At UWS we have 1 half day/wk in 2nd year for procedural skills (ABG, venepuncture, cannulation, NGT, etc) which is taught by experienced nurses. Tbh I thought it was pretty good and prepared us well enough for clinical years.

UWS medical school has a completely distinct building and teaching staff from the rest of the university. I don't really know or care to verify whether UWS teaches or taught woodwork, but I don't believe it's relevant. There are no consultants from UWS because the medical school is <10 years...

Hehe wut? Probably the one of the highest complete bullshit to words ratios I've seen - not even sure where to start but I'll explain this shit for the sake of future med students and at the risk of feeding a troll. 1. Can't compare law to med in terms of career advancement 2. "Might of the...

Is Blacktown paperless in any of the wards yet? I remember they trialed paperless in surg 2 back in 2013 but never heard what happened following that.

I've never heard of tiers for med programs and certainly wouldn't let it be a deal-breaker in picking a university. I'd prefer to do 2 years as an unaccredited reg (maybe doing a masters, getting more references or doing research) than spend an extra 2 years in uni to do a research project which...

Interesting read, definitely worth a look if you're considering medicine! Out of curiosity, which hospital were you at as a JMO/RMO? 60 hour working weeks isn't the norm from what I've heard (mainly heard of closer to 50 for interns) so I'm guessing you're at one of the bigger hospitals. Also...

PGY = Post-graduate year (i.e. how many years out of uni you are) Interns/Residents (PGY1/PGY2) - about 45-50 hours on average I believe, I've known of people who do more and people who do less. A lot of hospitals will offer you the option of taking on more rostered overtime shifts if you'd...

No regrets so far. Some of the posts in this thread are a little bit over the top - you're going to be working long shitty hours no matter what career you pick while you're junior. The situation improves when you're senior. This advice can be applied to law, engineering, whatever. I'd like to...

Don't lose hope yet because of how you think you went in the interview, you may be pleasantly surprised. If you're not keen to move out of NSW then your options are pretty much limited to what you've already listed; otherwise, with 99.90 and 95 UMAT you're basically guaranteed Griffith/UQ and...

I'd like to add that a lot of universities will take into consideration your ATAR if you decide to transfer to a different course after your first year

I second the recommendations for Physics in Focus and Jacaranda, they're both solid. I would exercise caution with Excel, it sometimes has misleading or flat out incorrect information (particularly if you buy an older edition). It's probably not that much better than using notes as it lacks the...

Definitely possible, I got 99.90 without any coaching/tutoring at any point. A good tutor will certainly be able to put you in the right direction and provide materials but how much it'll actually help depends on what your learning style is.

i studied physics over my summer holidays (and also went to the physics olympiad summer school) and came 1st, it's certainly doable if you do it properly.

sure it's possible but you'll definitely have to come first and you'll need to both know the syllabus extremely well and know how to structure your answers to questions

Re: 2013 HSC physics marathon 5.2 - 7.2 is only for the apollo spacecraft, you'll have to specify that if you want to use that range in your answer

To is the time as measured in the rest frame (i.e. from inside the ship). Tv is the time taken as observed by anyone not in the rest frame. In this scenario, the observer would be someone outside the ship standing still as the ship passes at 0.5c

hey guys, thanks for the feedback. there seems to be some interest for this so i'll take a shot at it soon the plan is to have one video for each dot point, where i will cover the theory (which will all be taken from notes+textbooks) and then work through a practice question at the end. making...

this stuff is almost impossible to call unless your school is top 15 with pretty consistent marks, just wait it out till marks are released

hey guys, i graduated in 2010 and have been tutoring physics for 2 years now. i'm thinking about making a series of youtube videos systematically covering every dot point in the core modules of hsc physics (in the same style as khanacademy) for free use by anyone who wants them. does this kind...
