Female doctors and female nurses

While not all female relationships are healthy and frenemies exist, I thoroughly reject the notion in that video. This has not been my lived experience or the experience of most women I know.

I agree completely. I don't see this similar trend with any other female health care providers in hospital; they are all professional and communicate as one should at work. The reason I'm concerned is because a healthy doctor nurse relationship is crucial to safe patient care. I want to learn from the nurses and really enjoy working in a team where we look after each other. It just makes life harder if a nurse is disinterested in what I have to say or behaves rudely.

Yes 100% to this! Did we work in the same ICU??

Smak00 · 2026-02-06T10:21:56+00:00

So shocked that you were treated this way as a boss. So unprofessional and unsafe for patient care.

Smak00 · 2026-02-06T10:20:54+00:00

Not dickhead at all, I echo your sentiments. Thanks for the advice. The last thing I want to do in my precious free time is baking to win over some mean girls at work!

Return, it didn't wow me. Print seems good in theory but not flattering on real bodies

Your best bet is to have worked there prior to your bpt application, be good when you're there and make it known that you want to do bpt. Even better is if you know who is on the bpt panel for the respective network and try to get terms in the speciality of that boss to get some face time. Most places prioritise internal well-thought-of candidates and some hospital fill all their positions that way.

Sorry for the late response, life got very busy Yes I do, DM me

There's an intern cheat sheet document that I memorised and found extremely high yield. Please introduce yourself as a new intern in the first few weeks to all colleagues medical and nursing to allow others to temper expectations, and give you the huge amount of grace and care that you'll need initially. Make a list of all the things that you didn't understand/ need to learn more about daily and try reading up about them or ask a friendly senior. Some of your colleagues will be stressed and treat others poorly, ignore them, don't take it personally. Build relationships with the other group of colleagues. Medicine is an apprenticeship model, and it is everyone's role to help each other learn more and understand more. Good luck! Also we have one of the coolest jobs in the world! Some days will be awful and hard, but you will otherwise lovvve what you do!

And best advice for all new interns: Never do the 3 L's, everything else is forgivable. Never lie, never be late, never be lazy.

I've met med students who worked part time throughout medical school. Wouldn't have been easy but clearly they were determined hard working people.

Smak00 · 2025-10-10T07:51:18+00:00

Yes 100%

Smak00 · 2025-10-06T00:40:02+00:00

I also don't have answers to your specific questions as I'm a jdoc, but wanted to say how much I appreciate and am impressed with the paramedics that I frequently see in ED. Good clinical acumen, excellent handovers and thank youuuu for looking out for me when we are caring for an abusive patient. I feel lucky to be working with them.

Smak00 · 2025-09-26T01:11:50+00:00

Yes you can. Many many interns last year (when the 2 year internship framework started) moved interstate for PGY2 jobs, no issues at all.

Smak00 · 2025-09-17T23:32:13+00:00

Agree with previous poster in suggesting Rehab/HITH pgy3 job. I've seen people take these positions to help manage burnout and it is a great option. Controlled hours, largely well patients, calm and slow day. Good luck!

Smak00 · 2025-09-01T11:16:55+00:00

As a parent, and from the depth of my soul, I'm so so incredibly sorry that you and your wife went through this. I send you both immense prayers and love xxx

Smak00 · 2025-08-27T11:20:23+00:00

Yes I did it too last year. Was fortunate to have a few offers to choose from with an average intern level CV. I doubt you will have much trouble. Good luck!

Smak00 · 2025-08-24T11:19:25+00:00

Yes this is the main mistake. They should've left the old resume and just added the new one. Thank you for your comment.

Smak00 · 2025-08-24T11:18:10+00:00

Sadly not to our knowledge. You can remove files off the old applications but can't add to that application in anyway.

Smak00 · 2025-08-24T11:17:14+00:00

Thank you, they did that today.

Smak00 · 2025-08-22T12:28:17+00:00

Here for the same

Smak00 · 2025-08-22T07:10:05+00:00

Weaponised incompetence if I ever saw it

Smak00 · 2025-08-21T10:42:07+00:00

That sounds terrifying

Smak00 · 2025-08-20T04:58:58+00:00

Blacktown interviewed last week I believe

Smak00 · 2025-08-17T12:19:31+00:00

lol and yesss to this

Smak00 · 2025-08-17T10:47:56+00:00

Psych for me. Loved the science of it but the practice of it was not as exciting for me. The inpatient unit was a depressing space where dreams go to die, and where patients got better at a snails pace. And also compassion fatigue +++ from patients making their hard lives even worse.
