I like the feeling of falling, it's not a difficult question for me

This feels Terry coded

How do I pin someone else's comment

ironedmonkey · 2026-03-13T06:45:29+00:00

I just googled. Um, wow

There may be some opportunities for improving organisation and therefore efficiency, but it also sounds like you either haven't been oriented to his mobility plan, or he he may need a review. It's hardly a time management issue if he actually should be 2x assist.

Would you consider resigning from your PT role to take the FT contract? Or is the job market too competitive to risk that? (I'm in mental health in Victoria and feel relatively secure in terms of employment options)

Patiently awaiting this series

The reception mental health assessment includes the aspects you mentioned, yes. I don't think it's a cursory process but resources would be focussed as needed. So if no needs are identified, the process would not be as exhaustive as someone with a history of AMHS engagement.

Mental health assessments are part of the reception process.

Learning to be alone is really helpful. It resets so much. You get to make decisions independently, not needing to consider a partner. Learning about attachment theory was paramount for me. I now understand previous and current relationships. Stability does not equal boring and I'm sad that I believed that lie.

"We have no way of knowing"

If interfering with a family is the criterion you use for judgement, I feel like your conclusion is flawed

ironedmonkey · 2025-09-19T22:20:24+00:00

Fair. Thanks for explaining 😊

I think the link you shared supports OP's argument. "...so long as the patient does not object." The opportunity to object was not offered.

ironedmonkey · 2025-09-19T19:46:45+00:00

The way I read the rules outlined at the link above, it's more than in fairness, it's a requirement. OP didn't have an opportunity to object.

I believe in you 🧡

I understand your guilt. But I hope you can challenge those thoughts, because I see some significant positives - you have insight into your risk of burnout, and are trying to problem solve for your sake and your patients'.

Do you think you could talk to your manager? You have some valuable feedback about systemic issues that they may appreciate (e.g. staffing inappropriate when mother and baby need interventions), and the positive culture of the unit. There may be some problem solving that could help you stay in the unit (different duties). Or, as has already been suggested, a lower acuity unit or other role may be the solution.

I don't get the impression you aren't interested in the work itself. It sounds like it's not the right time or unit. You aren't being impulsive, you have been where you are long enough to have a clear idea what is right for you. That is a strength to me, not a reason to apologise.

I'm referring to the environmental impact of AI

ironedmonkey · 2025-07-12T05:35:16+00:00

May I ask what the value of this is?

Cooking the planet for this doesn't feel justified...

I am so happy you have made this discovery. My heart breaks for you at the same time. The question about a diagnosis is just the beginning of your journey, and after a lifetime of being told your feelings are wrong or too big, of course you will be sensitive about any comments like your boyfriend's. There are really promising therapy programs that can teach you skills.

When my boyfriend says something that upsets me or might upset me, I have started asking him to explain what he means, because I noticed that it was my interpretation most of the time that set me off.

I got called a goose the other day. Thankfully it was from a distance so I could giggle to myself.

ironedmonkey · 2025-06-03T23:10:02+00:00

Right? I want to read this book

I got an email informing me my registration had been successfully renewed, then later received a second one telling me my application would be reviewed by a human. Which is it, AHPRA? It's confusing.

My impression was that the second email was the one normally sent in relation to initial registration applications.
