I’m a nurse. Ask me anything about nursing

[Keeptrucking]

Yes. Medical students and junior doctors are super busy cos of the studies and hours.  Once they are at higher level like registrar and above, it's better.  Of cos those who go and become GP also have good hours but again, GP are not junior doctors

no wonder i think a lot of female doctors are single and on dating apps. is it true? other than lack of time, i guess also harder for them to find a parter because of their social status?

This one I dunno.  I know some male doctors marry nurses but I haven't met one female doctor marry a male nurse

I see thanks. Is a doctor who worked for six years or so in a public hospital considered senior or junior?

In terms of experience, relatively senior.  But in terms of rank, it depends how you consider it.  Probably only at MO or beginner Registrar level.  Not likely to be consultant or specialist level.

An example would be in the army where someone fails ippt. Maybe stick at 2SGT level for years.  Is he senior? Of cos .  He know how to do the stuff.  But rank wise?  He's considered quite junior or middle to the WO

There will always be stories.  But last time I got friends attached to old Changi hospital and they tell me at night they can feel things floating past them.

This was second half of 1990 before they moved to the new building

I saw this thread on edmw.  Anyway, one of the superstitions of nurses is don't eat Bao at work.  But my friend told me we all got it wrong.

Cos Bao is supposed to mean pack which means we will pack bodies or do CPR and last offices.  So what this means is the Bao doesn't mean bun but pack as in da Bao

So my friend joke that that is why we are always so busy in the department.  Cos while we are studiously avoiding eating Bao in the department, we are happily packing food "da Bao" into the department everyday 😂

But yes another superstition is never say at the beginning of a shift that it looks like its gonna be a quiet shift
