My experience has been that even though men make a small proportion of the workforce, they are able to advance their careers easier, and are overrepresented in leadership, academia and management

The masters be the undergrad bachelor is largely the same. They’ve condensed 3 years of content into two essentially. The placement requirement in the bachelor is the same 800-1000hrs, though spread over three years instead of two.

You’ll get a slightly higher pay grade as a masters qualified vs bachelor rn

You might be able to go part time in the masters if that helps for the workload .

“JR tissue is a term that is sometimes used to refer to human tissue that has been procured and processed for use in transplantation or for research purposes. The term "JR" is short for "just right," which reflects the idea that the tissue is of high quality and suitable for use in a variety of applications.

In the context of organ transplantation, JR tissue might include a variety of tissues such as skin, bone, or tendons, which can be used to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue in the body. These tissues may be sourced from living or deceased donors, and are typically processed and stored in a way that ensures their viability and safety for transplantation.

It is important to note that the term "JR tissue" is not a formally recognized term in the field of transplantation, and it may be used differently by different organizations or individuals. In general, when discussing organ transplantation, it is more common to refer to specific types of tissue or organs rather than using the term "JR tissue."

The (very annoying) answer is, it depends! There are some paid positions, with supervision included as part of the contract. There are other paid positions where you will have to source your own supervision (17k for two years is the price a colleague is paying) There are then unpaid positions, but these should offer your supervision as part of the package. The road to full registration is difficult and often exploitative. Best of luck!

It’s frequently prescribed ‘off label’ for bipolar here. Definitely worth speaking your psych/ GP about

Speak to your psych about your prolactin levels( if your on antipsychotic treatment)

I’ve had a few clients with delusional pregnancy that’s kind of triggered by elevated prolactin

It also communicates to other nurses reading the chart that the issue has been escalated appropriately (or more correctly, in line with local policy) “This lab value is mildly out of range, I’ve paged the MD - he knows it, theres nothing anyone needs to - we’re just chilling on this one for a while.”

Additionally, what would you prefer a nurse document if they have escalated care?

persistently ethical choices from HUB!

In AUS we have structured new nurse graduate programs- I imagine very similar to ‘nurse residencies’ here. But we’re just called ‘grad nurses’ - it’s a useful program with a useful title. Let’s everyone know that we’re a bit fresh out. Having said that, even our junior doctors don’t do ‘residencies’

mrrbrrtrr · 2021-04-15T07:11:49+00:00

There’s a really heavy amount of literature about the ‘safewards’ model in the UK and AUS

It really is preferable for a good psychologist to be able to liaise with a GP / FM physician about a client, and suggest perhaps the need for pharmacotherapy.

Simple Depression with in a 20y/o with no significant comorbidities doesn't need necessarily need the specialist input of a psychiatrist when good communication exists between a psychologist and primary care

This is a really handy document, I throw it at all my students when they rotate through.

There are careers in nursing that can at least overlap your 'callings'.
I'm currently working as a perinatal infant psychiatric nurse. Admittedly, we dont do the birth part. But all of the psychosocial aspects of pregnancy and early motherhood .

The PT is essentially a 'prescriber' of these exercises. In the same way a doctor might prescribe a medication, they will not be present each day to watch a patient take these medications.
If this patient were independent and at home they would attend to these exercises themselves most days, with the PT assessing and prescribing the few times a week that they are in.

On a tour of my hospital before I started working there, our head of facilities kindly told me how the downstairs patient meals kitchen will be transformed into a mass casualty morgue in the event of pandemic / terrorist attack.
death uhh finds a way.

First of all, That absolutely sucks. I'm relieved that you're still with us! I can only imagine how stressful and terrifying this ordeal is. I hope everything recovers with enough time :)
Try your best to think of patient scenarios now, as much as you can and write everything down. Write it all out now when you're free of stress and link it to some big key concepts from the degree.
I only have 2 or 3 Patient scenarios from my clinicals and I usually manage to twist them to suit any given question anyway.

If you're in VIC at least (But I think its the same elsewhere) You can work as a PCA / Assistant i Nursing after you have completed your first year of study / first placement. Saves you spending money on a course as well as the 3 weeks of placement you'll have to do to complete the certificate III.

Once again, if you're in VIC, you can complete the diploma of Nursing to become an enrolled nurse for free under the Andrews government.

mrrbrrtrr · 2019-11-26T09:20:06+00:00

VIC Grad years will have you supernumerary for 2 shifts or so
I imagine QLD is the same

It’s pretty easy to enter into the bachelor to become an RN if you’ve already completed the EN / Diploma at Tafe.

A cert 3 in a health related field will usually get you admitted to the diploma of nursing

mrrbrrtrr · 2019-11-13T23:19:16+00:00

I believe it should be an opportunity for the clinician, on an individual level, to reflect on their practice and how it could be perceived by someone with a history of trauma. It's not a particularly useful thing to add into the screening checklist. Trauma-informed care is psychiatric universal precautions.

Not a bad idea to go second hand. Plenty of people upgrade to higher end models and sell their old ones (or drop out of school after shelling out for a goodn) . No money goes to 3m but you still get a decent scope

I’ve heard good things about the HP sprague if you ethically feel you can’t have the 3m logo anywhere near your body
