I recently moved to a new school with more involved, mostly middle-class families. I had a meeting with a family last week, and the parents expressed frustration that my upper elementary classroom doesn't do "Fun Friday" or individual incentives. It's frustrating. First, school JUST started last week. While I have done "fun" maybe 30-minute end-of-the-week play sessions in the past (magnet tiles, Legos, etc), I have curriculum to get through. There are kids with academic needs and our school has two add-on enrichment classes throughout the week in addition to their normal specials classes. Worst of all, the parents are encouraging the son to "persuade" me to institute fun Friday. Why can't they just...trust me and defer to me? submitted by /u/civzuh22 [link] [comments]
I live in PA, not far from Trenton, NJ border. I went from inpatient to outpatient and took a pay cut. Now my fiancé has been laid off from an IT job for over a year, we are going to lose our house if I don't go back to work in a hospital. I'm spinning in circles trying to figure out the best strategy. It's been almost 4 years since I have been away from the bedside. I need to maximize pay, benefits, and best re-entry plan due to my health etc. I'm in my early 40's and have only been a Nurse for 8 years (4yrs Med-Surge/tele and 4 years Med-Derm Clinic). This makes me feel a lot of pressure to pivot and advance in my career (MSN/Public Health?), but right now I just need to become financially stable. I'm looking at jobs in Philly, Trenton and up to NYC for the biggest pay bump. Any thoughts, strategy? Would love to hear from Nurses who work in NYC and/or commute from out of state. (I can't do travel Nursing because I've been away from the bedside too long.) For context: I own a home and
So I graduated May 2024 and took time to care for my newborn after school. I recently started applying for jobs this summer. All of the hospitals near me require 1 year of experience (the application will instantly deny without it) for regular job listings and anyone with less than 1 year of experience should apply to the new grad residency listing. I spoke with a recruiter and she told me since I graduated over a year ago I do not qualify for a residency (even though their site does not say that) she recommended that I get experience first, gain experience and apply for a regular listing after a year. Only problem is that hospital dominates job listings where I live and there are not many places to apply to that also don’t require or prefer 1-5 years experience. I’ve applied to smaller clinics, hospitals, LTC, outpatient psych ect. with no luck. Any ideas how to find a job or should I go back to school for a new career? submitted by /u/NoLetterhead2757 [link] [comments]
Hi everyone, i'm a new nurse (about a year into nursing) and i'm on a med-surg floor. I've had a few situations where i've had to transfer a pt to ICU or call rapid response, but each time, I feel so incompetent. I know nurses gain knowledge and skills through experiences, but it's hard to give myself grace sometimes. Sometimes when a patient is starting to decompensate and I have the MD or RRT nearby, I feel stuck or frozen. Like I suddenly don't know what to say or what to do. I know I need to let the experienced individuals take over at times and just support and learn from the side, but I really don't like feeling so useless. Although I may lack the knowledge or skills during a critical situation, how can I expand my knowledge to make myself more useful during these situations? I know I need to get myself familiar with different protocols at my hospital such as strokes, codes, etc... but it's hard to know that what i'm doing is right if i've never been in the situation before. It's
This is my first post on here but I feel so sad and deflated after interactions with parents at an information evening. The way I was spoken to tonight by some parents felt as though they came in looking for a fight. Where has the sense of entitlement come from? Don’t these parents know that we are people as well and how little power teachers have! I’m so deflated and I just can’t be bothered anymore. I feel I need to find a new school to work at ☹️ submitted by /u/NickyStu54 [link] [comments]
I am a very non confrontational person, and honestly didn’t realize nursing would involve so much fighting with grown adults for their own benefit. I’ve been a tech for over a year, and although I have learned to adapt to some extent, I’m realizing that it is just part of my personality and I don’t think it’s ever gonna get much easier for me. I originally wanted to do ED, but I’m not sure that would align well. I met a NICU nurse that said that was the reason for choosing her specialty, because she didn’t have a strong personality to deal with adults and I relate to that a lot. Besides NICU, is there any other specialties that wouldn’t involve so much conflict? submitted by /u/datdaveoverder [link] [comments]
I'm a math teacher and I am almost 100% paper and pencil today. I know math is one of the easier subjects in which to make this shift. I can't imagine having to read and grade 100-150 paper essays for an English class. But how doable would it be for you in your subject and would you want to? Personally, I am a huge proponent of paper and pencil - technology should normally only exist in classes about technology. submitted by /u/AdhesiveSeaMonkey [link] [comments]
I've been taking deli meat/cured salami for lunch for years. I eat it with snack cheese and veggies/fruits of choice (mini peppers, apples, etc). It's fast, easy, and zero-prep. Recently I learned that deli meat is carcinogenic. I always knew that deli meat isn't the healthiest thing in the world but now I've officially checked out on it. That said, I need other zero-prep, healthy ideas. I like having the veggies/fruit but I need a protein of some sort that does not need to be heated up because I do not have time to do that at lunch. submitted by /u/Sea-Efficiency-2899 [link] [comments]
I needed to be out for three days so I left my 6,7, 8 math students a Make Your Own Dream House Floorplan area and perimeter project to work on while I was gone. I generated it all from scratch because I’m old school and persnickety. I never like anyone else’s projects or lesson plans as well as my own. The basic project was that each room had a given area. Day 1 they drew the floor plan on graph paper, Day 2, they got a worksheet where listed their side lengths for each room and proved how their room was the correct area and then calculated the perimeter of each room. Day 3 was making the final draft of their drawing and checking their work. On the worksheet, I wrote the first question for the bathroom and then I cut and paste it for each of the other rooms. On the seventh grade version, I neglected to change the word ‘bathroom’ in the text of some of the other rooms’ questions, changing only the first line for those rooms. (The area of the kitchen is 100 sq. feet. Write the side leng
Just like the title says: my largest class has 34 kids. I am a first year teacher at a middle school. We are very underfunded and understaffed, so I am also the ONLY teacher teaching 6th grade for my content area. I’m thankful because my students aren’t rude or disrespectful, but they are very loud and chaotic. I’ve tried using call backs and it only works for about 5 seconds. It’s difficult to get a moment of silence in the 55 minutes of class time. What can I do? **In case I get any questions about why I have such a large class: my 6th graders are coming in very strong in mathematics (what I teach), so my advanced classes have a lot of students compared to my regular classes. submitted by /u/Naive-Collection813 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I've looked through the history and I'm not seeing many answers to this question exactly. By and large, I've found that the majority of people don't like Meta Glasses. Aside from obvious student privacy concerns, teaching with a potential camera on you all the time makes me uneasy. In speaking with a Meta rep last week at a department store they also admitted they make them uncomfortable. I'm very capable of requesting a student to put away their cell phone, but that's because it's clear to see that the cell phone is in use. Is there a reliable way to determine whether or not Meta Glasses are in the vicinity, and then if they're powered on? So far, I'm aware that: Rims tend to be thicker and darker to better blend with the lens There's (supposed to be) a light that's on when it's recording, but I'm certain that there are workarounds for this There are some apps ( Nearby Glasses and AntiZuck ) - does anyone have experience with these apps and their reliability? submitted by

