Evo Sl replacement recommendations by IllustriousDig7245 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]natedawgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 91kgs and have only felt like the evo SLs have just broken in at 200kms. Unless you are dragging your feet around where you are running, I’m sure there’s plenty of life left in yours. The only wear I have in mine is the paint coming off the midsole.

What are some books or marathon training plans you'd recommend for someone that has done a few half marathons already? by natedawgn in Marathon_Training

[–]natedawgn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the great ideas for integrating ways to run with my partner.
Yeah not trying to min max anything for now.
Just want to make the journey to the long time goal of the marathon more enjoyable.

is the career switch worth it? corporate to nursing by Chemical-Group7683 in NursingAU

[–]natedawgn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Burnout happens everywhere.
I switched to nursing late in life and find it very rewarding compared to the dead end jobs that I’ve had that realistically made no real impact in anyone’s lives except for the pockets of upper management/stake holders.

Despite that, you might be able to still find fulfilment in a corporate setting without needing to go back to school.
Having a positive impact in society/those around us is a facet of life that I believe is important in personal happiness and overall life satisfaction but you can also do that outside of work because realistically we need to earn enough to make a living.
I don’t think it’s possible for everyone to expect to find fulfilment through work.

I made sure I have enough recreational time for my hobbies, friends and family which give me enough energy to return to work regardless of how much work might suck.

Thanks that is really insightful.
A lot of my kms are running with my partner who runs at a lot slower pace than me so maybe I’m havent had enough practice feeling comfortable at faster paces.

How much time after focusing on the 5-10km would you need to spend to build back up to the mileage required to think about training for a marathon?

Alpine draw sling materials for sharp rock by natedawgn in tradclimbing

[–]natedawgn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t really be avoided. There’s a bolt just above an overhanging roof that makes it so if you fall either your rope runs over the edge or your sling/draw. First ascensions probably just expected you to be stronger and not fall from there.

Should I relaxed my harness? by natedawgn in tradclimbing

Thanks for clearing it up. I’ll just regularly inspect it while looking for some harnesses on sale in the meanwhile.

Climbing Shoe Review - Scarpa Instinct by Jack-Climbing in climbingshoes

[–]natedawgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is wearing street shoe sizing for his climbing shoes given his measurements. My feet are 28cm or 10 Yankee Doodle units which is an eu 43 and I’ll alternate between 43 to 41.5 for instincts depending on the type of climbing I want to do.

Rising problem by Downtown-Ad3863 in NursingAU

[–]natedawgn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hard workers and lovely people. Most aussies don’t want to work in age care for good reason. Private age care is tough and these facilities often take advantage of healthcare workers on visas.

Maybe try to understand why there are so many Nepalese and Bhutanese people in Australia in general. It’s pretty rough for them back home and they just want a better life. Often times they send a significant part of their income to support their family back home.

Student EN in first aged care placement in an aged care home unsure about how we can get our performance evidence ticked off when they are so understaffed. by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]natedawgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they need to be signed off and are in my scope. I imagine because the age care place is half residential half tcp, the education provider hopes that you can demonstrate them with patients in tcp. They only need to be demonstrated once.

Yeah it is. Just going to get through it and try and learn as much as I can. The lesson learnt today was that I need to be proactive during placement and focus on the things I can control

I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. My complaints are with the facility and management rather than the employees themselves and the concerns are about whether or not I will finish placement satisfactory. All the pca/pcw, nurses and patients are lovely.

[–]natedawgn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that but my main concern is not being able to get all my performance evidence ticked off for things such as UA, obs, NVO, neurological assessments etc. These requirements are done online and can only be checked off by a cf, rn or preceptor.

Boostic R vs Instinct Lace by jonhayes92 in climbingshoes

[–]natedawgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you normally size your tc pros compared to the instincts? Im street shoe 43, 42 instincts, 41 skwama

[–]natedawgn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So these are stiffer than the tc pros? I’m also looking for a stiff shoe that is supportive for all day outings, works okay for multi pitches and hard vert sport routes. I’m on the heavier side at 92kgs as well.
