I was watching this TikTok video with 4 million views and it seems like this woman is claiming to be a principal when she is actually a social media influencer. The story is fake. Surprisingly teachers and administrators are believing her story and that she is a principal in every single comment. Also other TikTokers who are teachers have also made posts reiterating the story as the truth. Cmon, donāt believe everything you see. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cYgqmW/ submitted by /u/Informal-Building267 [link] [comments]
Just a vent. Iām a teacher currently teaching my students how to produce strong writing and deepen their reading comprehension skills. They ask me frequently what the purpose of having these skills is, when all of the technology that could create their writing for them exists. When all of the information they need to know is provided in an audible format . Iām able to teach some media and digital literacy, but my hands are tied because I also risk being affiliated with either political party (putting my job at risk) and upsetting parents or others in my very ______ district . I tell my students that these skills are applicable in so many ways to modern life. I give the entire hoopla about communicating, having to write persuasive efficient emails, standing out from the robotic masses that use AI to do their writing, etc. But modern life is progressing much quicker than educational reform and Iām feeling really weirdly about it lately. As the adult in the room, I know that great readers
I was recently hired to a level 1 trauma high-volume ED (with almost 100+ beds in just the ED alone) a few months ago and honestly itās been rough. Prior to this, I worked at a critical access ED for a few years so I was looking forward to work at an urban area. Coworkers and management have been great ā no concerns in that regard. However I feel like the workload for the very high pt acuity has been insane and to an extent, I feel unsafe? My ratio is thankfully generally 1:3 but occasionally 1:4 and sometimes 1:7 in fast track (tbh even these pts in fast track are still very acutely ill, eg. sometimes they cardiovert and potassium-shift). No ED techs in the hospital (this is baseline staffing), hardly any extra float staff due to chronic short-staffing, sometimes no patient watch on my involuntary admit pts. Very very SICK pts. All the other nurses generally have the same workload so even asking them for help is sometimes difficult because even they are drowning too. So Iām often left
I don't know whats wrong with me. Its always with wound charts as well. I got called into the managers office for the second time, as i keep confusing my lefts and rights. I'm always rushing each shift and can't ask for help. I'm genuinely worried i'm going to get kick out because i can't differentiate between the two. I don't know whats wrong with me. Another thing i've realised is that everytime i do something wrong, its projected, however, i've seen people upload a completely incorrect image and even the wrong location for wound review and nothing seems to happen to them. Idfk i'm thinking of persuing a different career. It doesn't matter how much time you put in, to help, you get scruntinised and torn apart. I can acknowledge my wrongs, but i can't acknowledge putting other people on a higher pedestal. Fml. submitted by /u/notinmyham [link] [comments]
Iām a RN on a 22 bed unit at a level 1 trauma center. My rant is that I and many other coworkers admit SO INFREQUENTLY! Thereās at least 3-6 cases M-F, most on day shift, 1-2 at shift change/nights & even a couple on Saturdays. Iāll maybe get an admit once every month or two, and have to ask for it when I pick up. And honestly most of the time really inexperienced/newer nurses get admits, or the same people over and over again. I understand maybe they are trying to get new people experience, but does it have to be weekly?? Thereās the cycle of admit first day, send to step down second day, admit again & repeat. Should these admissions be spread out more evenly?? I say this as we also can have many chronic patients, and spending weeks with the same type of patient (trach, peg, bed bound, not stable enough for floor but not acutely ill) is NOT helping my experience. Every acute admission Iāve done well with & receive positive feedback. Is it that Iām competent & they see that? submitted

Iām genuinely curious if other teachers in California are experiencing the same thing or if my admin is just lacking. This is my 10th year teaching in a California public high school. We have kids who lie, cheat, use drugs on campus and even in classrooms, get into fights, cuss out teachers, openly disrespect staff, and repeatedly refuse to follow expectations, and yet there are still very few meaningful consequences. Whatās especially frustrating is that it didnāt used to be this way at my school. When I first started teaching, kids would actually receive consequences for serious behavior, and more often than not, the behavior would stop. They even received consequences for smaller behaviors, that now wouldnāt even warrant a response from admin at all. There was a level of accountability that seems to have disappeared. Now we can document, write referrals, call home, have meetings, etc., but so much of it feels like paperwork without any real follow-through. And the kids know it. It g
So Iāll get straight to the point. We had a student who was expelled last year for extreme violence against teachers and students. Well today I found out he is now homeless and because of the Mckinley-Vento act we are required by law to enroll him. He has stabbed multiple people. Today they informed me they are so understaffed that I will not be getting a para in the class to help with this student. Students are coming up to me telling me they are scared of this student. Fourth grade. I 100% believe this student deserves to be in school, deserves to learn among peers, deserve safety and stability. He needs a lot of help and he wonāt be getting it this year, and my students are going to suffer because of it. submitted by /u/Dry_Kaleidoscope5012 [link] [comments]
I have three weeks left in a 14-week orientation. I did an 8-month externship in a very high-acuity neuro ICU and CVICU during my last semester in school and three months post-graduation. I saw a lot of stuff. Balloon pumps, CRRT, impellas, neuro patients with EVDs, etc. After that, I precepted in a Tele unit and felt like I was doing great, gaining confidence, my unit was supportive and the culture was amazing. They were all friends, played sports together, were invited to each others' weddings, etc. Patients here were very sick and got to see some drip titrations, wounds, chest tubes, drains, trachs, etc. This new unit is so different. It is a very low-acuity ICU, I barely got to see ONE balloon pump a few weeks ago. I've seen two CRRTs during my orientation. We often get Tele patients. Most patients in my unit eat, drink, shit, and walk. Yet, the expectations at this hospital are very high. I am getting shit for not managing my time better. I am getting shit for not being "louder" a
I propose that we might consider the following policy change to deal with staffing shortages: Teachers are permitted to inform a student, on the very last day of school, that they are in fact an asshole.