Wow, I saw a social media post this morning that hit hard. I was griping about work at work, work at home, just too much to accomplish and not emough time. This post said "Stop complaining about things you used to Pray for." Yep, that shut me down in a heart beat.

Tired of being told "remember your why." Tired of PD presenters telling their hard-luck story as if I give a shit. Tired of superintendents crying at back to school ceremonies like I am supposed to be moved. Tired of being told to make it fun while not deviating from the curriculum. Tired of being told good teaching and learning can be spontaneous but reprimanded for "birdwalking." Am I the only one but could it be we teachers can never, and will never, win at this game? It strikes me the only professionals for whom this job works are those far away from the kids and parents. And they survive by taking the parents' sides. submitted by /u/Opposite_Bid_8208 [link] [comments]
I'm curious to know because my SO looked me up and down one day right before we were going out and said "Aren't you going to change? If a parent saw you, you can get fired for the way you dress." While I agree and understand where he's coming from, here's some context: - I 99% of the time wear a baggy t-shirt and shorts; I don't wear tube tops, spaghetti straps, booty shorts, or anything of the sort that would even be deemed as inappropriate - Not sure if my SO is against what I wear because I'm not wearing color schemes that he likes (that day I wore a blue shirt with purple shorts, crew socks, and tennis shoes) - I dress business casual/professional at school so I'm definitely not showing up looking like a bum or ungroomed for my job and he knows this - He's a corporate worker so he harps on about always dressing to a tea in case he sees his clients outside of work and have to chat with them I told him that on weekends, I am not Ms. Jane Doe.

