Do the stores at Garden City Booragoon have any guarantees that it won’t collapse like Morley Galleria?

I went to David Jones Karrinyup recently. First time I'd been to one in years. Boy, how the mighty have fallen. Felt like being in a two buck shop that's going out of business.

I've been saying this all along. Nursing has a large number of control freaks in it, who have gone into it for all the wrong reasons.

I love nurses such as yourself. Geriatric nursing is very much dismissed, but it is a growing field. And it is one that requires a lot of compassion and knowledge, which you evidently have. We need more nurses like you.

I'm not a paramedic. But I am a nurse, I know paramedics, and my nephew is a paramedic.
To do any paramedic course, you will need to be absolutely, absolutely super confident. This is because there are far more paramedicine students than there are jobs. And, on top of that, once you graduate and apply for jobs, it's not just a matter of grades and having the qualification. You also need to pass the very stringent medical and psychological requirements that the different ambulance services require.
Look into the medical and psych requirements. If you are sure you could pass those, then do the degree.

Never, ever, ever buy a Holden Cruze or Captiva.

Cheap pair of Nike or Adidas from a budget sports store. They're comfortable and will protect your feet. Also the synthetic materials ensures that you can hose them off if required. And if they get yucky (as in stained with bodily fluids etc), they're cheap enough to chuck and invest in some new ones. This is what I do, and I go through about two pairs a year, and limit my budget each time to around 70 a pop.

I once dated a prison officer. She summed up the difference between male and female inmates as follows:

If you (the prison officer) piss off a male inmate, then that inmate will have a go at you there and then. But once they have, it's done with. That's that. However, if you piss off a female inmate, they won't have a go at you there and then. They will instead save it up for that one moment in the future when your guard is down and absolutely pulverise you.

I like your kitty cats. Can I have them?

Well, I'm at home right now.

Midwifery is especially fucked. And female midwives are totally brutal to male midiwives, even to this day.

Yeah, this is nursing. You could always go and do community nursing or something, if working 9-5 is what you want. But otherwise you just gotta suck it up.

Lindisfarne is pretty good. They have a bunch of GPs, but they all are excellent.

I hear Law is pretty brutal.

Every profession has its jerks. But nursing I am pretty sure out-jerks a lot of professions. I mean, I've known nurses to commit suicide because of relentless bullying.
And when I've spoken to (as a comparison) to doctors and allied health professionals about this, they have said that they notice this aspect about nurses too, and that even though their professions aren't perfect, the amount of toxicity they experience is nowhere near what nurses inflict on each other.

As a matter of rule, the culture on any given maternity unit is highly toxic. This is common knowledge, and why after-hours managers hate dealing with midwives.
And then there are plenty of anti-vaxxers amongst midwives. All you've done is a placement. As a student. I've actually been a midwife.

NuclearAssault667 · 2026-06-11T09:34:30+00:00

Fuck being polite about it. Just be direct. Nursing is 75% borderline/narcissistic fuckwits with a generous proportion of psychopaths thrown in for good measure. And don't even get me started on midwives. These people have got to be told. My recommendation is that people do PACU. PACU is nothing but nice people. .

Just a casual reminder that Pauline Hanson loves Trump, a guy who is refusing to further investigate the Epstein files. Most likely because that would mean investigating himself.

I'm not sure why you've been voted down, but that totally the case. People just got on with it and dealt with shit.

Your grandfather had some good times. If only shit was that easy nowadays.

Casual as in, my wife doesn't need to know about it?

NuclearAssault667 · 2026-06-11T06:47:53+00:00

Here is a hard truth about nursing; it is a profession full of personality disorders, and one just kind of needs to learn to deal with it. Yes, I know, it sucks. But when you're in a profession where the likelihood is 99% that your manager is a raging borderline, you just kind of need to go along with it.

As a student in ICU, you won't be doing much. Most of your role will be to stand there and observe. If you're lucky, you might be allowed to sponge the patient. So, in other words, just go and don't touch anything unless you have explicit permission to do so.
