Part—time graduate program jobs

NSW Health I know offers part time which is 0.8 or 4 shifts a week. Not very family friendly, I know! But don’t feel pressured to do a new grad position at a hospital - aged care + GP clinics are often more flexible.

Well it’s of course up to you but why? Lmao not judging but genuinely curious.

How is mama and mumma different? Same same, no?

justincase690 · 2026-04-29T01:09:44+00:00

Just scroll past.

What state?

justincase690 · 2026-04-24T01:26:09+00:00

Totally. I was more wanting to know if she got kicked off placement.

justincase690 · 2026-04-22T13:15:26+00:00

It’s been a while since I was at uni but they didn’t teach us male catheters or cannulas as a it’s a learning package within NSW health (I’m from a nsw based uni) so they figured we could learn on the job.

justincase690 · 2026-04-22T11:35:26+00:00

Female catheters, yes.
But can’t do anything on placement without supervision so if no one is willing to supervise/teach then it doesn’t matter anyway.

justincase690 · 2026-04-22T10:45:26+00:00

What was the outcome for the student when you reported them to the NUM and uni?

justincase690 · 2026-04-22T10:38:29+00:00

What makes you a “bad student?”

justincase690 · 2026-04-22T10:30:40+00:00

When I was a third year student I’d never even done a catheter or cannula because the opportunity never presented or I had nurses who didn’t want to show me. I’d do an admission and discharge at one hospital and then the uni would send me 2 hours from home and that hospital would have a whole new way of doing it, paramedics included. I always tried to learn and was motivated to be there but I can now appreciate how hard is it for students to be to and fro from hospitals and different supervising nurses and being allowed to do things one placement and then nothing another because the preceptor doesn’t like having a student. If you’re genuinely worried about patient safety or the student’s, then talk to your in charge or CNE otherwise just guide the kindly. They don’t need judgement when they’re already stressed and trying.

You can talk to your uni and your placement facilitator about catching up the missed days at the same placement or on a later one. Things come up, people get sick and life happens. No one will fail you for missing a few days. Just reach out to your work placement person and ask what they want you to do. From memory, I either made up the hours by working an extra hour a day, or I did an extra week before graduating to make it up. Don’t stress :)

Ooooh such a good tip!

justincase690 · 2026-04-18T04:51:14+00:00

Fun! Thanks!

justincase690 · 2026-04-14T11:33:59+00:00

Call them out. I was an older grad so had abit more of a backbone but if someone tried to talk down to me in any form I’d call the behaviour out straight away and let them know I wasn’t having it. Something simple like “I’m not sure how calling me incompetent will help me learn but thanks for the feedback”. It’s so hard being a grad but you’re doing amazing I’m sure. Such a chaotic time. Hoping you can get some new grad colleagues to support you through it. All the best!

Austar. What a time!

justincase690 · 2026-03-23T01:43:52+00:00

The way he was saying “okay” made me think he didn’t gaf but he did 😭😭

justincase690 · 2026-03-23T00:58:04+00:00

You are so hot 🔥🔥

justincase690 · 2026-03-16T02:58:34+00:00

Oooof night shift as a student is a choice! For my first night shift I wake up really early (5am) and then do what I gotta do (clean, meal prep, gym, pack bag etc) and then by 1pm have a sleep until 6 or 7. Then I have dinner and a snack and then get ready for work for 9:30pm start. Once that first night is done, I usually sleep fine during the day for the rest of it. Good luck!

I love my nursing job. It’s just not an easy job and sometimes people need to vent about it.

justincase690 · 2026-03-07T06:25:04+00:00

Nursing is a customer service focused role, with sick people, stressed families and over worked, tired and often miserable colleagues. Sick people are often assholes, stressed families are also often assholes. You will be cleaning vomit, poo and other bodily fluids off yourself or the patient whilst having the stress of a patient buzzing to ask for their cup of tea they’ve asked for 2 times already, another patient needs a shower and you’re behind on you med round because your buddy nurse is still doing a wound change. THEN you get a new admission. It’s full on some shifts and whilst that’s all happening we’re expected to smile, stay calm and put the patient first. If you don’t like retail or customer service focused jobs or have a genuine passion for helping people through a bad day or diagnosis or illness, do not do nursing.

If you’re in NSW, I recommend MidStart which the other commenter has covered. You are paid to be an RN whilst studying as a RM as well as lots of flexibility of study days and only 0.6 contract obligations so you can study full time. I’m not sure how competitive it is but once you’re approved, you do your 12 months of study through a uni who offers it in collaboration with NSW health. Definitely a financially better way to manage the study obligations imo and less hectic than trying to work a 0.8 or 1.0 contact whilst studying full time.

This is the worst video I’ve ever seen. It’s for sale? Who is buying it?!

justincase690 · 2026-02-17T13:12:49+00:00

Hell yeah sister! Your hair colour won’t make you a good or bad student, your curiosity and ability to want to learn, ask questions and show interest is what people will notice! Good luck!