Last Tuesday was our first day of instruction. The eighth graders came to pick-up their schedules and were offered a calm fidget toy. By Wednesday, I noticed that in my last three classes, about 75% had squishy and other fidget toys. On Thursday, one of my classes became especially distracted by the toys, students were playing with them, pounding them on the tables and so on. At that point, I decided I had reached my limit. On Friday, I stopped instruction and asked students to put the calming toys away, explaining that they would not longer be allowed during class. For the past two days, not one students has played with them. Has anyone else noticed an effect, whether positive or negative from these calming toys in the classroom? submitted by /u/Intelligent-Rain-22 [link] [comments]

I am eight years into this job. I teach upper elementary. I have cried after school, every day since the first day. I do not like my kids. I barely like my school. This is my hardest year yet. The refusal to work, apathy, arguing, constant - and I mean constant - talking, even across the room or during tests. I have re-taught transitions, routines and expectations. I repeatedly make us try again and again till we do it right. I give consequences, I message home. Itās every. day. Everyone constantly complains or is hungry for snack time or wanting nap time??? Most my class is below grade level in math and reading. I have loved every single class I have ever taught, I have also loved teaching. But three weeks in and Iām having panic attacks at the thought of going back the next day.

Excerpts, autocorrect :,) Can we talk about this? I remember being in fifth grade and pestering my teacher at the time about how we are only reading short passages rather than the whole book. Kids today are feeling this disconnect likely just as much as I did, if not more. Thirteen years later, as a teacher myself, my stance on this has only gotten stronger. The "passage-and-question" format of modern reading curriculums has turned literacy into a clinical process made to mirror the format of standardized tests. By replacing whole novels with snippets and text excerpts that only cushions the ever-shortening attention spans of kids (oh my god, donāt even get me started on brain breaks, by the way), we have systematically stripped away narrative context and cognitive endurance. You cannot build deep background knowledge or a genuine love for books 5-10 sentences at a time. The current literacy crisis is largely about a system failing to give them anything worth reading. Iām sick of this,

Anybody else get this direction for the first few days of school from the custodial staff? It happens every year, we come back from summer and we have to set up our rooms and move desks and this sends the custodians into overdrive, reminding us to lift up desks, not to drag them, to not scuff the floors, and you know what, but the 4th day of school everything is scuffed and messy anyway. But itās just comical because we go through this ever single year. ETA: this is being taken way heavier than I expected. It was marked comical because we laugh about it at school. āweā being the custodians too. I do my part to not make the custodians jobs any harder than they are. My dad was one. Itās not elitist.

I'm happy someone at the faculty meeting said it. All of us were thinking it. Our attendance numbers for August aren't great. We have a specific list of chronically late, chronically absent students with no documentation. Here's the thing. Those with documentation as to why they are chronically absent have been nothing but cooperative with us. One of my students is having health issues and has been communicating with the school. The principal had the audacity to tell us that the students are just following our bad example. For instance, we're taking sick days in August, despite the policy being that no teacher may be on campus if a fever is 101 degrees or higher. We're told that the kids look up to us and will emulate us. I find that hard to believe considering this is high school. Then the principal tells us that we need to incentivize students to be on campus with rewards. One of the nuns pretty much tells the principal the title. She goes on about saying that if a parent wants to bu
Y'all. I just need to vent for a minute. Background: my hospital has an annual survey we all have to complete. This year, the "would you recommend this hospital to family and friends" question got terribly low scores. Basically all the staff said absolutely not. Now, this is after months of layoffs including educators, managers, most of the transport staff, and secretaries. One whole department got dissolved and they were all walked out with security. So in typical nursing fashion - who is picking up the slack? Who's answering phones and doing paperwork without secretaries? Who's leaving their units to transport patients around the hospital? Nursing. We're doing it all on top of our already painfully short staffing and bad ratios. The hospital's solution? HRO training - "teaching teams in high-risk fields like healthcare and aviation how to minimize errors and achieve zero harm through standardized safety behaviors." A hospital wide paid 2 hour training that teaches us how to prevent m

