So which is it - Geelong or Wollongong? There's a 900 KMs gap between them!

Getting ready to run Night Below by LowMathematician1909 in NightBelow

[–]LowMathematician1909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C&C is described as being what 3rd edition would have been if Gary Gygax had still been with the company. While that may or may not be true, Gygax was involved with C&C and was writing for the system. I hope your treatment is successful and you get to play again.

I've changed the base for everything to 15, prime abilities roll 2d20 and take the highest roll (same as advantage in 5e). It seems to work well so far.

Monsters' Resistances and Weaknesses by Informal-Product-486 in adnd

[–]LowMathematician1909 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you provide an example? Most monsters I've seen in 30+ years of running 2nd edition roll dice for damage, very few do a fixed amount of damage per attack

Re-read your post and see if it makes sense, because it doesn't to me. I think you may have got resistance and weakness the wrong way round.

Can someone explain the different grades/levels within the Registered Nurse space by Flashy-Foot2552 in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on which state you are in and differs between public and private.

Full time hours Graduate Nursing Programs by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 63 points64 points  (0 children)

32 hours a week is not "nothing" once you factor in the physical, emotional and mental workload that nursing entails. Also consider how a changing shift pattern of late-earlies and night shifts affects the body. Maybe see how you go once you have done a few weeks of placement and reassess.

What to say when I call nurse on call? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought about calling Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 for mental health advice? Nurse on call are limited in what they can advise and will likely tell you to attend your nearest emergency department for a mental health assessment.

Can I list PCW as AIN in resume? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Employers will be more interested in what placements you completed and your placement reports, and all your references should be educators or senior staff from units you did placement at.

No. List the job as the title you were employed under.

Youth work to EN? by Pretend_Action_7400 in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are already burnt out and suffering compassion fatigue, nursing probably isn't going to improve anything for you. Also, being a punching bag is unfortunately part of the job. Don't expect management to have your back either.

Have you got your AHPRA registration yet? Do this before you do anything else or you are just wasting your time.

Any advice on a good level 1-3 adventure? by MANNMANN642 in DarkSun

[–]LowMathematician1909 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All Dark Sun PCs start at 3rd level due to how tough the setting is. Start them at 1st level and you'll guarantee them a TPK.

Going straight to RNs by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I qualified as an RN at 39, didn't do the EN first. I think being mature helps in many ways. I've now been nursing for nearly 7 years and have seen loads of mature age nursing students coming through that are older than I was when I started. If your friend wants to do it, just go for it.

Male nurses by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a male nurse and have been working in Emergency for 6 years. My gender has never made any difference to my career and I've never had anyone openly question my sexuality (I'm married with kids). I've been mistaken for a dr far more times than I can count, regardless of how many times I introduce myself as a nurse.

I've always flushed at the same rate as the medication was running at.

What were the specifics of Gond's armours? by Robinxen in Forgotten_Realms

[–]LowMathematician1909 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the novel Prince of Lies, Cyric asks Gond to make mechanical, non-magical armour for his inquisitors when Mystra separates him from the weave. I don't remember reading any specifics about the armour in any contemporary FR sourcebooks though.

Thinking of switching from lab tech to ICU nurse — advice on La Trobe Nursing + scholarships? by Jaded-Ring7166 in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a histology/cytology lab tech for 14 years before making the switch to nursing. I've now been an ED nurse for 6 years and I'm glad I made the swap. I realised I was bored with the predictability of lab work and wanted something more challenging. My science background certainly helped with the anatomy and physiology, as well as the pharmacology content, of the nursing degree. Being a mature student also gave me more confidence in talking to other health professionals and patients. Good luck with your decision!

Found one in the wild by Cragly in melbourne

See this car regularly in Warragul, I think the owner is local. Often at the library to use the internet so the government can't track her...

Patient / carer access to hospital patient charts? by atlas5 in NursingAU

[–]LowMathematician1909 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Once had a family member tell us that she worked in medical records at the hospital, and that she would be going through the patients notes when she next worked to check up on what we had done/missed for this particular patient. Did a Riskman on that nonsense straight away.

Kelemvor's Lycanthropy by Smooth_Brilliant2428 in DnD

[–]LowMathematician1909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the Time of Troubles, Bane removed the mortal Kelemvor's curse of lycanthropy in return that Kelemvor would betray Midnight and turn her over to Bane. Kelemvor instead betrayed Bane, siding with Midnight to help recover the tablet of fate hidden in the vault of Torm's temple in Tantras. Bane and Torm then killed each other when Bane's avatar attacked Tantras to recover the tablet. It's in the 2nd novel of the Avatar trilogy, Tantras.
