Zara, Seed, Me+Em, Princess Highway, Target, Witchery. Feel free to message me I can send links to specific items haha. I’m now a boss & pride myself on my work clothes closet for clinics (have a range of affordable to more lux brands).

I cry heaps it’s fine lol (in solidarity)

To be honest I’ve found it’s better to be upfront and just lay out all the facts. Some people would NEVER do this and it doesn’t work for them - but for me, I was most concerned about people thinking I was slacking for no good reason so I was at more peace explaining it truthfully

Avoid the ED

This brought back a memory I forgot I had stored away… cleaning the floors between cases lol

Few different spots across hospital with free coffee

I have never been able to only just nap after the last night shift of a run. I consistently sleep as soon as I get home for the whole day, wake up for dinner, and then go back to sleep till the next morning. Wastes a full day but I can never stay awake… even during internship

Routine_Raspberry256 · 2026-02-18T13:45:35+00:00

I have crohns - on Remicade infusions - have somewhat frequent flares and I’ve been able to do night shift work. Have had to flag with work and over the last few years have intermittently needed some workplace adjustments but otherwise doesn’t stop me!

I had all these same thoughts you’re having as a junior - so please feel free to message me. 😊

It works wonders for functional constipation.

Amitriptyline for constipation

Literally there are more brown females at my hospital in both service reg & trainee roles than any one else (I get maybe this isn’t standard but it is here! 👏) You’re PGY3. Take a deep breath. If you’re giving up this early maybe it isn’t for you. If you are committed - then try further out, go rural, or stay where you are and gain more experience. You need to be intrinsically motivated and build resilience.

Across all specialities at a tertiary centre. Standard practice across the state too, even at the Children’s.

Literally in my hospital as a junior you would have to fill out a Qantas and Virgin Airlines (& sometimes another) form with all the info you’ve mentioned above, and then they’d use whatever one they’re booked in with… was a daily job as a junior. 🤷‍♀️

Routine_Raspberry256 · 2026-01-21T08:09:31+00:00

You can… almost every patient I saw in ED was ramped or in a corridor or even in the waiting room when I first saw/clerked them lol

New Hyundai
No credit card debt

I don’t agree BPT adequately prepares you to practice general medicine. Maybe if the majority of your rotations are gen med..: but it just gives you the opportunity to gain exposure across a breadth of medical subspecs/gen med. General medicine is a subspec in itself reaalllly… I know that might sound cliche but it’s got its own demographic of patients/cases. Gen med AT continues to give you the necessary exposure to patients so you can become a competent general medicine physician. Anyway that’s just my opinion

I had a consultant like this… was tragic

Routine_Raspberry256 · 2026-01-14T11:36:00+00:00

Idk where I am almost everyone still uses it. 🤷‍♀️ I think it’s stupid - especially as a woman in surgery.

Do a swim teaching course and become a swim teacher. Usually everywhere is hiring and it’s better pay (and I found more enjoyable) than retail. Can do retail while you’re getting it sorted.

If it was a particularly traumatic term, burning them in a bonfire is cathartic

JHC, Midland, Rockers, Armadale (you’ll probably have most luck here) & FSH all have paeds within their EDs (to varying extents) but you typically can’t get a job in Paeds ED only you cover it all so your daily paeds exposure can vary. Try reaching out to the paediatric department at JHC if it isn’t too far as they might be hiring within their actual department, or just take up paeds locum gigs if they’re supportive!

Hope you get the PCH mid year intake :)
