When I was in elementary school, my grandma came to read to my class. She would read us chapter books, a few chapters each time. We didn’t have our own copies to follow along with. We just sat there silently and listened. I don’t remember anyone misbehaving during this time; it was special and we all loved it. I genuinely cannot imagine this still being able to happen in an elementary school now. I teach high school so, elementary teachers, please correct me if I’m wrong. I want to be wrong about this. I just imagine they could NOT all sit still or stay silent for more than a few minutes, if at all. My high school students can barely make it through a 5 minute video without seeming like they are about to explode with restlessness. I don’t show many videos but if I do, I literally aim for like 1-3 minute long ones. I can’t imagine elementary kids sitting through several minutes of listening, especially with no extra visual stimulation. This wasn’t even THAT long ago (I’m 24) but it seem
I got off my 8-week orientation, and today was my first day. Throughout my orientation, I have felt stressed. Some good days and some realllllly stressful, busy days. My unit ratio is 1:6, and we take post-surgery patients (mainly bariatric surgeries), as well as discharges throughout the day. It can get incredibly hectic, and some days I just feel like all I did was pass meds and that I didn’t get to really review the chart, look at histories, or review orders aside from monitoring lab work and vitals prior to meds. On top of that, I have anxiety about making mistakes. I’m anxious when talking to doctors and terrified that I will write a verbal order down incorrectly, even after reading it back. I’ve had a lot of days where I can’t take a break. I’ve had a lot of days where I’m staying 2+ hours late to catch up on charting. Overall, I’m just very stressed. I feel like I wasn’t prepared for this in nursing school. I was determined to work bedside, and now that I’m doing it, I can see j
so for some context i took a one year course to become a PSW and i got very high grades all 80s-90s+ and ive been working as a part time PSW for about a year. i really want to become a RN as soon as possible and im wondering what is the best way to go about this? i do not have a high school diploma so i would be registering as a mature student and im looking at taking a pre health 1 year course to get me up to pace and eligible to apply directly into BSCN programs. anyway i came to ask everyone here what do you guys think i should do in my position if my man goal is to become a RN asap? should i try the RPN to RN bridge or just go for RN? submitted by /u/indubitbly [link] [comments]
I work nights, and I generally try to give any 0700 meds so that the day shift nurse doesn’t have to worry about them when they get on shift. However, it never seems to happen the other way around for me. Sometimes, the day shift nurse will even have been in the room around 1830-1850 to give pain meds or other PRNs and for some reason didn’t give the 1900 meds. Is this common elsewhere? I used to work days and I would do my best to give 1900 meds. I know days can be more hectic so I understand them not being given sometimes but for them to essentially never be given is odd to me. So I’m genuinely curious, am I being weird by giving 0700 meds on the night shift? Or is it weird that the day shift nurses on my unit are not giving 1900 meds? submitted by /u/pdggin99 [link] [comments]
Hi all, I’m a first year teacher (middle school) and I feel like I’m drowning in “to-do” items and responsibilities. I feel like I have no clue where to start and this wasn’t something they covered in college. The imposter syndrome is getting to the point where I feel like this year is going to go terribly, and I haven’t even started new hire orientation. I guess my general question (outside of any tips you can suggest about the imposter syndrome), is when am I supposed to plan the year? I have the first week of class planned for 3/6 classes but that’s it so far. I have no clue what happens during orientation & PD, so I’m trying to figure out if I should be planning out the entire year before I even get there. I don’t want to look like the lazy Gen-Z employee who didn’t do any work over the summer, but I also don’t want to waste the little free time I have now planning out the year just to realize I should’ve waited. I genuinely feel like giving up already, which I hate saying because
I'm a 4th year student that got placed into post partum for final focus. I enjoyed my post partum rotation, but now I'm just worried about getting a job afterwards. I've heard different things - that med surge is the foundation and you want to keep your skills if you want to advance, e.g. nurse practitioner, or that even with post partum rotation, that you still need 1-2 years of med surge experience to get a job in post partum. I'm worried if I do post partum as final focus, that I'll have a difficult time getting a job as an RN. I wanna keep my options open, so is it best that I switch to med surge final focus? And then later just go into med surge to keep options open? And switch to specialty nursing like post partum or mental health if I decide to in the future? (Right now, I have no interest in ER or ICU) Please help, any advice helps! submitted by /u/kaziaraanon [link] [comments]
My admin is pushing for us to continue curriculum as normal when there is a sub and not give 1 day lessons, work days, or simple activities. Great in theory but as an art teacher - it’s so challenging for me to continue my curriculum when I’m not there. Kids end up rushing through stuff, barely trying, and then I end up having to make them completely redo a project that should have taken 2 weeks because they finished it in 30 minutes with a sub. I tend to just use sub days as short 1 day skill builders and if I know or think I’ll be out multiple days, then I’ll give a low risk lesson (something I know a sub could easily teach + manage and students might enjoy enough to not rush through). Sometimes it’s a work day if we’re near the end of the project and I don’t need to worry about kids rushing through. Basically, a sub is almost never stepping into my room and continuing our current project with students. Maybe it’s different in the core classes? I just have a hard time imagining curri
I know they hardly make any money and if it’s an emergency fine!! But sitting there on TikTok while i’m actively teaching is rude and distracting for the kids.

