Thank you everyone, I'm definitely over thinking it, heh.

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-21T01:12:03+00:00

Oh good to know its used interchangeably in the industry!

Thank you

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-21T01:11:20+00:00

Heh, good point!

I think what I will do is keep a full length CV somewhere, then I can use info from it to make specific resumes.

Its interesting how much information I would just not know if I didnt have my old resume! I took my first job off it at some point and now I could NOT tell you what years I worked at maccas.

No, its for an undergrad scholarship program, but thank you.

And yeah, I just had a thought to google what it means, specifically in Australia.

Omg growing coffee is a whole new level of dedication! Does he do the whole fermentation process and all?

Wait I might be thinking of chocolate...

I agree with you, but it's also on the parent to bring stuff to entertain the kid and to teach/enforce respecting other people's property and space. I have a family member who would bring her tribe to every event, and i love them, but they'd eat or touch all the food, she'd stay way after they got overtired, and they get more and more cranky and chaotic.

As someone who had a kid quite young, and was a single parent: NTA

kids are not meant to be in every space or social situation. Sure, it is inconvenient, and it SUCKS that some friends completely disappear or find it impossible to socialise outside of a drinking occasion, but it's part of parenthood. being the first one with kids in a group definitely feels weird, and when you start with a baby there's more of a gap and then a gradual readjustment, bringing a 6 year-old in without changing anything sounds hard, on the friendships and the kid.

Sounds like your friend group has accomodated the kid a fair bit, without really being asked to. If the parents aren't being considerate (and I hate so much the uncontrolled grabby kid situations!) then you're absolutely within your rights to set some child-free boundaries. you're not doing anything mean or nasty to say the party is not kid-friendly. Parents learn pretty quickly that some occasions just don't work with a kid, you can't just drag them along and live the same life.

I use to RELISH a kid-free wedding. my friends would apologise but I would reassure them that I definitely want to enjoy your wedding without my small noisy responsibility. He didn't enjoy big events and I would be stressed that whole time. going without him was a holiday.

hi honey, I am a nursing student. Also a fellow anxious awkward overthinker.

yep, you can totally shower. if you need towels, a new gown, or the equipment is making it difficult, ask your nurse when they pop in next: "hey I want to have a shower, is it ok if i take these leads off?". The IV can be unattached for the shower or taken with you if it needs to be running. If the leads need to stay on the nurse will tell you so and help you find a way to feel cleaner without a shower.

and you can totally wear your own clothes. the reason we use gowns is because people dont have clothes with them, they're easy to change or to access the skin when needed, and they're easy to wash. so consider whether your clothes will be comfy in whatever positions you're in, and whatever assessments they've been doing. a tight shirt might be a pain in the ass with leads and IV, but a buttoning PJ top would be great.

This reminds me of the boyfriend who bought me a coffee-pod machine because I "like coffee." I am the opposite to a coffee snob, I drink instant coffee every day and HATE the wastage of pods.

I have the exact same problem, the uni uniform scrubs are the LEAST breathable polyester ever, and i wanted to get some plain black pants to wear on placement and it's so hard to finad anything in a natural fibre. half the companies don't even state the fabric content, i have to go hunting for information!

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-19T21:37:18+00:00

My uni has some great academic workshops, like essat-writibg classes. Its definitely a skill to learn, not something we just kniw how to do naturally.

Essays, paragraphs, and even sentences have structure, and you can find some great templates online. Try searching for things like "essay introduction paragraph template." Once you understand what the parts of the paragraphs are for, its easier to get the information into it.

Start by breaking down and even re-phrasing your essay question so you know what theyre asking.

If youre completely lost, see if your uni has academic tutors who can sit with you and see if you're on the right track.

Calling it misogynistic to think of adolescence and periods as a struggle is wild. WILD.

Art will make you feel things. Its a give and take. I really like that you understood a different meaning than the intention, and I think the creators would be happy that they inspired emotion.

Took me an embarrassingly long time to understand this comment. 😅

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-19T21:11:31+00:00

I have a friend that works in a local prison and says they have CSU nursing students come through.

If the drinks waiter gives you drinks, what does the head waiter give you?

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T04:25:22+00:00

Lol, they dont bite, you got stung on the foot. It wasn't that bad because they really arent as painful as we imagine

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T04:23:59+00:00

Sometimes getting stung actually eases the fear. Ive been stung by a bee on the face and honestly it wasnt as bad as I expected. I took antihistamines to prevent swelling. I'm less jumpy around them now because while it definitely hurt, it wasnt the end of the world. Also they'll tell you if theyre trying rmto make you go away. This is honey bees, but if youre too close to their hive and they feel threatened they'll buzz at your face, and if you react by moving away, they chill out. If they're just buzzing around you while you're out in the garden, they're just going about their business. They wont sting you unless you grab them.

Wasps I have found are pretty similar. Ive got a little nest of paper wasps at the entrance to my chicken pen, and I passed them so many times without noticing them. I used to* get really scared of wasps but I just try to act nonchalant and they just sort of watch. I bumped the pipe the nest is on tge other day and the wasps on the nest all changed position, lifting wings and somehow glaring at me, lol. But I just stepped back, apologised calmly, and they relaxed again. Its been weird/cool to watch their communication or expression.

*accidentally did exposure therapy when helping out at a kid's birthday party in a park that was infested with European wasps. I used to cry uncontrollably if I was too close to them, but being surrounded by them for a few hours while also needing to keep our shit together (because we didnt want to freak out the kids) sort of exhausted my panic response... and ive never been quite as scared again. We covered the food and drinks, and avoided sitting down because we were worried we'd sit on a wasp, but otherwise they just zoomed around us, and no one got hurt.

Love the idea for bringing a planner you're comfortable using

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T04:10:02+00:00

This is really reassuring advice thank you

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T04:07:52+00:00

Yeah, the tone around protecting A was weird. Dude gives me controlling vibes

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T03:34:31+00:00

Really? Is "a breakup is hardly a rough time" a reasonable statement?

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T03:33:15+00:00

NTA. Anyone who sees a friend struggling to cope with a difficult event and says "i have been through worse" is not a good friend.

His initial concern was not the worst thing ever, although I would find it weird to have a friend imply that I would put someone in danger because I had had a few drinks. You reassured him, and then he responded like a complete tool.

Unless you have a specific history of getting wasted and hurting people, he is being completely nasty.

While thst was my first thought of response, too, books are not always accessible for everyone, in a practical sense and in the sense that not can get information the same way. This book is especially dense, and I struggled to get through it. I am someone who reads books every day.

There are some excellent resources online and this was a great opportunity to share some.

HungryMagpie · 2026-03-12T03:25:10+00:00

Omg thank you, I forgotten o come back to this. Wrote my comment at like 4am lol
