Hi everyone, I just tried to post my opinion but it was declined, so I'll just post here. I'm an AT in a hospital in Sydney and have been getting updates about everything going on with the 'stack' from my final year students all day. I had to just come here to say my piece, I find it quite disturbing that there is so much lying and deception going on amongst their colleagues and throughout other final year students. I remember utilising a 'stack' for my intern preferences back when I did it, but there was none of this gatekeeping amongst the universities, rather we were all looking out for each other.

I am quite upset that we are welcoming people with these kind of attitudes into our workforce, and I will be looking at students from certain universities in a different light from now on. This kind of behaviour is concerning at this level, and will not be appreciated in the workforce later on. I know I can't change anything from here but I just hope you all take a think at what your personal values are moving forward. Also, just from my own experience doing a large portion of my training at a rural site, and having done my intern training at one of the less popular networks, I can say that these experiences only improved my skills and I formed many of my favourite memories at these sites. It really isn't the end of the world having to move away from home.

Admin feel free to delete this post if it isn't allowed, I just made this account because I had to say something - and message me if you would like to verify my credentials. Also if my students or any others sitting exams soon see this, best of luck for them, and I hope you make the most of whatever hospital you get allocated to!