Hey everyone, How are you? Teacher of 20 years here - all in middle school Science. I still like my job, but am getting a bit tired. I am wondering for those teachers who have taught over a decade, what can you say has "changed". (I use 10 years as it encompasses pre and post covid). Part of me says that middle schoolers have always been middle schoolers. Wacky, forgetful, funny, random, etc. However, I would say that: Behavior management has become almost 60% of my job. And not because students are necessarily poorly behaved or mean, but because of the lack of self management/lack of situational awareness. Constant touching, making noises, getting up, etc. The touching, especially between middle school boys. And it's not playfighting, it's like...this constant touching of heads, grabbing books, pushing against one another. Lack of realizing routines and remembering them. Every day we start the same way in class. Every day they ask what to do. Parents. Definitely taking a student's sid
This is my first year teaching all honors students, and the difference in behaviors is noticeable. In the past, most of my students were several grade levels below. While my classroom management improved each year, even at my best, I'd feel like I needed to constantly monitor the class or else chaos would erupt. I'd avoid assigning group projects except on rare occasions because many kids would end up wandering around, arguing, or just avoiding the work. Today, I assigned a group project, and except for a handful of kids, everyone was on task and contributing. I even had one group decide to split into two groups to avoid any arguments, and I was like, "They problem-solved without me needing to step in." Obviously, kids will be kids, and there are still times when I need to step in or redirect students, but it's so much less than what I was doing before. I've been wondering why each day feels so much quicker, and I think it's because I rarely have to deal with the behaviors I was dealin
Soooooooo I have had three separate instances with the MAs at the clinic, and it's not for "small snd silly" reasons, like clinically these MAs need more training. The first time I don't exactly remember what she did, but it was somrthing with vitals and her not having any clinical understanding of what those vitals mean. So I immediately told my PCP who said she would take care of it when she came in. That same MA in a separate visit was asking me what I do, I said I was doing some travel nursing. The MA said, "Oh, I did travel nursing as well!" I kept my mouth shut, and have been sitting on telling the clinic until the newest problem. I had to get a skin TB test and she first of all freaked out about my tattoos and she didn't know where to place it. I disclosed to her I am a RN and she can place it on a spot on my arm. She decided to ask the clinic RN (I'm not judging this part, like I actually want someone to verify placement if she isn't sure!) Who came in, checked my arm, touched
So Iām not sure how the culture got started that every piece of communication needs to go through the bedside nurse, but it needs to stop. The other day I get a patient up from the ED. The first thing she does is hand me her insurance card and tells me the registration lady couldnāt figure out how to upload it into the computer so she told the patient to give it to the nurse when she got upstairs and have us handle it. Like, are you fucking kidding me? My job is to care for people from a medical standpoint, not spend my very limited time troubleshooting computer issues that are in no way affiliated with my role. Just because I CAN figure things out, does not mean Iām Mr. Fix It every time an issue arises in the hospital. And this type of offloading of work exists has wormed its way into every discipline in healthcare. Doctors messaging me things to message other doctors instead of just doing it themselves. Kitchen staff calling because a diabetic patient wants an extra piece of cake. P

I am so sick of having to read and mark essays that have clearly been written using AI. I'm at the point where I have to take a break between every essay because I get so livid. Kids are turning in essays that 1) don't sound like them AT ALL and 2) look pretty but say very little. The AI use is even more obvious because the essay topic used a resource that will have very little research material out there, so all of these essays are coming up with the same (wrong, so very wrong) points. And then when it comes time to practice analysis in class or write a poetry test these kids can't answer anything because they've become used to simply being given the answers, and what's more frustrating is that I know they can do it, they've just learned to lose faith in themselves! My department is getting to the point where we aren't going to allow the use of devices for assessments because of this, yet this still likely isn't going to be enough to curb AI use. submitted by /u/tabrises [link] [comme

I had to work on an admission last night until 7pm!! Thatās 4hrs of work. Admissions are NOT short. On top of that I have IDG notes to complete on 11 patients, 6 of which are recerts. Those are ALSO not short narratives. Not to mention Iām on call tonight. Then itās constant admissions with no help. My manager told me āitās all about time managementā EXCUSE ME?! How about we stop admitting all of these people with 2 nurses on board. Thatās almost 35 patients divided between 2 and more to come. Then manager says āour sales team is doing a great jobā. By burning everyone else out. We have no help!! I hate it here so much. There is
