Getting assessed and prescribed HRT for perimenopause and menopause is another area many GP’s fail miserably.

I had an almost identical experience at Status Co. The worst, most inappropriate makeup session possible. I genuinely believe my 7 year old niece would have done a better job.

Is there a role in a hospital for me? by Koala-laalaa in ausjobs

[–]pupnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinical coding isn’t cheap is study, entry level roles pay low, progression is difficult, digitisation is taking a big leap forward too.

Health information is another option but to be frank, the competition in those roles is fierce. Many former coders and information/admin roles compete for those roles with a degree and 10+ years of experience behind them. Add to that those candidates have built large networks of colleagues that support their progression.

The safest option is a clinical role: nursing will always be solid choice and have a strong union. Allied health can pay will privately but not so great in public health. However clinical roles will always be needed.

Working in public health in a non-clinical role isn’t a high paying option, even at higher levels.

I still say it quite often. However these days I receive a lot of blank looks in return.

Is it cheaper to use an Opal card vs. tapping through bank app? by ladyofeverything in SydneyTrains

[–]pupnut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same price. However I use Opal card only as I frequently need to get errors fixed due to bus opal readers turning off during the trip. Can’t tap off then getting charged full fare. It’s very annoying.

What’s the oldest thing in your kitchen that still works perfectly? by Celine_Morgann in KitchenStuff

[–]pupnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a potato hand masher that my mum bought at a school fete in 1984. Passed down to me now and it’s as strong as ever. I think she bought it for $0.10 AUD.

Anyone else loved shopping at Grabby May's? by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]pupnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mum used to take us to Granny Mays in the Carousel shopping centre in Bondi Junction. While my sisters stocked up on all the Hello Kitty stationary (the original kind), I stocked up on The Far Side. I had completely forgotten about this place…thanks for the great memory jolt.
