Middle school is so funny. They tattle on each other, get mad over small things, make you laugh at things you probably shouldn’t, make even the quietest person like me raise their voice, and then have such insightful discussions. I went in nervous and stumbling over my words but by the last period I was knocking the stapler on the desk and separating students.

Why do we pay adminstrators $200k just to actively make it harder for us to teach effectively?

I teach special ed preschool in a title 1 public school. Our program is big enough that we have our own building and our own administrator. We have over 100 preschoolers (all special ed) and 11 classrooms. We used to have no kids on Fridays. This is because we have hundreds of IEP meetings every year and nearly one hundred new students referred every year. My district rarely has enough subs, so having Fridays ensured we wouldn't be pulled out all the time and leaving a para alone with the kids. Every time a new child is referred to us, there is an initial IEP meeting, a home or daycare observation, an hour long play-based evaluation, sometimes a standardized asssesment which is usually done at their daycare, a team meeting to decide classroom placement, and a second IEP meeting to confirm their placement. Special ed teachers do all of this. Some parts used to be done by the school psychologist but guess what she retired and there's no replacement :) We also have to write a new IEP from

Management approved day off but then backtracked

I’m a nurse at an assisted living facility. Been here 1.5 years. My coworker asked me to work for her next week. I asked her if we could swap days and she could work a day for me next week too. She told me that management won’t let her, but didn’t specify why. I figured it was bc she picks up a lot of OT, but we’re just swapping days that are the same week/pay period so it shouldn’t matter. I reached out to management yesterday (with her permission) asking them if we could swap days. They said yes and to fill out a sheet (I have it in writing (text message)). I thought all was dandy. I went ahead and booked a little getaway for my boyfriend and I. Well now management reached out to me today saying that they actually can’t approve it bc that would mean she would be working 8 days in a row.

I’m still in caregiving in a way, just from the ownership side, and I’m excited. I own 3 adult living homes now. I started this with no business knowledge at all, just years of bedside experience and a refusal to quit. I didn’t know financing, licensing, staffing, any of it. I found the right people who navigate licensed operation, leaned on them hard and kept going even when I wanted to give up and stay where it was safe. Tomorrow I’m not clocking in anywhere. I’m just processing all still. Mine. Or Whatever word fits when you finally get to stand fully inside the thing you built. 8 years got me here.

feeling like a failure in my career

Background: new grad nightshift L&D 2025, left LD for outpatient dayshift, dislike outpatient and getting bullied in role by management. Wanting to go back to bedside. Desperately wanting to go back to bedside. I know, wild. I miss the relationships with patients and using my nursing knowledge. I was struggling so bad with the anxiety of LD high stakes nature combined with nightshift so I left to go dayshift 5 8’s which is horrific. 5 days is not for me. Have applied to only LD/PP jobs but keep getting nightshift offers. I left LD because of nightshift and the anxiety with it. Now, as desperate as I am to get out of my current role (bullying & hating 5 days a week) I’m considering going back to nights even though I hate nights. Is this silly? I feel like a failure in my 1.5 career as a nurse. I can’t seem to land dayshift in my speciality of choice.

Jealous of friends with remote jobs

I’ve realized there is exactly one thing I’m genuinely jealous of: people with well-paying remote jobs. I have friends who work from home that make double what I make as a teacher, and they straight-up tell me they could never go back to driving to work every morning and physically being somewhere all day. They can throw in a load of laundry, let the dogs out, make lunch in their own kitchen, take little breaks throughout the day, and still get their work done. And here I am with two master’s degrees, more than two decades in education, getting up and driving to work every morning to spend the entire day “on.” When you’re there, you’re THERE. I’m really not a jealous person. I don’t look at someone’s house, car, vacations, or salary and wish I had their life. But remote workers making twice my salary from home? Yeah…you got me. I’m jealous. And I think it’s hitting me harder now because I’m at that weird point in my career where retirement is close enough that I can see it…but still fa

Hi. I work in an ER. One shift I came back to the ER from delivering a patient to the unit and noticed a new patient already slotted in the room. I grabbed an ice pack after seeing what she was there for and as I approached the room she was flippppppping out screaming that no one is helping her. I tried to calm her down but she kept going off, really yelling at me. I didn’t say anything mean back to her but know I probably sounded annoyed when answering at this point because she wouldn’t stop.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Crap Curriculum

Our math program sucks because the kids do not become proficient in basic operations. They waste so much time "investigating" that they never get the basics down. Or really much of anything mathematical. Our ELA program sucks because it is bloated and unfocused. If you did everything in the manual, you'd need twice the instructional time they say you do. Plus, at the end, no one knows what, if anything, was learned. But I'm cool with both of them. On my planning period, I have about 5 minutes of work running the worksheets and getting the slide show ready. When I have a sub, I just write "see manual" for both subjects, which, at my grade level, comprise the vast majority of the day. I had to get over worrying what a sub would do with such an absolute blivit. But I did. I decided that if that's tough for the sub, that's a decision the district made for them, not me. If my students aren't learning as much as they could, same thing. There's a pattern in the profession of admin and distric

The highest seniority on my night shifts last week = 6 mo.

