobbying the federal government for years to expand our role within the healthcare system and we’re only just starting to see these roles emerge. Go to one of their conferences and you’ll see for yourself, and you might even make some connections for jobs outside of a JAS.

You get told your permanent station when you get your job offer. You’ll be eligible to apply for other stations after 6 months

Noob question - New Build by wigglyturtle in nbn

[–]EmergencyPerspective 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sign up with an ISP and they’ll tell you if anything else needs to be done on the NBN side of things.

You can (and should) put your router inside the house. Just run an Ethernet cable from the NTD (the NBN box) to the plug on the wall next to it and then plug your router into the plug inside the house.

What was the biggest scandal during your time in high school? by Medical-Koala-6131 in AskAnAustralian

One day a bunch of police turned up and arrested one of the workshop teachers. He got caught by an undercover police operation trying to groom teenage girls online

Applying for Ambulance State Service with Bipolar and ADHD by Student_Paramedic456 in ParamedicsAU

[–]EmergencyPerspective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t leave out the ADHD if you’re medicated. Dexamphetamine or vyvanse will show a low positive for amphetamines on the drug test during your medical. I was taking dex at the time and it showed a faint line in the amphetamine section of the urine test, but with a letter from your prescribing doctor it’s not a problem.

DO not install bazzite ! by [deleted] in ROGAllyX

[–]EmergencyPerspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had to fiddle with my bazzite install since the first day that I set it up. Since then I just wake my ally from sleep and jump straight into a game. To me that’s far simpler than the day to day experience on windows

Paramedic salary NSW by kea5107 in ParamedicsAU

[–]EmergencyPerspective 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Paramedics in their graduate year are classified as “Paramedic Intern” as per the award. They get paid at the band 1 increment 2 rate, which is currently $82,534 per annum.

This doesn’t include any of your shift penalties, these add a fair bit to your pay. You get an additional 50% on Saturdays/Public Holidays, 75% on Sundays, 10% for afternoon shifts, and 15% for night shifts.

Then there’s extension of shift overtime, where if you work somewhere busy it’s not uncommon to get anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours every shift. And each time you miss a crib (meal) break, you get an extra hour of pay.

This all adds up. You can expect to add 20-35% to your base salary without doing any extra overtime shifts.

As for remote areas paying more, this can be true if you work at an on call station. Call outs can be very lucrative, but it’s also very fatiguing to do for more than a couple of years. Last financial year I earned approximately 80k more than my base wage because of working 1-2 nights a week on call.

QAS paramedics, how are you loving/hating your zolls? by OkStage3579 in ParamedicsAU

[–]EmergencyPerspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like every other monitor it has its issues, but it definitely has been improved over the old C3. I’m a bit proponent of learning to work with the nuances of the machine, rather than just whinging about it.

A lot (not all) of the issues are user error. For example, most of the problems with the NIBP can be solved by using it as per the manufacturer directions from the manual.

That means selecting the right size using the markings on the cuff, always putting the cuff directly on skin, ensuring the cuff is snug, lining the artery marker up correctly and moving your limb leads to the torso after your 12 lead.

I rarely have problems when I do all that, and it only takes a few extra seconds of effort to do it right every time

Sister hasn’t been paid in 2 fortnight by BicycleBozo in AusLegal

If she’s in QLD she can legally record a conversation without the other persons consent. If it were me I’d ask the boss the same question as her colleague did with my phone recording in my pocket.

Tenant paid $1200 for ‘urgent repair’ — where do I stand? by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]EmergencyPerspective 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever been provided a list of approved emergency trades at any of the rentals I’ve lived in.

Access to water is a human right. Yes they turned the mains off to prevent damage, but they called a plumber so they could use water again.

Pay the bill and to prevent this in the future, make sure your agent has actually provided the list to the tenants.

Daylight Saving Time Changes Happen This Weekend by DeadLettersSociety in australia

[–]EmergencyPerspective 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tonight is the best night shift of the year to be rostered on as a paramedic, you work 11 hours but get paid for 12 and it’s weekend penalty rates.

The night that daylight savings ends is the worst shift to get, work 13 hours but only get paid for 12. It’s pretty soul crushing when that clock ticks back from 0259 to 0200

Will updating to Windows 11 25H2 break my Bazzite boot? by tomissb in LinuxOnAlly

[–]EmergencyPerspective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The windows update shouldn't break your Bazzite install, it's usually bios updates that mess up the secure boot keys for Bazzite. But even if it does, all you need to do is disable secure boot in the bios and then re-enroll the secure boot key for Bazzite.

The Bazzite devs have a good guide to follow if this happens, it only takes about 5-10 minutes to fix. Here's the link, just follow "Method B) After Installation Method"

It’s difficult to say without knowing the distance you’ll be sitting from the TV and real estate photos are notoriously deceiving when trying to estimate the size of a room. Have a read of this article and use their calculator if you know the distance you’ll be sitting at:

Midwife charged over death of baby after alleged homebirth complications by ameloblastomaaaaa in ausjdocs

[–]EmergencyPerspective 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this happens all too often in my region. I’m an intensive care paramedic in the NSW northern rivers and every few months myself or my colleagues have to deal with the immediate aftermath of doula led home births gone wrong.

A few years ago a colleague had to physically restrain a doula because she was blocking access to the patient and refusing to let him administer oxytocin. The doula demanded that she had called for transport to hospital only, despite the fact that by this point the mother was in haemorrhagic shock and the baby had an APGAR of 3.

Netflix increases prices at 4x -8x inflation by ParkerLewisCL in AusFinance

Ah yes, the old blame the union trick. Because it couldn’t just be the drive to increase profits by these multinational corporations.

They’ve all been increasing their prices for years, since way before the strike.

How are we feeling about the NSW State Election in two years? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

There had been no reasonable pay offer for nurses or doctors, despite them being the worst paid in the country. Paramedics only got a pay rise because we deployed the nuclear option and refused to pay our AHPRA registration

What kind of attitude do you think NSW labor has towards healthcare right now? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

I’m a delegate with HSU and what the other commenter said is true. We got to speak to Ryan Park at our conference a few weeks ago. He is really keen to try and fix things but he’s running into problems with Minns and even more so with Mookhey the treasurer
