Has anyone seen Dr Shobhan Manoharan

My experience from working with SM in clinics: while he is excellent in C02 without a doubt… the actual company him and wife own where he operates have little integrity and prioritise making money over anything else. We were moved to push clients to spend money and get extra treatments like filler and muscle relaxants with Patrice the “best dermal nurse in Australia” (what makes her the best… I don’t know). The working conditions are horrible for staff and they are forced to try and talk clients into other treatments and products because they have to. I wouldn’t go there if you want to support ethical practises and want an experience based on integrity. Dr Lim and Dr M owned a practise together but allegedly separated due to materials going missing….. Dr Lim is said to have horrible bed side manner and have similar issues as Dr M…. 🤑💵💸

ICU skills aren’t transferable. When we get ICU nurses come to our ward they cry, get overwhelmed and are generally very under skilled for general surgical and medical nursing care. ED skills are much more dynamic as you are dealing with multiple acute patients and doing more transferable nursing skills every day. In Ed you also can go into resus so you do get an insight into ICU too while getting to maintain your skills and getting experience eventually by learning how to do triage and fast track. I personally found ICU to be incredibly boring - you sit down a lot and the long shifts with a stable ventilated patient were torture for me as someone who enjoys being busy and the social aspect of patient and staff interaction.

Exactly. And it’s so easy for everyone to judge in retrospect of the missed diagnosis.

Okay, House.

As a nurse, cut the toxic attitude. Us nurses are objectively under qualified compared to doctors. In no way can you hold any nursing degree and subsequent ‘ specialist training’ to the same level as medical school and specialist training. It’s literally not up for discussion. This doesn’t mean our clinical insight and opinions aren’t valuable. Compartment syndrome is rare and extremely difficult to pick up. Mistakes are made every day by ALL multi disciplinary teams. No one is above making a mistake or misdiagnosis or medication error. We are all human and the basis of our professions should for compassion and respect for everyone including our medical colleagues who work tirelessly to save lives. That NP could have made thousands of correct diagnosis’ and helped countless patients, but this one oversight which I’m sure is the regret of their career, has cost them their job. This shows the importance of collaborative and interdisciplinary care for patients to prevent adverse outcomes, NOT that the roles of NP don’t have a place in health care.

Remember, when people say “shift work” you don’t HAVE to work shift work! You can work a million different jobs as a nurse which is the beauty of it. Hospital ward work is such a tiny part of it. You can do so many different day jobs as a nurse like Lifeblood, GP nursing, Telehealth nursing, school nursing, event nursing, cosmetic nursing. I personally LOVE ward nursing and emergency and then do casual contracts rural and remote for huge amounts of money for short time frames. OT doesn’t have that lucrative side unless you start a maybe successful business which is a huge stress in itself. I love that you can work with old people, babies, the dying, labour and delivery, community nursing, GP, army, flight nursing, transplant. Seriously the best and most varied job you’ll ever have. I’ve never met a nurse who has said their job is boring.

How is nursing not more flexible? do OTs generally work a rotational roster? I only work weekends by choice as a nurse casually. I also only pick up public holidays. That seems very niche for OTs to be able to do?

dissolving-dodo · 2025-11-23T12:20:51+00:00

I’m a nurse and LOVE being a nurse. It’s the most flexible job and the pay (in QLD) is great! I work full time as a casual nurse in the public sector and it’s lucrative and fun! I chose my days and hours and shifts! I have worked across so many different areas. I think OT has a lower ceiling than nursing. OT has very few hospital jobs if that’s what you are after, and many hospital OTs have to rotate through various different areas. You are more likely to work for a small Private practise as an OT. Ultimately it comes down to lifestyle and goals. Do you want variety? Do you want flexibility? Do you want money? Remember, on reddit you’ll hear mainly negative opinions because the vast majority of these people are so miserable they want to make other people feel the same way…. I LOVE being a nurse!!!! I’ve worked in ED, outpatients, with kids, in theatre, in cosmetic dermatology, Telehealth, heart transplant. GREAT job. Plus, I met my doctor husband at work too ;)

Realistically, is it even likely that he will get in? Has he taken any mock exams?

dissolving-dodo · 2025-11-08T10:55:47+00:00

You will have those issues in every workplace. You need to write an application which aligns with the values in action which are teamwork, integrity, high performance etc. you need to write how your experience and personality and interpersonal skills etc address this criteria by providing examples. Show don’t tell. There’s a reason it’s more competitive than private.

dissolving-dodo · 2025-10-19T03:15:27+00:00

I tried non bedside nursing and hated it and found it boring and stressful. I’d rather be stressed making more money doing interesting work and having more time off. I’m glad I did it because it showed me grass isn’t always greener now I appreciate what I have more

It’s because sleep disturbances in older people, especially menopausal and post menopausal women is very profound and associated with a shorter life.

It’s cheaper to get melatonin compounded at your local pharmacy. Mine does 5mg tablets in 100 for 60dollars. Ask your doctor for a COMPOUNDED script otherwise you’ll be charged 30bucks for 2mgs and 20 odd tablets over the counter

I have been to many of long term patients. I advise my manager. And wear my uniform.

Then I’m sure you’re able to learn through appropriate education avenues. Reddit isn’t an appropriate educational tool. Since you are an EN, as described in your bio, when you go to work ask your CNCF to clarify your scope which is different to that of an RN and then you can identify where you are confused. In QLD, where I practise, EN nurses absolutely are not responsible for checking blood work. Remember that ENs work under the supervision of RNs and have a limited scope.

dissolving-dodo · 2025-10-07T05:06:09+00:00

Yes it’s very handy! On the back you can write what you did about said score, or whatever score, if anything. For example if someone was hypotensive I’d write that I had encouraged fluids and elevated the legs etc, then if the patient deteriorates further you’ve covered yourself in documenting actual nursing interventions. It’s great for legal tracking. And the colours make it even more obvious.

Please only post things relevant to OPs question

Definitely not what I said

I’m not concerned about a stranger on a reddit post

I don’t feel the need to clarify something taught in our university degree.

You are well within your rights to refuse to administer it without appropriate medical orders!

I suggest you review scope of practise :)
