I can either book a direct 3 hour flight or take a 36 hour bus trip across 1K miles changing buses 2 times in 2 different non English speaking countries but in big cities, so I assume young people and public facing employees at the bus exchanges to speak some of it...

I'd have to wait between 3 and 5 hours to board the next bus. Optimist me says great! I could go sightseeing, but with a large and heavy backpack this might not be a good idea...

Then there's food, which at bus stations or in tourists areas is neither good nor cheap no matter where you are, personal hygiene, pickpocketing... I'd be traveling solo.

And more noob questions: are travelers allowed to eat in the bus? Am I allowed to bring my own food?

I've read the post again and this looks like a really stupid idea... but did you ever do something like this? Any regrets?

somebody who gets it...

 

German nurse here who doesn't want to work at the bedside. Continuing education's called Weiterbildung here and lasts up to 1 year instead of the regular 3 required for a regular Ausbildung (Apprenticeship).

What most Germans do afaik: they find a company or institution that pays for this continuing education (Weiterbildung), so they learn both practice and theory at the same time and are officially hired after they've finished it. This is what I'm trying to do.

Plan B would be to do this Weiterbildung myself: I'd ask for financial assistance from the federal government, which in my case would cover 50% of my education expenses and reduce the hours I work for my hospital to 8 hours per week not to be fired, but there would be no guarantee that I'm hired after I finish the Weiterbildung to leave the bedside.

As much as I hate working with patients, I like the hospital, 'cause I don't have to commute much.

 

lots of German speaking channels with several hundreds and thousands of members but no content whatsoever, some of them with no posts for the last 6 months...

what happened?

 

I'm a German nurse applying for a job office as a clinical coder. The main reason to leave bedside? I'm tired of dealing with arrogant, non compliant patients and being blamed for things I cannot control: think about the diabetic patient that keeps drinking coca cola or a patient that outright lies to me claiming he took his medication, but he doesn't or being blamed because a patient didn't go to angiology on time because I had to assist with another procedure. There are much more examples but I'll stop now.

I just want a quiet job with regular working hours and to have a life, time and energy for my hobbies. Being a clinical coder could be it. A simple, repetitive, boring office job looks like a blessing as of now.

I don't believe you should find accomplishment in a job: I work because I need the money and I have no idea what to write to imply I'm passionate about assigning numbers to medical cases so my hospital gets paid. It's like being an accountant. What do accountants write in their apps to impress potential employers? I like large and properly filed databases?

It doesn't look good if I write that I'm tired of working bedside (for the reasons I mentioned) and I just want to find a quiet job and go home and leave work at work, does it? But writing that I'm a nerd for figures and love assigning numbers to cases and also love large and properly formatted data files sounds ridiculous.

At the same time, I still don't want to shut the door completely to bedside because it still pays more than this position as a clinical coder and I may decide to go back later in time.

ETA: In Germany we also work with NANDA Diagnosis and Diagnosis-related Groups, like our American counterparts.

 

the idea is to use your soon to be former job as a fallback option.

I'm a nurse looking for an office job, but it can be it turns out to be something I don't like (never worked an office job). I was thinking of giving it 1 to 2 years to see how it is.

If I have to use my current bedside position as a fallback I don't want to change specialties, cause that would mean being treated like a newbie all over again, something I want to avoid.

I get that people are constantly looking for better options and 2 years might be a long time. The current coworkers that make the job amenable might also leave for greener pastures before I come back, if ever.

I see you are incapable of answering a straightforward question and prefer to rant in the void to feel good.

fine it it helps you feel good but... weird.

[–] eli04@linux.community 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

there's asking genuinely and there's asking maliciously and writing absolute nonsense 'You live in Germany, you actually have the luxury to not work. Everyone gets a roof, food and healthcare, even without working.' like the member you defend.

If you consider this an example of a person worth having a discussion with, kudos to you, I'll pass.

But do please enlighten me, what's the whole point of those group projects in school?

[–] eli04@linux.community 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

in your experience, do managers recognize and pay this 20%? This being nursing, I don't believe it's gonna be the case: this is a job nobody wants to do, reason why slackers get away not doing much.

[–] eli04@linux.community 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

their first hour consists of looking for excuses to do nothing but talk with everyone around, whereas I prefer to finish my duties as soon as possible. During the other 7 hours, if somebody from another unit comes to ours, that's another excuse to do nothing for 10 minutes. If while checking vitals somebody gets a funny meme or video sent to her, another 10 minutes go to waste. Something that could be done in 15 minutes like serving food lasts 45. This is what grinds my gears.

And I just want to finish my duties and go home.

It is true that changing jobs might help, but it's also true if people are like this everywhere, I'm going to keep resenting them.

stop feeling offended

[–] eli04@linux.community 9 points 2 months ago (5 children)

so how would a smart person react to this?

I wouldn't worry if we distributed patients: I'd have my patients and do only them, but management expects me to cater to all patients, including the ones from the lazy ones...