UPDATE to my previous post about our completely chaotic dismissal process (where I finally reached my limit and started walking my kids straight to the office at the end of contract hours). For context I am a first year, 2nd grade teacher in NC. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more unhinged, my principal called a last-minute meeting that swallowed up the absolute last scrap of planning time we had left for the week (we already had planned meetings during every planning this week). She sat us down and told us she’s been doing walk-throughs during our phonics block, and she was furious with what she saw. Some of us were on different lessons (1 lesson ahead), and the teachers who were on the same lesson were using slightly different instructional strategies. So, she dropped a new, mandatory rule on us. Moving forward, every classroom in our grade level has to be on the exact same lesson on the exact same day, no matter what. If our students aren't comprehending the material, t
Our school gives us two days before kids start (which is tomorrow) the first day is all day in-service/recognition. Typically this is someone giving speeches about teaching skills etc. This year we had a magician give a 3 hour show for like 300 staff. It did not relate to teaching in anyways On one hand. Most entertaining use of this time. But also completely useless and would be much better if we had classroom time. They didn't even pretend to make it matter. submitted by /u/AleroRatking [link] [comments]
I work at a hospital in Texas, I’m a patient care tech and this job isn’t my first in this role. Typically when you are floated to sit, you sit for the whole shift (12hr). This hospital is special, I was told we could only sit for 6 hr and then be moved to the floor (if you were floated to medsurg to sit, then you would be on the medsurg floor for the remaining 6hrs). This rule was added because some dumb tech was on her phone and a patient tried to K themselves. Now the 6hr sit rule wasn’t too much, everyone agreed that it was probably for the best anyways. The one thing that sucks balls is now every year we have to do this FOUR HOUR meeting (unpaid btw) where they do SI education. This mandatory meeting is for ALL staff, not just cnas/pcts. I work nights, these meetings are only on weekdays. I picked nights because I have a child and don’t have much room for someone to watch her if I’m not there, my husband works weekdays so I come home, he goes to work. People are tweaking over this
Not a nurse, just a new mom. I've always thought that being a labor/delivery/recovery nurse must be the most warm+fuzzy job. Just bringing sweet babies into the world and caring for them. But I never thought about how hard it must be to have to send babies home to bad situations. Like you know the child is not going to get the love and care they deserve but you have to let them go. I cannot imagine how hard and stressful that is. So sending a little love to all the nurses that carry this burden. Note: This is just my postpartum/early morning breastfeeding brain at work. I love my little girl tremendously, have lots of support, and am doing my best to care for her. This is not a cry for help/concern about a particular child. Just a random thought. submitted by /u/ciamaria0102 [link] [comments]
So yesterday we had a nursing assistant come in to work from 3a-7a and I was told he seemed super extra and more energetic and chaos than usual. He proceeded to tell everyone that he picked up the shift around 8pm then went to the bar until 12 but only had 2 drinks. Refused to safety sit because he would fall asleep. Admitted he probably shouldn’t have come to work but it was easy money to come in and just take vitals. We work on a neurosurgery unit in a hospital. It’s never easy work. I came in at 7a. He talked to me before he left, and shared his evening story with me. I told him it was not ok to drink alcohol at all and then come to work and he agreed but again said he didn’t think it was an issue because he didn’t smell and felt fine. I promptly notified management. Snitching or holding your peers accountable? I think what he did was highly irresponsible but everyone else was too afraid to speak up. submitted by /u/shelsifer [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, so I'm a first year teacher and I usually ask for a lot of classroom management advice in this group, I share my struggles, but today I want to share something really positive. I'm counting this as my first win as a teacher. So I teach grades 6 to 8, I'm an ELA teacher, and my grade 6 students completely adore me, but I didn't take it seriously because well they're kids, they're impressed by anything; and my grade 7 have been really disruptive, they barely ever listen. Grade 8's are okay. So I never took the praise seriously or thought of myself as some amazing/precious teacher. But today something stuck with me. So we had our PTA today and some mom walked up to me and thanked me. I was surprised, I asked why, and then she said that her kid has always been weak with language and his previous ELA teachers have criticised him for it, they have complained about how he lags behind his peers, so he had eventually started getting scared of English as a whole. She said, and I qu

