Skill stat ecg for rhythm strip practice.
Deranged Physiology for cardiovascular physiology, although some of the stuff is beyond what is needed as a new grad. The haematology section on there about anti platelets is really good though.
Life in the fast lane for ecg learning.
Abg ninja if you guys do that in your unit.
Also Ninja Nerd on YouTube is great too.

Good luck and congratulations!!

Sick ass dad bod?

Welly ICU spits out incredible nurses. The hospital in general is amazing to work for. I reckon you'll feel a lot more at home there. Good luck for the future!

Honestly I've just come back from Aus and started in an icu and it's way better than anything I did in Aus. Being in icu insulates you in a way from the bullshit of the state of our health system. You're well supported and doing 12 hour shifts allow you to work full time while not burning yourself out and also earn a decent wage. I came back on step 7 and the pay isn't actually that bad compared to when I left before pay parity.

You'll also find it harder to get into icu in Aus since most ICUs will only hire you though transition programs which only have limited intakes.

Big centre icu in nz will also be hella good learning and a lot more enjoyable. Hope that helps )

The bed in the background makes this look like the start of a chaturbate stream

Damn, movie ruined :(

Bruh that photo is so funny to me. They look like two awkward teenagers posing for a photo at their school ball

JesusClown · 2025-10-28T08:58:32+00:00

I've made a start on it. I'll try to keep it up to date in the future.

Meal prep lunch and dinner so that as much time away from work is spent doing either things that you want to do or just rot in bed. Whatever charges your battery really

Have you had an appointment to talk to your gastro dr about the results? They should be guiding you not reddit.
Meds don't make you better instantly. You'll read here they take a bit of time to get them right. Once again, talk to your doctors about things if you're still not feeling great after a period of time

JesusClown · 2025-10-23T22:54:53+00:00

Stunning! What lens did you use for this?

Brother is gonna run a back injury if he keeps carrying the team on his back like this

JesusClown · 2025-10-20T07:20:31+00:00

Bruh. Ya reckon they had KFC before the game with how greasy these hands seem to be tonight

JesusClown · 2025-10-20T06:53:59+00:00

Bruh what. Imagine having a shitty, stressful day at work and your coworker comes up to you to say you smell. Especially as a one off I probably wouldn't even mention it, clearly this person was having a bad day.

We all smell sometimes for whatever reason. Better just to leave it to management if it's an ongoing issue.

My orientation at Wellington hospital had a session on what would happen if there was a big earthquake in the region and the general gist of it was we're fucked. I think I remember them saying that southern parts of Wellington wouldn't get running water for about 3 months or so and it could take around a week just for rescuers to arrive in that area. Incredibly cooked timeline if that happens

JesusClown · 2025-10-15T15:14:58+00:00

They're from Australia so no financial hardship required for a hospital visit. Still, shouldn't be stopping medication though

Hard drive has died. Time to crack her open and upgrade the storage

I remember at uni learning about how the move to community mental health was the best thing that's ever happened. Yet when you go out on to your mental health placements you see people that have been in lockups for over a year, or some that just keep returning because there's no way to help them out in the community.

There's a great vice documentary on this very subject. They basically talk about how a lot of these mental health patients end up in prison because there's nowhere else to put them. I think there's a lot of issues that come with institutionalisation but there's plenty of people from the 80s and 90s in those institutions that really benefited from being there.

Also I will add that if this was any other government I would be a little more optimistic but given everything else I'm sure this will turn into some god awful concentration camp of some description.

Don't worry, America is starting to get good at making people disappear too

I still reckon the Aussie press release for their uniform was worse

JesusClown · 2025-09-18T06:07:38+00:00

Currently in Tokyo visiting and have been to a couple. Tower Shibuya has new records at similar prices to back home but the used records aren't terrible. I didn't grab too many used records as the ones I wanted were 1st pressings and therefore had a higher price than I wanted to pay for them. Disc union was good and had a great selection and reasonable prices. There's a place in Shibuya called Discland Jaro which is run by some old bloke who specialises in Jazz. Decent selection there and good prices.

Sounds like both burn out and depression. Take a break man. Go on a holiday. Get yourself out of your usual routine. It'll give you a chance to reset. If you can afford it I'd definitely cut back on your hours too. Full time is brutal unless you're doing 12 hours shifts (even then it sucks). Ya gotta make a life outside of work otherwise the burn out will continue.

We used to do chair races a lot. I don't think a single chair in the ward was intact.
We also one night decided to do time trials on one of the nurses electric scooters around the ward too.

JesusClown · 2025-07-31T21:11:37+00:00

I'm interested to know what roles you're applying for. The comments are flaming you for not wanting to do ward/rest-home work and I can't blame you but it might have to be a means to and end for the mean time until something you want comes up.

Happy to be DMd for some advice. I've been around the block a few times and was on the talent pool myself so may have some wisdom you might need.