The charge nurse for my unit on night shift is a new grad who’s been on the unit 9 months. Nobody stays due to low staffing: 6:1, no PCT/CNA, supply problems, and ridiculous and redundant charting expectations. I spend HOURS being a CNA, answering call lights for my patients AND other nurse’s patients, particularly bed alarms. VS every 4 hours on all patients. New admit? Good luck to my other 5 patients, they’re on their own for at least 2 hours, maybe more depending on the admit. No time for breaks or lunches most nights. Lucky to squeeze-in a run to the bathroom. On my days off, I just want to stay in bed. I love my bed. It’s peaceful there. Is it like this everywhere inpatient? Excluding the well-known and regarded 4:1 in California. I’m in the rural Midwest, with very few healthcare options, but also the regional hub for all the tiny rural access hospitals that send us their patients. submitted by /u/Conscious_Wind_5132 [link] [comments]

First Day Of School. I Suspended 3 Seniors

So, today was the first day of school. And to celebrate this day, 3 high school seniors (and members of the football team) decided to duct tape 2 freshmen to the flag post. They also wrote the word “Freshman” on their foreheads. So I suspended them for 3 days, referred them to the SRO, and kicked them off the football team. I have a zero tolerance policy with bullying. Unfortunately, 3 days is the max I can give on a first offense. Maybe the SRO can do some more with them if the parents of the victims want to press charges. Yes, when I spoke to the parents of the victims I mentioned that they can press charges. Interestingly, two of the seniors weren’t upset that they bullied and ruined the first day of school for two freshmen. They were upset that they were kicked off the football team. The father of one treated to sue the district because now his son will never get a football scholarship. I asked and the kid is second string.

New meta-analysis finds bed alarms don’t decrease falls

As a floor nurse, I was surprised by this newly published review and meta-analysis in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. I’ve found so many confused, elderly patients wiggling out of bed who were 100% unable to walk safely without a heavy assist of 1-2. Without the bed alarm AND the ability to respond quickly, I’m certain they’d have fallen.

I’m a developer working on Classboard ( https://classboard.online ), a browser-based whiteboard tool I’m building specifically with teachers in mind.

Are this year's 7th graders more... normal?

I know that "normal" is a loaded term, so let me explain. One of the trends I've noticed in the last five years or so is more students who don't seem to understand the basic idea of school. So, my context is 7th grade, which means that I fully expect my students to get sidetracked, forget themselves and talk over me, and so on. It seems to me that the last five years have seen an increase in the number of students who take it one step further and respond with hostility and resentment when they are corrected, no matter how straightforward and gentle the correction is, which is a much bigger problem. I can deal with kids who understand what is required of them in school but struggle with impulse control all day - it's a lot harder to deal with kids who don't get it, who are surprised and angry when asked to do basic things like listen to instructions without talking. This year, so far, is totally different. I still get kids who slip up, but the response is much more appropriate: acknowle

Admins Who Sellout End Up Paying A Heavier Price

All admins please consider what Im about to say… If you dog your teachers in order to please a parent and let a rotten student have their way, you will pay more for it in the long term! You’re letting one or two bad apples spoil the entire barrel. You know why? Because teachers will eventually get so fed up and quit. And the other 20+ students who actually love their teachers and are attached, will suffer the trauma. They will leave your school and the enrollment rate you so desperately yearn for, will drop all because you wanted to keep one spoiled one… When a teacher is telling you that a student needs to be disciplined, YOU need to address that rotten apple precisely or your whole barrel will go to waste. submitted by /u/Slight-Watercress151 [link] [comments]

Edit: Super interesting to read everyone's perspective—there's clearly no consensus on how it should be handled.

Was asked to “reconsider” calling out sick

For context, I work on a PCU with 16 beds. Ratio is normally 1:3 (if patients meet certain criteria) or 1:4 (if typical progressive care assignment). We normally have one or two 1:3 assignments and the rest are 1:4. Recently, our hospital decided that med surg nurses can no longer float to our unit due to higher acuity and lack of training for those nurses. They did this while only having a very small number of progressive trained float nurses. And can’t pull from ICU’s due to lack of staffing in those areas as well. I had a bad night, I’m pregnant, was super nauseous half the night and couldn’t sleep. I decided to use a sick day.

How difficult is nursing?

