Remember she's in a clinic, so no shift loading. She was up at 5:00 this morning though as they run an early and late shift, she'll get home about 3:30. I'm pretty sure she's on about $50 an hour, maybe a bit more but not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not many nurses earning 70 p/h or the amount of these very high paying jobs very speciality jobs available.

I'd expect at least that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say in well run departments and services there’s team decision making. That’s been my experience on the whole throughout my career. Regardless of ‘rank’. It’s a well known fact that the nurses run the show on most wards and it’s in the junior Dr/intern best interests to make friends with the nursing team. Those attempting to lord it over staff soon come unstuck. Mutual respect is the name of the game. A senior nurses specialist input would likely supersede the junior Drs opinion. In fact most nurses find themselves consulted for opinion by Drs. GPs deferring to expert knowledge of specialist /experienced nurses etc. Of course the accountability lies with the prescriber so nurses are wise to always work within their scope of practice. Unless a Nurse Prescriber not paid to prescribe. As an autonomous practitioner we have to be accountable for our own clinical decision making. Thankfully the Patriarchal medical model is ‘mostly’ dead in the water. Still a few Dinosaurs lurking though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say they are wrong? The thread started in what April. There hasn't yet been a withdrawal of factors making for a deflating of the bubble. I think you will see banks taking own action to slow price increases, We remain in substantial bubble territory, regardless of RBA take on things. Cheap money will not witness a likely house price fall. Wa had a fall you may recall. Prices have only just regained territory lost in terms of pricing.

I'd had the Xrays and a very young doctor was looking over them with me. His older secretary was also in the room. He was really nice and pointing out where the break was, it was pretty obvious to see, then the secretary comes over and says to him "are you sure it's broken" He handled it really well, just said yes and when she'd walked away just rolled his eyes.

Probably affects the clinic KPI's and te boss's bonus. New boss doesn't help out in the clinic much either. From what my wife says I don't think she knows what she's doing, she's not done one canulation yet. Old boss used to come out the office and help when they were really busy. They've also lost a couple of experienced staff and got some new ones in. They have adverts out for staff but it's very specialised work. They've had 2 applications, both from interstate.

I've known so many stressed people working in some socially vocational field, that it appears to be an all too common feature of working life. Often indicative of poor management , an cases a CEO simply not up to the task, or more attempting to impress The Board than 'the team'. I believe hospital Social Workers don't have it good as well. My partner has witnessed incompetency and bullying over the years, often forcing out those working in the clinical, not a hospital setting, but dealing front line social issues area with stress related issues. Too often a result of poor management , (forever revolving door) incompetent CEO's . Basically not a situation to remain for own mental health. This issue is not discussed anywhere near enough. Like so much wiped under the mat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to recruit at the moment everywhere, I've lost a quater of my staff which equates to 2/3 of my nursing team. I try to help out, do home visits and contacts for people, cover or emergency clinician role. We've never been so short staffed in the 14 years i've worked there but to be honest the atmosphere is awesome with everyone pulling together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago she had 4 open houses, 3 sold on the day, and the 4th went under offer a few days later. It seems that people who can now work from home are moving to the coast for the lifestyle. Yeh we are seeing similar in Mackay and Rockhampton in terms of rentals. We operate some motels and get a lot of people staying with us because they have difficulty buying a house at the price they were expecting.

Very low interest rates, first time buyer incentives and the general feeding frenzy at auctions. Also the media saying if you don't buy now next week prices will have increased.

Irresponsible encouraging a frenzy to say the least. These bod's know they will not be held responsible when the bubble deflates. All a question of making as much as possible through what ever means to gain reward. Good to see some banks are issuing warnings. Australia's housing market is badly over inflated. Short term gain and thinking again appears to have won out. Poor governance on all matters housing. Just how and under what conditions are people expected to live in Australia?

If there is a crash, something increasingly being feared in many quarters, there is no saying to the amount of the fall. What is certain is that an end is coming to the present situation. Most likely it will be felt in many countries outside of Australia. It seems little was learnt from 2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
