Scut Monkey Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Oh man, wish i got paid for work experience! We dont get it even if it is over summer Im doing nursing at uni and we get stuck doing most of the hard and gross stuff and dont get paid a cent! I don't get paid on any of my other placements for the next two years which sucks since often they're in rural locations so I have to pay for travel in addition to having to stop working my part-time job. I only get paid on this one because it was voluntary and I applied for it. Ah I see. Well, all the best with those deferred exams... But $7! Sorry, isn't that below the minimum wage? Thanks, I'll need all the luck I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta suck.....they should at least give some travel allowances......im just glad im in a small enough town that it isnt necessary to do rural placements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senyorita12003 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 do u mind me asking where bout you are?? Yeah im in Bundaberg (QLD). Not exactly rural, but not exactly a city either, so im guessing because were not that big is why we dont do rural placements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House prices have risen (as has practically everywhere) but compared to down south.....its pretty affordable.....alot of old ppl live here, they retire and move to bundaberg and buy cheaper property. Oh and did i mention bundy rum is on tap EVERYWHERE here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolene Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Guys!! Have prob missed half of you now anyway, but just wanted to pop in a say hi before I disappear again. Have been so busy doing work stuff the last few days (and trying to have a RL!) but have missed being on here! I am currently sitting in my hotel room in Darwin, which is always quite nice, but even more so tonight as they gave me an "upgrade" I took this to mean I would get one of the rooms with 2 queen beds in it (makes no difference to me as I am only 1 person and can only sleep in one bed at a time ) but when I opened my door up I discovered they had given me like the honeymoon suite with a massive balcony overlooking Darwin Harbour (and an outdoor spa) a mazzive lounge/entrance, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and then UPSTAIRS is another lounge/office area, king size bedroom, a dressing room bigger than my bedroom at home, massive bathroom with another spa..................... WTF am I supposed to do with all of this??? I am here by myself????? It's a really nice thought of them to upgrade me, but all I can think of is next week when we go on our family holiday all 4 of us (and Mum for the first night!) will be squashed into a tiny hotel room Now the decision is- indoor or outdoor spa? And if anyone wants to come party with me you are more than welcome to, but I have to check out at 830 in the morning to go to work so you may not make it here in time:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 What do you mean even the Robin Hood season is over now??? Did they show the second season and I've missed it???!!! Bugger! Oh I don't think it's been on tv here yet, don't worry. It's finished in the Uk, I've been downloading it Hey I didn't know I should be blaming the writer's strike either. Apart from the fact that Heroes isn't on Channel 10, I would have been saying the same thing cos Channel 10 seem to have a talent for stuffing their viewers around. I do think they have the best shows, but they jerk us around and it annoys me. I remember all the times that BB ran overtime into Supernatural time - that used to p!ss me off. And then they seriously mucked around the time of Torchwood.... I've actually stopped watching a lot of shows I used to love, cos I just can't be bothered with Channel 10. Eurgh, BB sucks, and Channel 10 is the worst for running over time, especially with Big Brother. Ridiculous times, like 20 minutes, etc, I can't stand it. Yes, in Morocco there are night markets. The atmosphere is amazing, people out shopping late into the night, performers and musicians, food and drink. It's out of this world. I'm a Pharmacy student so I'll be doing a placement in a hospital. I'll be alternating between working in the dispensary and working on the wards. I even get paid this time around because it's the summer (granted I won't be getting paid much but every cent will count after this trip ). *Adds Morocco to "Places to visit" list* I assume everyone else already knows this, but what are you doing in Morocco? Sounds like fun, and some money is better than none. I'm doing 3 different volunteerings, granted, I haven't been as ... consistent since I handed in my applications there are days where they advertise something after the show has already been on, or they advertise something then put something completely different on, usually the simpsons, i always say "oh channel ten is hitting shuffle again" mind u i still mostly only watch channel ten....big brother was my first obsession!! Kind of random, but has anyone seen the Lost advert channel 7 has been using that looks like they swiped it off youtube? Sweet........i have til the end of this year and im done studying wooooot! And then i'll be an RN (heres hoping) What's this talk of a shortage of RNs in Australia? Every second person seems to be one; my dad, one of my friends (in training), my brother's ex, you guys, etc. lol.

What's that? Never heard of it Waah, that's no fair. What are you supposed to do? 1. Take off shoes. 2. Turn on Mika (a CD, lol) 3. Run back and forth through all the rooms, jump on beds, etc, etc. Indoor/outdoor? Why choose, 10 min in one, 10 min in other, repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is The Coffee club, I however do not own any part of it, am just a poor little slave Wish I did own the franchising part of the business though (that's who I woek for) as the 3 directors just sold half of the company to another company for something like $53m- not bad for 3 guys from Brissie, hey! Might be back in a little while if I can't sleep (it is nice sitting by the balcony though, but if I don't sleep I will be tired and grumpy in the morning!)

Just in Morocco? Aww, I'm so jealous. With animals - in a vet, a wildlife rescue and dog shelter. First two I enjoy because their interesting, last one I do because it's the best fun (sad isn't it?).

Big brother is just some sad people hanging around in a house, I don't understand why it exists ... I can hang around in my own house thanks, don't need to watch other people doing it. A friend's brother's friend was on BB once ... still wasn't interesting. But, yeah, I also watch biggest loser, didn't get too into the american season just finished though, only saw a few episodes. I also watch Kid Nation, because they are just adorable. Did anyone see the 9 year old who left because he missed his girlfriend? It was soo cute.
