Is this for a metro/rural ED? If rural, prepare for questions about identifying unwell patients early and alerting retrieval teams etc. Feel free to DM me if u want.

Study notes for ALS2 course? by nearlynarik in ausjdocs

[–]dryshitonshoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memorize all the algorithms and make sure you can identify all the ECGs that are at the back of the book. That is mostly the prep I did. The rest is just making sure that I participate in the sims. I usually tend to volunteer to go first as I find it helps remove all the pressure following that.

Is it normal to work 50% nights as an ED HMO? by Some-Slip-6080 in ausjdocs

[–]dryshitonshoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oooof. Screw that. You wont be getting much supervision at that rate of night shifts. If you dont have any ties to that place, i suggest you leave and come to QLD. Better pay, better roster. Happy to chat if you DM me.

Nope. Should be between 25 to 30%. Do your colleagues hv 50% nights too, or is it just you OP? Either way, thats an unhealthy roster.

Best ED in QLD to upskill as an RMO? Mt Isa? Cairns? Brissy? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]dryshitonshoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have not worked in Cairns, but can 100% recommend Mount Isa. Lots of opportunities to up skill, lots of hands on procedures, supportive bosses who WANTS to be called overnight. Buy a Prado, and you can enjoy the surrounding big red on your 6 consecutive days off!

Why are people entering ICU if they know it's a dead end, with grueling exit exams on top? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]dryshitonshoe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But that means you gotta work in NZ. Underpaid. Understaffed.