I am extremely atheist, but i dont go around broadcasting that bc of the area i live in and the culture of my school. To be clear, i work at a PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL, just in a very religious area (bible belt). Anyway, i was tidying up my bookshelf when i noticed EIGHT bibles placed there by my co-teacher!

I’ve thought of ways to bring this up to her. The Truth: i just think it’s disgusting and weird.

The older kids at their regular school are getting 6 lots of homework then they come to MY class end get 2 more, that's ALL to be finished before they even get to sleep that night... I've asked my boss maybe to cut down their homework in my classes to either one every 2 classes or even just do term tests or something but the PARENTS have been complaining that we aren't given them ENOUGH homework.

Pet peeve: movies and tv shows that show teachers “teaching” by asking random questions at the class. That’s not how we teach. Project Hail Mary does this in the first 10 or fifteen minutes. The teacher, Grace asks: “What is the actual name of the North Star?” “What are the three basic kinds of rocks?” “What wave do you feel first during an earthquake?” “What’s the speed of light?” “What’s the nearest star to Earth?” Yes, we teachers might review important curriculum that students have been taught, but the material is from one subject, not 5 separate subjects.

Hi everyone! I’m an American RN looking into moving to and working in British Columbia, and I’m hoping to get some honest advice from nurses who have worked in Canadian hospitals. I have about 2.5 years of RN experience, primarily in a med-surg unit with both adult and pediatric patients. One of my biggest concerns about making the move is finding a good work environment. I currently have a really great team, so I’m nervous about leaving a supportive environment and ending up somewhere with a toxic culture, poor management, or an unhealthy work environment. I don’t know many people in the Canadian healthcare system, so I’m a little lost when it comes to which hospitals or health authorities in BC have a good reputation among nurses. I’d really appreciate hearing about places where nurses feel supported, staffing is reasonable, and the overall unit culture is positive—as well as places you would personally be cautious about. I’m also trying to be realistic about the cost of living. I’d
Hey everyone, I know my title of my post is alarming, and apologies if this has triggered anyone. I just wanted to see if any other new teachers has had this experience: I was a permanent sub at a charter school and the school liked me so much they interviewed me and hired me as a teacher the following year (this year). Unlicensed teachers can teach at my school, but they must hold a rapport with the school, etc. I was hired on, but they told me I was going to teach 1st grade English Language (and knowledge) for the english speaking students (my school is bilingual).

I had the worst shift I've had in many years today. I had a pt named Carol with respiratory failure and extremely bad anxiety. I'm talking batshit crazy. I went into it thinking the reporting nurse was blowing it all out of proportion and confident I could smooth thing over. But no, she ended up being a special kind of crazy. I started the day with 3 pts so I knew I would be taking a 4th via transfer soon. I was actually looking forward to it (which obviously never happens).

As we all know, the Big Beautiful Bill has cut funding tremendously and as a result, many hospitals have instilled hiring freeze and overall made getting hired much, much more difficult. Obviously it’s still possible to get hired in your desired unit as a new grad in places like the Midwest, but I really don’t want to be in the Midwest. This question is more aimed at desirable places like SF, LA, NYC, New Jersey, etc. I’ve lived in SF my whole life, and would ideally like to stay here, but I know how unrealistic that is even before the bill.

