F.U.2, Grapps.

aquascoot and his wife both work hard but aquascoot runs 2 businesses and hence , is rewarded for his services.

unfortunately, the entitled population of bottom feeders who treat our public hospitals like their own personal hotel have no concept of anyone but their own narcissistic miserable selves

in business we would call such people "lead customers' and we would jettison them

unfortunately in the health system, they cant be jettisoned

they just turn up over and over, expecting nurses to be their personal bed servants.

nurses morale has hit rock bottom

i expect a mass exodus because the younger generations coming thru are certainly not of the mindset to "serve without complaint"

I don't suppose you'd like to take a wild guess at what is causing this crisis?

And not just in Queensland, it's happening all around Australia.

Perhaps you could shoot off a quick email to your hero, Dr. Death/Lex Luthor Gerrard and ask him? 

Hint: Properly fitted high quality masks worn by ALL healthcare workers would go a long way towards solving this crisis.

It wouldn't do a damned thing. My son is a nurse at GCUH in emergency and he's thinking of how to exit, nothing to do with masks.

Good God!

I would rather take the chance and operate on myself (or ask my 94 year old aunt to do it) rather than go to that hospital.

Says a lot about the state of Queensland's health system (and their useless CHO), doesn't it?

But, I guess it isn't as bad as the South Australian health system sh!tshow at the moment... but I'm sure they're catching up fast. And the rest of the States and Territories are not far behind.

I take it that you have not been watching any Paralympics in the past 16 years?

My daughter is 19 years old. She is probably 6 months away from finishing her nursing degree. I think she said that she wanted to join the military, or has joined the military. "Duntroon" she said. 80 years ago, it was "Wooloomooloo" But I think she could do well at "Shaolwater".

But she said this 2 years ago, when she was dragging my 100kg arse up the front steps. I doubt a high school senior weighing 50kg needs to be dragging their drunk father upstairs, just because he decided he needed to finish the bottle, instead of leaving it as a tip to the host of the BBQ.

LTYC is very cynical.

cynicism , like pot and grog and porn is just an enormous cope.

its what people do when they KNOW they have more to contribute but they are just too dammed lazy  to do it

they just behave as  a smart ass and then it lets then off the hook for any hard work

i doubt LTYC would last one 8 hr shift with my missus, much less 3 decades of grind

cynicism is just  'sour grapes" at an existential level

I hear the Cool Aid is nice even if a little bitter.

hi there dumb dumb .

one of the rorts being run was that staff automaticly got 7 days paid leave if they could test positive .

of course, most were assymptomatic as we know this is a very weak virus

much less then influenza A my missus tells me

as YOU pointed out some old guy in aged care has had covid 5 times

how weak is this virus 

anyway, management got sick of staff posting on facebook at the beach or at dreamworld when they were supposedly "sick" with covid , so they cut if back to only 2 claims a year.

of course all the slackers just keep their one positive RAT and then message a pic to the nurse unit manager when they want a week off at taxpayer expense

and because AS I POINTED OUT TO YOU   46 % of nurses are thinking of quiting and they are already worked to death by old fat immobile entitled dickheads pissing the bed thru laziness, when staff take a week off the others just get smashed even harder

so yes covid has made nursing much worse and a lot of good nurses are leaving due to the fat lazy entitled buzzer ringing patients.

it has nothing to do with covid you clown

now you and gweg get your elderly relatives up to cas so the burnt out staff can care for them whilst you and gweg lecture us on trump for the 140,000th time

and then you can tell us how virtuous you both are

The Royal Military College Duntroon was established 113 years ago .... and is still in operation as an Officer training facility.

HMAS Mindari - the Naval gunnery training centre was at Woolloomooloo from 1945 to 1948 - 3 years then decommissioned. The building called the Gunnery still stands.

Shoalwater Bay is a 4,500 sq kilometer military training ground just north of you.... been in operation since 1965. 59 years.

Which church do you preach? I might drop by and sit in on the congregation.

Ltyc means well. He is just too cynical at times. That is what happens when you don't have a father figure in your life. You lash out and provoke people into responding.

I saw this kind of behaviour back in the days of my pizza delivery runs. One customer came in complaining about the fact that his daughter got sick from a spicy chicken pizza. The manager tried to reason with the man about the store policy, claiming that "no one else got sick" that night. He was the only complainant. It got to a point that no matter how much the manager tried to reason with the man, he just would not change his obstinant behaviour. It got to the point that after 10 minutes of reasoning with the man, she just told him to "f. off".

Touche`on the coping mechanisms. About two months ago, it was quite cold up here. I collapsed on the floor after a heavy night of drinking. The last time I collapsed on the floor like that, was during a time when I had an untreated stress fracture of the leg. I got up and went to bed. I had the biggest hangover the next day. Back in early July (post SoO 3), I collapsed onto the floor. Doctor said that I was ill from a ministroke. Started my 12 steps a week later. I am 4 or 5 weeks away from being fully recovered.

I get the feeling that you could not last 8 hours with your wife, other than sleeping. I bet I could do 2 hours with your wife, go have lunch for an hour, come back and finish up the shift. And if I do a poor job with her as my supervisor, she could reprimand me.

My apologies, Gnads. There is not much better than GCUH, according to the national rankings.

The Colonial military, consisting of the army and navy kept "Australia" safe for the first 20 years of Australia's 'inception'.

I have 'trained' at Shaolwater Bay in my late teens. I was given the option of joining the reserves and preparing for East Timor. Or I could get on the piss with the other reserves who had just completed training. So, I decided that since I was already there, I could give the basic training a go. Having completed a school-based First Aid the year before, it all came down to learning how to shoot; basic fighting stances; when to piss; what to watch for in the jungle (remember this was north of Yeppoon -- tropical conditions); countering sleep deprivation techniques -- remember, the actual army reservists were still having their booze ups. Then we did some orientation.

After about 5 days of basic training, I was allowed to have a BBQ with the other soldiers. Except the guys that were wearing the SASR headwear were no longer around. They were being deployed overseas. In their place was about 20 "Jar heads" with American accents. Operation "Tandem Thrust" was underway.

They let me eat with them. They let me drink with them. Some of them even ordered in some ladies from nearby Byfield. It was a pretty wild night. But my mouth got me in trouble when I criticised American politics. Some laughed. Others said that they know people who live there. Apparently, they were not earlier talking about "a boat". They were talking about "about". Hence the misinterpretation.

I slept out near a tree. One of the Byfield ladies slept near me, to get away from the rabble. Then she slept on top of me, to keep me warm. I heard that she nicknamed me "Matt Rest". Then there was a bit of a commotion at the camp site where one of the Canadian 'soldiers' was 'harassing' the lady. One of the 5 other Aussie boot campers that stuck around that week, phoned in the military police -- who took their sweet time. Good thing that we had locals who knew how to shoot and fight, to pre-empt the M.P.

I slept off the night. The next morning, the Canadian SAS were packing up to move on their patrols. Having been hungover, dehydrated and bruised, I took my time "getting ready to leave". My backpack contained a map, compass, flick knife, torch, flare and 2 x 1 litre bottles of water. After using the outhouse provided, I got out to find that the backpack had all items except for a 1 litre bottle of water. In its place was a box of matches, a lighter, and a jar of vaseline. It also had a note that read "Let's see what you are all 'aboat'".

There revolting again today.

How can this labor government afford to keep all the overseas commissioners that the corrupt Glady government put in place but can’t afford to pay nurse’s the same rate as Qld?

Why is Nsw such a totally broke basket case of a state?
