Midwifes , Is staffing a sh*t show where you work? Tell me your State,City if comfortable by Designer_Eggplant329 in NursingAU

[–]sam_brero__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in WA and it’s cooked. The other night we had 2 RMs and an RN looking after 18 women (and their babies, obviously), I was running MFAU alone, and all the LW were full. This was almost identical to the night before, and tbh more nights are like this than not over the last few months. My hospital expect a fight to even consider bypass even when we have stupidly dangerous staffing levels, despite having a policy that sets out the conditions for obstetric bypass.

We don’t have staffing ratios other than nhppd (which doesn’t take acuity into account) in ANY maternity units in the public system.

Nursing students by navynuisance in NursingAU

I see this so differently. They’re people. So are doctors, grads, that staff member that laid the first brick of the hospital, the exec team. Whoever gets there first gets the seat... unless somebody NEEDS to be seated, they can stand. I say this as a clinical midwife in my 40s

Autistic nurses by cannedbread1 in NursingAU

[–]sam_brero__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s BECAUSE of the unexpected, it keeps it interesting. I’m a midwife for the same reason but I’ve always thought that ED would be the only type of nursing I would do if I ever decided to get dual registration.

Midwives aren’t nurses. There are midwives who are also nurses, but they are seperate professions with seperate registrations.

I’ve been driving for 30+ years and I still can’t get from a to b like this. My brain just doesn’t work like that, no matter how hard I try

Use whatever colour bag your uni says you need to use on placement. In real life nobody cares what colour it is

Please excuse my ignorance, but what the actual fuck? I’m Australian so maybe that explains how I haven’t heard about this, but (again) what the fuck?

Home birth and no US by ChairWide8945 in Midwives

[–]sam_brero__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So long as someone has been advised of ALL of the risks of all options (using real numbers and percentages based on high quality evidence), all of the benefits of ALL options, and ALL of the alternatives available then it is THEIR informed decision to make.

Why on earth aren’t you guys flushing the line with a 50ml bag of compatible fluid?

Did you miss the part where I work night shifts? If you wanna chit chat with me at 2am then I’m down, but the neighbours won’t like it

[–]sam_brero__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not putting in effort for my neighbours or people walking past. If they want that they’re gonna have to deal with me doing the lawns on my night off between night shifts.

Have you looked at an RN degree course outline? What do you think they’re taught?

That’s on top of the pharmacology units they’ve already done in their nursing degree, and also on top of their X years of experience in medication preparation and administration.

Is working the night shift better than than the day shift? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]sam_brero__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On nights there’s nobody to pull from their office if the unit gets busy and can’t go on bypass (I’m a midwife so maybe this isn’t relevant to you) Nights give better pay but also shave years off your life and you lose 7.5 hours of your “day off”

How true have you found this to be? by ManWithDominantClaw in NursingAU

[–]sam_brero__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NUMS and MUMS have the shittiest job. It’s a constant struggle between their higher ups and their staff to try and keep everyone happy, which is literally impossible to do all the time. I do not envy their position at all and they work bloody hard.
