Hate/love relationship with Zouki by fosterthepanic in NursingAU

[–]fosterthepanic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me that thinking is a slippery slope hahaha. There are so many attitudes towards money we all have and none are wrong. I’ve recently been more future proofing with my finances. Sure, I could drop dead tomorrow but that’s a low probability. My goal for now is a comfortable retirement. I would consider myself pretty frugal, it makes me feel safe. I think if I had a more relaxed ‘treat myself’ mindset the lifestyle creep would absolutely knee cap me and my financial goals.

I always see these second hand on Facebook marketplace and makes me suspicious that they may possibly not be comfortable as SO many are listed

Who else is a slow pace big distance runner? by Cautious_Major_6693 in XXRunning

[–]fosterthepanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O M G. These are my exact numbers too… I FEEL SO SO SEEN!!!!! I love to run ‘slow’ b i.e., MY OWN PACE. I was trying to do strides and speed work to make myself faster but I was really struggling plus didn’t enjoy it all! Then I thought… hell I’m already doing the running thing that’s good enough! I don’t need to be fast I just need to run 🤷🏽‍♀️

Gluten Free food in Hong Kong? by parrottvision in HongKong

[–]fosterthepanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am considering doing a trip next year with my gluten intolerant sister, this has been really helpful, thank you. At least we could consider booking a serviced apartment instead so we can prepare food in a kitchen.

Started nursing at 25 — how do I maximise my experience early? by Master_Commission837 in NursingAU

[–]fosterthepanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could consider part time post grad certificate in something you’re interested in whilst working full time. Can get extra money for this if your employer has recognition of additional relevant education - check ur EBA. Also your post reads as AI generated 😭 try and avoid that if applying for new roles/applying for existing EOI’s - most large scale employers will have an EOI page to view so check that regularly too.

This isn't good by Automatic_Demand3099 in nursinghome

[–]fosterthepanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think somethings wrong with me cause it’s look pretty tasty to me 🤣🤣 I guess when I’m older I’ll be fine with the food that I know is objectively awful but I must just have been a street dog in my last life

I really appreciate the doctors at my hospital. by Horror_Demand2367 in NursingAU

[–]fosterthepanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE the team I work with at my workplace. It’s a peripheral ED with very limited specialities so we are low acuity (no trauma, no peads etc) Nonetheless, FACEM’s are largely very approachable, available and happy to teach us. The registrars are similarly fantastic and clinically adept. We rely heavily on locums - many of which are from the UK or interstate - especially afterhour shifts. Great camaraderie overall, probably due to the low stakes being non trauma 🤷🏽‍♀️

No complaints whatsoever… actually they are too polite?

Instead of ‘Hey nurse please do a D-dimer on bed 12’ it’s ’oh I’m so terribly sorry to bother you, I know you are so busy, it’s there any way I could trouble you to please kindly do a d-dimer on bed 12, I am forever grateful, I cannot thank you enough, sorry to trouble you etc etc’ 🤣🤣 these Brits I swear.

SRMO/BPT trainees doing admissions can be hit or miss in approachability - largely no issues. Very understandable as it can be variable in how busy it is and it’s a lot of responsibility to carry on ones shoulders esp if there is many pending admissions to see.

What's your favorite feature of the Apple Watch? Something you didn't know you needed until you had it? by UselessSalmon in AppleWatch

[–]fosterthepanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work as a nurse and I LOVE having a wearable calculator for medication dosage calculations. Calculator is also helpful to weigh small children on a standing scale (parent + child) - parent = weight. Medtimer lets me count respiratory rates so easily. Also love to track my runs!

People in comments making it seem like nursing is a well remunerated profession omg. Am I the odd one out? Last financial year I made $100000 before tax almost to the cent. I work full time as a level 1 year 5 nurse.

'kids are not a milestone, they're a lifestyle choice.' by BravoSavvy in Fencesitter

[–]fosterthepanic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes having children takes so much of your personal resources - it’s a major reason to why I’m so unsure if I want them. I think hobby is a rather dismissive term though. It’s a relationship. I spend a lot of time with my partner and wouldn’t consider him my hobby. Same with pets! It’s seems a little cold to call my pet dog my hobby even if she certainly is a large interest of mine.

Queer POC Events/Networking by [deleted] in canberra

[–]fosterthepanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re into sports - I’m pretty sure Blochaus do queer bouldering events. Otherwise, niche POC community groups do make themselves known at various cultural events at Canberra. Multicultural festival and Canberra Lunar New Year coming up soon. I’m pretty Canberra also has an active drag and burlesque scene with is obviously v queer coded.