Hi! This semester my school requires the newest editions of all the textbooks, which are newly published and hard to find used ones with good prices. I found really good prices for these textbooks but one edition prior. For example, my school requires the 10th edition but I want to get the 9th edition one since it’s way cheaper. Do you think there are lots of updates and differences between versions? And is it a good idea? Thanks!!! submitted by /u/Altruistic-Hair-1931 [link] [comments]
I am 4 months into a new inpatient med-surg job. We almost never have techs to help with a ratio of 6:1. No phlebotomy or IV help. I can't properly take care of patients and I am feeling moral distress. Patients get upset and think the staff are lazy and have no idea what pressure we are under. I just read that our CEO made a salary of $33.2 million in a year at our "non-profit" hospital system, yet they can't be bothered to properly staff our unit (this is the Southeast- no hope for unionizing.) I am livid. I keep calling out because I am depressed and having suicidal ideation. I know I just need to quit but I'm not sure how. Should I bother giving notice? I'm worried about the employment gap if I leave the job off my resume but feel like only working somewhere for 4 months looks bad too. I also don't know what to say about it in job interviews. Any advice is appreciated. submitted by /u/SalamanderOk9624 [link] [comments]
I’m a kindergarten teacher and also a mom to a 3-year-old and 1-year-old, and I genuinely feel like my nervous system is shot. 😅 I love teaching, and I love coming home to my babies, but kindergarten is SO much sensory input all day long!! 21 little voices needing you, constant questions, noise, transitions, behaviors, touching, decision-making, etc. Then I come home and immediately switch into mom mode with two very little kids who obviously also need me in the same exact ways. My husband is a firefighter and so I’m solo mom a lot. My MIL helps a ton but still. By the end of the day, I’m exhausted in a way that doesn’t even feel like regular tired. I feel more exhausted between being a homemaker, wife, mom, teaching and all of the prep. It’s my first year as a classroom teacher. I was a ISC para before this. I have been getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I don’t hate my life. I love the chaos and being busy but it’s also like my brain is constantly going and never strolled. For teach
Hello! I am an elementary teacher who has a very odd schedule this year. My contracted hours are 7:25-2:35. I have an extremely early lunch this year from 10:10-10:40. Normally I would switch to eat lunch during my planning, but this year my planning is from 9:40-10:10. We have no other break after 10:40 except for a 15 minute recess (including me walking them out to recess and picking them up) from 12:25-12:40. Planning and prepping meals tends to be a source of anxiety for me and this year it is even worse. I can’t figure how to work with this schedule and eating dinner leftovers at 10:10 doesn’t sound appealing. I would love some ideas to help me get unstuck and lessen my anxiety in this area. A bit of extra information: I am a vegetarian with ADHD (medicated) who cooks only because I have to. I live alone so I do not have extra help in this area. As mentioned above, food tends to be a source of anxiety for me due to the planning, prepping, and energy required to make meals. Thank y
Pretty much the title, but I don't know why (and I'm not being a smartass) parents believe teachers call home regarding classroom issues 'just because' or because they are 'targeting' their student. Ask pretty much any teacher and I guarantee you that calling home is their least favorite thing in the entire world because they have 1. Probably approached admin and/or the school counselor already 2. Are using valuable planning time or staying after school to make the call and 3. Know that the parent will defend their child or say their child would 'never'. It's an exhausting merry-go-round. Trust me, no one wants to call home. submitted by /u/No-Basket-1052 [link] [comments]

I’m considering a management position thats opening on my unit as its always been something I could see myself doing. I am absolutely burning out on bedside. I primarily do charge and if I could just do charge I would, but I have to do a mix. When I’m bedside I literally dread those shifts. I’m just returning from maternity leave, I have a 6 month old & 4 year old. I was talking to some coworkers and a few of them essentially said I’m nuts. They said I would have to take a lot of work home with me. Im currently a noc nurse, and love noc shift. My unit wants a noc supervisor but has never had one, literally ever, we just expanded our unit last year to be big enough to need one. They want someone to do 4 10’s. I’m planning on proposing a swing shift of 4pm-2 am Sun-Wed. The coworkers also said this sounded crazy, here I was thinking it sounded pretty good? LOL. I could come home nap, help my husband with morning routine (or just sleep) and then nap again. Get baby at noon from the sitter