Hi, I wanted to ask how difficult majoring in nursing really is. I’m considering going back to school for nursing because I’ve been struggling to find a job in my current field. The biggest concern is the cost. I already have a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, so I believe the financial aid options would be limited to loans, meaning I’d be taking on a significant amount of debt. I want to make sure I’m making a smart decision before committing to it. For anyone who has gone through an accelerated nursing program, how difficult would you say it actually is? The school that I am thinking about requires at least an 80% to pass certain classes, so I’d really like to get an idea of how challenging the coursework is and how manageable it is for someone coming from a different field. submitted by /u/MediocrePass4780 [link] [comments]

Need advice: Nurse being ordered to accompany an emergency air transfer without training

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask for your opinions about a situation my brother is currently facing. My brother is a nurse working in a public hospital. They have a patient who needs to be airlifted to a better-equipped hospital because it's a medical emergency. The hospital is in a very isolated area, so the fastest way to transfer the patient is by a small airplane. Here's the problem: • None of the nurses assigned to the transfer (including my brother) have been trained for this specific job. • The aircraft is very small and doesn't have the proper equipment you'd normally expect for critical care during transport. • If the patient's condition suddenly worsens mid-flight and CPR is needed, they'd have to remove their seatbelts and perform CPR while the plane is in the air, which seems unsafe for both the patient and the medical staff.

Does anyone use paper anymore?

Random question, but do you guys still have your students do a lot of stuff on paper? I feel like every school is pushing laptops/tablets more and more. We use them for almost everything now, but sometimes I feel like the kids actually pay attention better when they have to write something down. submitted by /u/Beneficial_Arrival57 [link] [comments]

Free undergraduate education from a popular university!

Actually, I'm someone who wants to learn. I already have a university degree. I just want to learn things online in my free time. I've always wondered about the quality of education a good university provides. Therefore, I'm curious if I can access all the courses a student takes in architecture, engineering, computer science, literature, or another field at a good university for free. I've looked at platforms like Edx, Udemy, and Coursera, but they either offer parts of the course or don't offer free access. I want to watch all the courses of any undergraduate program at a good university, in a classroom setting, for free, without providing a diploma. Is there such a thing? I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive online. submitted by /u/GuitarHeroes55 [link] [comments]

Does anyone else feel like they don’t morally align with the American healthcare system?

Can we talk about poop please

I’m a nursing student and I work as a nurse extern, so I’m basically a tech. I thought blood would be the thing that grosses me out, but unfortunately it’s definitely poop. I’ve worked with one nurse who masks up every time and brings out the biohazard bags.. which personally I would also prefer since I can breathe through my mouth in a mask without it being obvious. But no one else on the unit seems to go to those lengths. Any and all advice or tips on how you desensitized yourself or learned to deal with it are appreciated. It’s gotten slightly easier already but not by much Thank you all for the comments!! It makes me feel better to hear it usually gets better with time, and I will try out these other tips too submitted by /u/LengthinessLate6065 [link] [comments]

Nursing Anxiety

Hey friends, Looking for ways you guys deal with the pre-shift anxiety, and all the heavy feelings that come along with the job. Work has been exceptionally hard lately, lots of death, critically ill, codes. I am laying here, in tears about having to work in the morning. I live very rural, there’s only one hospital, with one unit that does it all. ED, Medsurg, Labour/Delivery. We get notifications for callouts and I just got one looking for floaters for tomorrow- so you know it’s going to be a day. Any tips or advice? A new job is not possible. submitted by /u/Punky0597 [link] [comments]

One of the few moments where we felt appreciated in our ICU. A good ending to a two month stay. They rolled out playing music while sarcastically flipping the bird!

Found this in my camera roll from 2024. Today, a colleague and I were reflecting on the idea that it’s usually the bad patients whose names you remember and rarely the good. We said we needed a picture board of all the 1 month+ patients on the unit to remember the stories. submitted by /u/TheLastMtnDew [link] [comments]

Professional boundaries Q

I recently took care of a sweet little boy on our peds hospice service who passed a few days after I saw him. I was a float nurse so I only saw them once, and I have since quit working for that hospice agency. The family lives less than a mile down the street from me and I pass their house daily. I wanted to drop off flowers and a card for the family. The mom and I bonded over all of our kids being the same ages and genders. Our oldest kids will be in school together next year, so I will see them again regardless. Is this crossing the line? Further, do you think the family will appreciate a gesture? I don't want to trigger them, as I still have my little one who is the same age as theirs who passed away. Thanks, nursing community. submitted by /u/Dear_Excitement_5109 [link] [comments]

Starting to hate my job

Homehealth peds with a client who has 3 siblings and they all have nurses. Somehow I feel like I’ve ended up the entertainer/babysitter to all these children. I’m also feeling judgement from the other nurses because my client sleeps in late (even when I attempt to wake him) hates taking his pills, can be a bit difficult. He has good days and bad days. His Friday nurse feels the need to go in our securechat and gloat to our clinical manager about every little thing. “I made sure he drank today!!!” “He was up early for me today!” Our chat is meant to relay changes/med updates/appointments. He has great days for me but I don’t feel a need to comment constantly in the chat about it for brownie points. Mean while,Friday nurses Monday client (his sister) is hanging on me all day because Friday nurse sits on her phone the whole time. Just a bit done with all the BS. A certain nurse went over my head to tell our office my client didn’t look well and appeared drugged up, when it was because he
