curious to know what you work as if you've been doing it for 8 years? :)

Hey all, Just curious to know your thoughts on this. All healthcare fields are very niche and so I'm wondering how long do healthcare…

where do we get access to the codeword?

I've emailed a bunch of places! Usually private clinics, yet to try hospitals

I am haha. And yes, I was hoping to shadow, got turned down at a couple clinics but hoping it would open up some time soon. Thank you for…

Seems very tough but I guess some people have to do it :(

Ohh tbh the increments for each added year of experienxe seem to be really little .. You'll only reach 80k after 7 years?

Ohh do nurses, ot's, speech pathologists, physios, radiographers all earn the same amount?

Wow I'm surprised to hear you do night shifts every day 5 days a week! It definitely seems tough, Glad it's working for you though

Wowow did they need to work for a long time before getting these positions? They seem like great jobs to have Havent looked into…

Ohh this makes sense.

Ah, seems like everything is getting saturated these days.. Also the grades.. I've been trying to read the allied health professionals…

Gets to come home early what!! Haha I guess I didn't really consider nursing because I don't want to be super involved in the patients…

Oh damn, thats no good. Def feel for people who are unhappy with their jobs. I'm praying I won't be haha But I assume there'd be annoying…

Which is? :o

Lol!! Will be me too :P What did you end up choosing as your career?

Oh so would it be more difficult to get into Monash?

Lol wow... very scary

Ooo thanks so much for addressing all points and giving me your opinion. The thing with physio I find is that patients might not be as…

Lolll mine too, but they're slowly just going to have to accept that I'm not the child they wanted.. And something I have to slowly accept…

Yay someone who is a radiographer! Do you/your colleagues seem satisfied with the job? In the public system, do all allied health earn the…

Definite pluses. Is your work place accommodating, are you able to put in preferences with your shifts?

Ah sounds difficult to have a social life if your friends have standard 9-5's!! But also can't imagine what it'd be like for those who have…

Yeah I definitely think it's a good idea to sacrifice now bc I definitely don't want to be slaving away when I'm older haha..

Guess we are lucky in Australia but I still feel for those doing shiftwork.. props to you for coping

Wow how many night shifts did you work per week? Did this make up your pay for a normal 5-day 9-5?

Do weekend day shifts pay more than night shifts?? And if so, why is that? Definitely seems like night shifts would be the ones that are…

Yep haha I like that it seems pretty cruisy but it scares me since there's only 1 major place of work which is a retail store.

Yep definitely heard of those negatives with physio and optometry. With radiography I hear pay isn't great unless you do shiftwork? And…

mm have heard of low pay but not sure how it compares to other health careers in aus