When I returned to my classroom last September I found that a bookcase I had purchased years earlier was broken when the maintenance crew was waxing the floors. I informed admin and they told me to send a link of furniture of similar value and they would buy it to replace the furniture that was broken. I decided I wanted a desk instead of a bookcase and they bought it for me. I use a standing desk but I thought it could be a desk for my teaching assistant to use. The school issues all the classrooms metal desks but I never liked them and this one is much nicer. At the end of last school year Admin asked if I would switch grades and I agreed. I went to school last week to set up and saw all my furniture had been moved to the new classroom except that desk so I moved it. Turns out my old teaching assistant told them not to move it because she says it is her desk. I guess bc she sat at it and had her stuff inside. I knew she was mad at me for changing grades so when I text her earlier in
I picked up an ER shift last night. I've got an 86M with new AMS. Virtually no medical history and vitals are solid except for a mild fever and slightly elevated HR. I suspect a UTI, so I'm asking questions in this direction. The spouse is present, doing most of the talking. At one point she points casually to his groin, leans in toward me, and half whispers, "I knew something was off down there, his semen started tasting funny today." Her face is dead serious. I nod, then say, "I'll make a note of that. Can you excuse me for one minute?" I pull the curtain and step out and slide the door closed. We have a soundproof family/consult room at one end of the unit and I head toward it, loudly stating, "Anyone that can leave what you're doing for a few minutes, follow me now!" One doctor, three RNs, and two techs follow me into the room. It is several minutes before we are able to pick ourselves up off the floor. And this is why I pick up ER shifts. P.S. Flaired this as "Art" because that fa

i’m a nurse, i work in the ICU. i was giving meds to this patient, being nice and professional. this patient has history of aggression tendencies so he’s in a 5 point restraint. as i was giving his meds he started to curse at me multiple times, i didn’t pay any attention to him at first as they’re just words so they don’t really bother me, told him not do so as i was helping him. then i went up to his side on head of the bed while fixing his iv lines, he spit on me and it landed on my arm while cursing at me. my brain blacked out in anger and i smothered his spit on my arm to his face. he was on restraints and still got aggressive then continued to ask me to wipe his spit off his face while cursing at me, i crumpled up his blanket and threw it on his face and told him to do it himself then cursed at him back. i sent a referral to the doctor then telling them what happened and asked to sedate him, they did. i know i should’ve maintained a professional demeanor but fuck i can handle all
Been teaching 30+ years at the college and high school levels. Without giving any identifying info, I have a student with a 504 which states that this student is not to be called on in class, does not give presentations in front of the class, and no attention can be drawn to this senior. None. Now I understand anxiety and the issues that go with it but my class is a Dual Enrollment core class and my classroom is set up in table groups and a large part of the class is collaborative. I can’t even call this student’s name when I take attendance and mom threatens to bring in a lawyer if this student’s teachers don’t adhere to the accommodations. How do I make it thru the semester if I cannot talk to the student or interact at all with him/her? Example: I am a master teacher for two student teachers who are doing their student teaching hours in my classes. One ST uses popsicle sticks to call on students. He pulled this student’s stick and called on her (this is before we knew about the 504)
From what I seen, a lot of people still struggle to respect the nursing profession and I'm confused as to why. I even asked in another subreddit and instead of constructive feedback, they just flamed nurses even more. For people who have been nurses for a very long time, does it get better? Or is it just a small portion of society that acts hostile towards nurses. submitted by /u/Legitimate-Rhubarb99 [link] [comments]
I thought about being one when I pursued a BA which I never finished. My degree if finished would have allowed me mainly to be a teacher and little else, maybe a journalist or something office related maybe. But tbh I’m a big curser.

I work in a large comprehensive high school, 9th-12th. There is a subset of teachers, with varying levels of experience, who say they don't want to teach 9th grade. Some say it explicitly or just name the courses they prefer to teach and omit the freshman level classes. I think it affects the staff culture. We can't all pick what we want to teach. Other teachers who show the competence and skill set at teaching 9th grade become shoehorned. 9th grade teachers do everything they can to prepare students for the rigor of upper grades and don't always get the acknowledgement. Admin intentionally assign certain teachers all upper level classes because they know that teacher can't manage a 9th grade class and they have no plans to help that teacher improve their classroom management. I wish my admin addressed this a little bit, because we are a public school and we are here to teach every student. submitted by /u/fuzzeslecrdf [link] [comments]
Seriously, my classroom management is fine now at my fourth year teaching, but why is the default of a child usually just straight up being a mean asshole to people in school? For instance, they immediately disrespect any substitute as soon as I'm gone. If a teacher isn't just a firm, uncompromising asshole to begin with, they run all over then. I know they're testing boundaries, but why are they straight up disrespectful and callous towards people? Is this a new thing, or have children always done this dumb shit? When I think about it often, it genuinely makes me feel less hopeful for the future. submitted by /u/horror_cheese [link] [comments]
I'm graduating from an ADN program this December and I'm trying to figure out when I should realistically start applying for new grad RN positions given my background. I have one misdemeanor battery conviction from California from when I was 18, 13 years ago. It was an isolated incident with no injuries or jail time between myself and another adult, I completed everything required by the court, and the case was later dismissed/expunged under California law (it shows up on level 2 background checks as dismissed). I disclosed my history to my nursing program and have been able to complete my clinical rotations, including going through the required background screening process. I was turned away from one OB clinical but did sim lab. I contacted the FL BON, but understandably they won't give me a pre-determination about whether my application will be approved or whether it will require additional review.

