Rapid Response Team meds.

Know what they are (and what they do!) before you're opening the resus drug box at 3am.

💉 Lignocaine → Refractory VT/VF; local anaesthetic

💉 Amiodarone → Shockable arrest algorithm; AF; VT

💉 Magnesium Sulfate → Torsades de Pointes; hypomagnesaemia; severe asthma; eclampsia

💉 Sodium Bicarbonate → Severe metabolic acidosis; hyperkalaemia; sodium channel blocker toxicity

💉 Naloxone → Opioid toxicity

💉 Metaraminol → Hypotension

💉 Adrenaline → Cardiac arrest; anaphylaxis; severe bradycardia

💉 Calcium Chloride → Hyperkalaemia; calcium channel blocker toxicity; hypocalcaemia; Hyperkalaemia

💉 Glucose 50% → Severe hypoglycaemia

💉 Atropine → Symptomatic bradycardia

The best time to learn what's in the box is not when someone asks you to open it.

💾 Save this for your next shift or deterioration OSCE.

This is what a day on the MET page actually looks like as a MET lead.

Real calls. Real clinical decisions. The kind of stuff they don't teach you in simulation labs or nursing school.

If you're a nursing student, grad nurse or junior doctor wondering what running the page actually looks like, this one's for you.

I spent the weekend marking 47 assignments. And honestly? I could tell within the first two lines whether a student was heading for a fail, a pass or a distinction.

It's not about word count. It's not about sounding smart. It's about one thing most students completely miss right from the opening sentence.

If you're a nursing student, med student or allied health student with assignments coming up - watch this. And share it to anyone who needs it.

I've also put everything I know as a marker and lecturer into an assignment blueprint - link in the comments 👇

The 4 H’s and 4 T’s are not a shopping list.

Yes, you need to systematically work through every reversible cause. But not like this:

“It’s not hypoxia.”
“It’s not hypovolaemia.”
“It’s not hyperkalaemia.”
“It’s not tension pneumothorax.”

That’s not clinical reasoning. That’s alphabet aerobics.

What I want to hear is:
“Hypoxia is unlikely to be the primary cause because the patient had normal respiratory function prior to arrest, but we’ll optimise oxygenation with a definitive airway and ventilate with 100% oxygen.”

“There is likely at least relative hypovolaemia given the patient has arrested, so we’ll ensure 2x wide-bore access and run a litre of saline stat.”

“Hyperkalaemia is possible given the renal history/ECG changes, so let’s treat empirically while confirming with blood gas.”

The acronym is there to structure your thinking — not replace it.

Good resus leadership sounds like:
• Recognise the pattern.
• Explain your reasoning.
• Optimise what you can.
• Treat what fits.
• Keep reassessing.

That’s the difference between reciting ALS…

…and actually leading ALS.

ChatGPT can help you write your assignment…
…in the same way scissors can help you cut your own bangs at 2am. ✂️💀

AI is a tool, not a substitute for critical thinking, clinical reasoning, or actually understanding your content.

3 ways to use AI smarter:
• Use it to brainstorm structure and ideas
• Get feedback on clarity and flow
• Test your understanding by explaining concepts back to you

Don’t use it to:
🚫 fabricate references
🚫 write things you don’t understand
🚫 submit generic fluff your lecturer has read 47 times this week

The students who do best don’t avoid AI completely, they learn how to use it properly.”

Most students are not losing marks because they don't know the content. They lose marks because nobody clearly explains:

• what critical analysis actually means and how to demonstrate it
• how markers assess assignments
• how to integrate evidence properly
• and what separates PASS level writing from distinctions and HDs.

This live workshop is designed to break that down clearly and practically from the perspective of a university lecturer and assignment marker.

You'll learn how assignments are ACTUALLY assessed, including the common mistakes markers repeatedly see, and the simple changes that can dramatically improve the quality of your academic writing.

We'll cover:

• What markers look for when reading assignments
• The difference between descriptive and analytical text
• How to structure stronger academic paragraphs
• How to integrate evidence instead of just dropping references in
• Understanding rubric language and hidden expectations
• Practical strategies
• Ethical and effective use of AI
• Real examples

You will get to ask questions and seek advice from someone who currently works for several Australian Universities, teaching and marking nursing students work.

This is a pilot workshop and limited spaces are available!

Your referencing can be technically correct and still make your assignment read weak.
Because markers aren’t just looking for APA formatting.
They’re looking for:
• synthesis
• critical analysis
• integration of evidence
• clinical/academic reasoning
A paragraph full of citations without analysis is still descriptive.
High-scoring students don’t just “add references.”
They use evidence to strengthen an argument.
If your assignments feel clunky, repetitive, or “surface level”… this carousel is probably for you.
