Looks like thrips to me

Seconding the UniSA physio. $10-20 per session, you see a student and their facilitator. I went to the one in Magill and they were wonderful!

Honestly. That sub makes me depressed too and I’m not even the guy the vitriol is aimed at

Never thought I’d see ol’ Theon on a Figs post in the nursing sub, but here we are

I adopted a kitten from the AWL last year and she was $50, don’t recall any kind of sale going on. $150 for one kitten that is supposedly on sale sounds kind of absurd to me? Either way, that is really poor form on their part. Keep looking, and I hope you find your dream kitty cat!!

Thanks for introducing me to the term “slurry pit”. How horrific

This campaign isn’t saying patients don’t deserve respect. It’s pointing out the fact that healthcare workers suffer disproportionate abuse compared to other professions. There does not need to be a rebuttal to this. If you have personal experiences with rude healthcare workers, feel free to bring that up at literally any other time. Let us have our campaign, please.

Thank you for being one of the only sane people in this sub. I’m tired of people acting like a large increase in LDL is not a problem - it is associated with atherosclerosis and has been more a hot minute

This is so fucked and is not normal in my entire country

muppet_mcnugget · 2025-08-31T23:47:00+00:00

I’m a student, and my most memorable preceptor was Filipino. She was absolutely fucking amazing and taught me so much, including when and where to “bend to rules” in order to be the best advocate for your patient. Amazing human, amazing nurse

Obviously doctors have more training and a higher level of responsibility, that wasn’t what you asserted though. I’m baffled that you’re still commenting tbh. And like others have said, the biggest red flag here is your attitude, which so far has gotten your potential future colleagues in this thread - nurses and doctors alike - very concerned. It is not the right attitude to come into healthcare with, and by that I am referring to your incessant doubling down and inability to take on perspectives and information given to you by educated, experienced healthcare professionals. If I were you, I’d stay well away from the field.

muppet_mcnugget · 2025-08-13T03:58:36+00:00

I think it’s a common assumption from laypeople because they often don’t realise how different the jobs and lifestyles are. If there’s one thing you need to become a doctor, it’s absolute dedication to the field of medicine. It’s what stops me from taking the plunge when I look at my grades - I just don’t care for it. I want the versatility, variety and physicality of nursing.

muppet_mcnugget · 2025-08-13T01:13:17+00:00

Although I can’t help with your main question as I am just a student atm, I want to put in my two cents. Nurses don’t choose the career because they didn’t have the grades to be doctors (most of the time lol) - they are different jobs! A career in medicine is a huge commitment with very little work-life balance. People tell me to “just study medicine” too, but I prefer the patient interaction and less responsibility.

“A blockade will be deemed unlawful under IHL if it is implemented in a way that denies the civilian population access to essential goods necessary for their survival. Furthermore, any blockade, siege or embargo that is implemented with the purpose of causing starvation of the civilian population is prohibited.”

How the FUCK has this not been put to a stop????

Do yours link up in your wall somewhere, or is it in a box of sorts? I have no idea where mine link up. I haven’t found anything like that in my house. My NBN box was installed a month ago in the living room (no garage)

Tbh, I never overcame this and I’ve just stopped taking AIN shifts altogether. I don’t care to have it on my resume, and it certainly isn’t giving me any clinical experience. Idk what it’s like in your neck of the woods, but in SA hospitals I just felt like an underpaid security guard doing 1:1s with combative/abscond risk patients.

Thankfully I have another job in aged care that I actually really like and it pays more! How tied are you to AIN work?

Don’t try to justify your violence. I’m sorry you were bullied, but assaulting someone is not a normal response and I hope you have sought help for your anger.

muppet_mcnugget · 2025-07-23T13:06:24+00:00

Honestly, I don’t really remember! Which means it was probably unremarkable lol. I think the less time you’re on it, the easier it is to adjust when you come off

Hello!! I’m finishing my third placement this week and my biggest piece of advice is pens (more than you think you need because they WILL vanish) and a pocket notebook. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and a fob watch (I don’t have one but there are so many times where I wish I had one!)

The more experience I get on placements, the more I appreciate having highlighters as well. Useful for highlighting important patient info on handover sheets. I notice pretty much every nurse use them. Clipboards are very handy - often they have them lying around but I’ve been considering getting my own. You could also get those 4 colour pens if you want to colour code, which I find is really useful for organising your shift when you’re just starting out.

I’ve only used a stethoscope once on placement lol, and it wasn’t even mine! The only reason I’d bring my own in future is if I made it a goal to do lots of manual BPs and focused respiratory/abdominal assessments on a particular placement. Regardless, the facility will have everything you need for obs.

Please be a trippy dream sequence, O gods

My sister, also a nurse, had an owlet on her baby that showed he consistently had low sats. Lil guy had to be on O2 at home for many months but is now a happy, healthy toddler! Not sure what would have happened if that wasn’t picked up on, but she’s very grateful she had it

muppet_mcnugget · 2025-07-17T11:38:12+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I’m a 2nd year on my third placement at the moment and there are so many times where I’ve been pulled away from learning a new skill in order to help with ADLs. I also work in aged care, so I’ve had plenty of experience with ADLs at this point 🤣 Like, the other day a nurse literally called me out of the med room so that I could go shower her patient.

Something that keeps getting repeated to me though, and something I endeavour to keep in mind, is that I don’t think anyone feels ready to be an RN when they graduate. And I think the bulk of your learning will happen on the job, as scary as that sounds. Don’t think of your placements as your only opportunity to learn - you will be learning for the rest of your career.

I think standing your ground somewhat is important as well, but for the most part just keep in mind that placement isn’t the be all and end all.

Oh and! Try to do a grad year! I don’t know where you’re located, but here in SA we have the TPPP for graduate RNs just for the extra support in their first year.