Bush’s presidency before 9/11 was focused heavily on domestic policy, especially education. After 9/11, national security consumed the administration—but paradoxically, the political atmosphere of unity helped Bush get his major domestic education legislation through Congress. There’s also an interesting irony: 9/11 helped create the bipartisan environment that passed NCLB, but the War on Terror eventually diverted enormous attention and resources away from domestic education policy. Everything that we complain about on here: obliteration of standards and accountability, scripted, souless curricula, endless testing, can be tied back to that stupid law. It wasn’t Covid or social media that killed education, it was NCLB. Ask anyone who taught, or attended, public school in the 80’s or 90’s. If only we had a real oppositional party, who wasn’t consumed by the “War on Terror,” who could have pushed back on this crap. submitted by /u/One-Context7569 [link] [comments]

Large language models (LLMs) are entering clinical training as digital standardized patients (DSPs), simulated patient encounters the model scripts and portrays. Demographic associations learned from corpus co-occurrences can enter at two points: the written case scripts and the live portrayals improvised in role-plays. We audited both pathways using an HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) screening scenario across six demographic factors (age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, education, and race or ethnicity) in a 216-cell factorial design. With a generated arm and a template-substituted control arm, we simulated 4,320 conversations with fixed audit questions, measuring three channels: the case scripts, the composite role-play trainees receive, and role-play under identical control cases. Differences concentrated where corpus associations were strongest and reinforced predictable stereotypes. Anal sex appeared in 100% of gay mens cases, 83% of bisexual mens and 3% of heteros
Hi! Thanks for reading. In my district, we have a full week of PD before kids come. This year, I took a personal day on the very first day, the 17th, because I got married on August 15th. I let my admin know about a month in advance and got their approval - but our union contract also states that the only reason a principal can deny a personal day, is if coverage can’t be found, and on a PD day, there’s no need for subs. The first day was 75% “teacher directed” and 25% principal directed - basically, I missed about 2 hours of meetings total, and 6 hours of classroom setup time. I know, what kind of teacher books their wedding in mid August.. the answer is that I wanted my grandparents at my wedding, and that was the last summer 2026 date. It was a gorgeous wedding, and I don’t regret taking that single day to travel home and begin to unpack before starting a brand new school year. Fast forward to now, my husband is having surgery at the end of September. I let my principal know a month

I started in a medical ICU with no PCTS or techs. Our ratio is 1:2. I am frequently unable to turn my patients every 2 hours or perform oral hygiene that frequently. I am running around and barely have time to pee. The more experienced nurses are also unable to give all meds on time and do Q2 hour turns and other similar tasks (oral hygiene Q2 hour) due to patient acuity and time needs. You are also needing to find a second person every time you need to turn a patient. I feel uncomfortable lying on the chart saying I did something or assessed something (lung sounds) every 2 hours or the like when I know I didn’t.

My admin doesn’t feel like I was 100 percent ready on day one, even though some of their expectations weren’t known and are not universal to all teachers/schools. The thing is, I’m coming out of a huge life transition. I challenged myself to do this. I left an emotionally abusive marriage to start over thousands of miles away. I have a child with special needs and I’m completely on my own now. I don’t tell people this looking for pity. In truth, I’m proud of how much I’ve done so far. Unfortunately, I underestimated the toll that this would take on me, especially at the start of a new school year with a new school. I simply haven’t been able to devote my full attention to work yet, but I’m close. I had every intention of finalizing my classroom setup and organizing new supplies
I’m a UM nurse, and I work remotely doing reviews for behavioral health, but my company has been having layoffs and just issues in general lately. Plus, I feel like AI is going to take our jobs sooner rather than later, unfortunately. I’ve been an RN since 2014, but I started out in psych and stayed there until I moved to UM. Needless to say, my nursing skills are RUSTY I’m sure. I’ve only started a few IVs in my life and that was like 10 years ago 🥴 What are some good specialties for nurses like me? It’s not that I don’t want to do nursing skills/patient care, but I feel like I’ll need decent training and patience while I get back into the swing of things. I’m not too fond of the idea of going back to psych. Thank you! I appreciate any and all advice you can give me! submitted by /u/MrsRodz [link] [comments]