Im seriously thinking about becoming like them... I jut hope management doesn't yell a lot when I do that.

work is important to me because I like having a roof, food and healthcare. I don't have the luxury of not having to work.

Are you saying that work is a place to dump your issues or what you did on the weekend to the point of not doing your job? This is something I find very odd. I don't want to work with people with this mindset.

Are you advising me to ignore patients when they call? cause that's what they do and if a job is simply inconsequential, why bother?

Are you also advising me to listen to them when they rant against greens (an ecologist party in Germany) or migrants? It's tiring and closeted racist.

I don't see how my work ethic is the wrong one, or how yours would be better. Better if I want to become a careerist? absolutely. Better if I want to feel good with myself? absolutely not.

 

obligatory I'm a German nurse living in Germany, but the German channels on lemmy don't have as many members as this one, so I ask here.

When I work I like to do my job and then relax. To me, doing it the other way round is just stupid. I was never the kind of person that goes to work to socialize, I don't need it and I strongly resent forced socialization.

For the last 2 years I've worked within the same hospital system and it's clear to me now, nobody thinks like me: all my coworkers spend the first hour of the shift talking about their private lives, as they were looking for excuses not to work and expect anyone else to take care of patients. And because I'm the only one with this job mentality, it's always me the one who works while the rest do nothing.

This is very frustrating and I'm now applying elsewhere, but it bothers me that my new workplace can turn out to be like this.

I'm also applying for office positions (no shifts) and wonder: does this happen there as well? Ideally I'd be completely responsible for my work alone.

I feel like a student at school again, when the teacher forced me to work in a group with the lazier ones and I ended up either doing most of the job or became as lazy as them. Why work when they don't?

I don't want to work with people who slow me down.

 

a normal shift to me means not having a 30 minute pause, but being constantly moving. If you are lucky, you can pause for 3 minutes and drink coffee or juice when nobody is looking.

I finish every shift with sore muscles. Am I the only one?

 

I'm a German nurse interviewing for 9 to 5 office jobs.

If I get one of these jobs, I wanted not to completely leave nursing: my system pays better than other local hospitals and I don't want my experience to go to waste. I wanted to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month, only second shift (shift starts at 12:30 and ends at 21:30), 'cause this is considered the easy shift and I want the extra money, but if I don't like it, I can always change units or just work my office job.

I'm curious to hear answers from both sides of the Atlantic

 

Tropischer Wald sagt, dass ich mehrere Konten bei ihnen habe und dass auf eine Zahlungsrückstände bestehen. Folglich sind meine Konten gesperrt. Dies ist mir neu, da ich selten Sachen hier bestelle.

Die Angestellte der Hotline haben nie verstanden, was ich nun hier schreibe.

Um mit tropischen Wald zu kontaktieren muss ich mich einloggen, was ich nicht machen kann.

Nun suche ich einen Weg, schriftlich diese Firma anzufragen, wie viele Konten ich habe und wie hoch die Zahlungsrückstände sind. Finde aber keinen Weg.

Meine andere Frage ist, ob die DSGVO für email Adressen gilt (ich habe mit einer email Adresse das letzte Konto erföffnet).

 

Eine Leihfirma hat mich kontaktiert und gefragt, ob ich im Krankenhaus zufrieden bin. Mit dieser Firma habe ich nie Kontakt aufgenommen. Wieso wissen sie wie ich heiße, dass ich Pflegekraft bin und dass ich im Krankenhaus arbeite?

Gibt es ein Register, wo Bürger / Firmen herausfinden können, ob man beruflich etwas ist?

 

Momentan suche ich einen Physiotherapeut und der einzige, der sich gemeldet hat, hat kein eigenes SLD (second level domain), sondern eine normale web punkt de Arbeitsadresse, so wie ‘physiotherapieschmidt at web punkt de’ statt z. B. ‘info at physiotherapieschmidt punkt de’

Normalerweise kontaktiere ich nur Ärzte, Anwälte und Fachmenschen, die ein eigenes TLD haben, ich habe es immer so gemacht, da das mir Sicherheit bringt. Weiterhin finde ich es profesioneller.

Irre ich? Wie macht ihr? Ist was ich machen möchte gefährlich?

 

Wenn ein Arbeitnehmer länger als 42 Tage krank ist, wird ein betriebliches Eingliederungsmanagement durchgeführt, habe ich gelesen.

Online habe ich aber Seiten gelesen, die widersprüchliche Informationen geben, deswegen frage ich euch:

  1. Ist das pflichtig für den Arbeitnehmer?
  2. Wenn ein Angestellte 100% arbeitet und er im Verlauf des betriebliches Eingliederungsmanagement zuerst 50% arbeitet, bekommt er in dieser Zeit Lohnfortzahlung für das übrige 50% des Lohnes?
  3. Gibt es Besonderheiten bei Wegeunfällen?
  4. Was noch soll ich wissen?