He typically sits behind a desk on his phone the entire time, and sometimes bothers the students (which I've had to talk to him about). In last year's class, my coteacher running the class wasn't not very organized and rarely had a lesson prepared.

I am so beyond done with nursing. I hate what this job has turned me into. I’m managing 30 residents completely on my own on a floor, drowning in med passes, assessments, and total chaos, while leadership sits in their offices passing every problem onto us. We have a cognitively intact resident with an ongoing pattern of being verbally abusive to staff. It’s a well-known issue. She knows exactly what she’s doing. Different floor staff, myself included, have talked to her directly about her behaviour multiple times, and we’ve reported it to leadership over and over. Still nothing gets done. No behaviour plan, no intervention, nothing. While I’m running around the floor, this resident starts yelling at and berating one of our staff members. I was in the middle of my med pass, trying to keep 30 people alive and safe. So no, I didn't drop everything to run over and referee an argument that management should have dealt with months ago. Later on, my team lead finds out about it, walks up to
I teach second and fourth grade at a private school and I have the same students I had last year. So I know the parents really well. I already have a parent calling me and complaining about the amount of school supplies that I’m asking them to get. The parent says that having them get crayons is too babyish. I asked them for three packages of 24 count crayons. He also thinks that three glue sticks is too excessive. As well as three packages of colored pencils. Is this too excessive for a year? Did I go overboard with my school supply list amounts? Obviously there’s more items that I have on the school supply list such as pencils and erasers and scissors, etc., but these are the three things that he complained about. Is fourth grade too old to use crayons? Edit: somebody posted on here that crayons are $.50 each. So I went to walmart.com and saw that Crayola crayons are $.50 each on the website and colored pencils aren’t much more. So three packages of colored pencils and three boxes of
HS Math teacher, year 29…when I started at my current school (5 years ago), our teacher workroom/lounge upstairs in my building (where my classroom is) had 2 smaller copiers, a Riso (high-speed copier for large amounts of copies), and a networked printer. One of the small copiers died that year. It’s still in the workroom to this day, but doesn’t work. Okay, no problem. Still have the others. Last year, the remaining small copiers got networked, so it can run print/copy jobs straight from our laptops. Cool. Then this year started… Riso’s gone. Networked printer’s gone.

Hello, I am a first year middle school teacher teaching at a private school. Generally the kids are very pleasant, but I have ran into my first conflict of the year regarding my notebook requirement for class with a student and their parent. For my class, I am requiring students to get a composition colored notebook that represents the period they’re in. I am teaching 6 sections of Spanish with 70+ students overall and assigned colors to each class so it’s more of an efficient way to organize them for grading or in case things get misplaced by students. We are also having a notebook system for our class and every student having the same notebook helps move this structure more efficiently. I thought it would be all fine, but then I get an email. It is from both parent and student saying that I am stripping away their autonomy by taking away their aesthetic choices. Which goes against out school’s values. And that it would be a lot less obtrusive if I just made the rules to be that they
I’m currently on my 5th working day in a hospital, and I’m trying to figure out how to set boundaries without creating problems with my coworkers. I finished medical school, but I’m currently working in a lower position while my qualification is being recognized. My language level is around B1, and almost everything here is new to me — the layout, equipment, materials, computer system and procedures. So far, most of what I’m doing is patient care, changing diapers, emptying urine bags, etc. I’m willing to help with these things, but I feel like that has become almost all I’m being asked to do. What really bothers me is how it happens. I go from room to room asking my coworkers: “Do you need help with anything?” And very often the answer is basically yes — and I get sent to change a diaper or take care of an immobile patient in an isolated room. Meanwhile, I’m asking for help constantly because I’m new. I don’t know the layout properly, I don’t know all the equipment, I don’t know the p

This might fall of deaf ears and I feel silly complaining about being a male in this Era, but it is so hard sometimes to be a male teacher in an industry that is predominately female.
