I am no longer a teacher, after teaching special ed for 20 years. I am now in a "teaching adjacent" field. We are absolutely FORBIDDEN to buy anything for our clients, even a cup of coffee. We can't even buy them something that they need for their home like dishwashing soap. Which has me thinking....how in society did it become appropriate for teachers to buy stuff for their classroom and their students? When I was a teacher I spent so much money on supplies for the classroom as a whole, and I even bought individual students things they needed like deodorant, headphones, wipes, maxi pads, etc. Of course, I always reached out to the parent first, but with some of them it was crickets...... Maybe you are one of those people who have never spent a dime in your classroom, but that is NOT the norm. I just really wonder why teachers are expected to do this. I worked at schools that provided NOTHING to us, and even copies were limited. My last school had an active PTO and it was supportive. B
Some schools across the country are now turning to a hi-tech device to combat active shooters. At least nine schools across the U.S. are being equipped with drones designed to distract a school shooter until police arrive. The drones work by flashing strobe lights, sounding sirens, and spraying pepper gel at the threat. The aircraft is called Campus Guardian Angel, and it can ram into a threat at 50 miles per hour. So instead of addressing the issue at its core, we are throwing money to drone companies. That makes sense. Its not like the shooter will ignore the drone or shoot it down with their gun. Also, who is going to calmly operate the drones while someone is going from classroom to classroom slaughtering children? https://abc7ny.com/post/campus-guardian-angel-drones-american-schools-install-pepper-spraying-mithril-defense-stop-active-school-shooters/19595678/ submitted by /u/Disgruntled_Veteran [link] [comments]

So one of our surgeon’s standard order set includes intradermal lidocaine for IV placement. The instructions are to use a tb syringe and inject 0.2 ml in 5 locations around the area and then wait 5 min. I get EMLA but we don’t even typically use that for regular IVs here. (We have no peds) And only for ports if they have their own at home since we don’t even have it on formulary. Is this less painful than just one quick poke? We have access to an ultrasound so I rarely fish around for questionable, more superficial veins. There’s some amount of wiggling with that… but still. I’m not sure getting poked 5 times with the smaller needle is better. So is this a new thing and I’m getting old? Or is it just really old fashioned? Because this particular surgeon is probably of retirement age here soon. submitted by /u/potato-keeper [link] [comments]
I took my CCRN this morning and passed! 🎉🥳🍾 To anyone thinking about taking it, just do it! I’m a very anxious person, so I went into the exam expecting the worst. I had put it off for two years, but I went ahead and scheduled it and committed to studying 30 days ago. To prepare, I watched all of the Nurse Life Academy YouTube videos, read the entire Barron’s CCRN book, and completed the AACN practice test bank. I consistently answered 50–150 practice questions per day, depending on whether it was a workday. I even went on vacation during my third week of studying, but I continued doing practice questions and reading Barron’s while I was away. For background, I’ve been a MICU/mixed ICU nurse for four years. When I started studying, I didn’t know PA catheter values, much less their indications. I gained so much knowledge throughout this process, and passing has given me a huge confidence boost. My personal goal was to answer at least 100 questions correctly. One unexpected thing was tha

Hi all. I'm a teacher in a non-American country where the use of the n-word has started to gain popularity. This is especially noticeable amongst my black students and as a white teacher I'm unsure how to address it with them, or if I even should. I feel that it's not appropriate for school settings, but I'm also aware that I am missing distinct nuance with it as I am neither black nor American. As such, I would like to know how black American teachers address the use of the n-word by their students so that I can handle instances where it is used sensitively and appropriately. EDIT: thank you to everyone for weighing in. Part of my uncertainty in how to deal with it was not knowing that it is in fact considered a curse word as opposed to simply being slang. Knowing this gives me much clearer insight into how to handle the use of the word within my class. submitted by /u/tabrises [link] [comments]
I graduated last fall and started at a new school an hour away from my house. Today was the first day of school and I was up late working on my presentation for the morning. My phone died and my alarms didn't go off. I woke up an hour after school had started and was 2 hours late to school. I'm panicking and I can't believe I made such as stupid mistake.

I teach social studies to high school kids. I have multiple cultural, state and country flags hanging on my walls including multiple versions and sizes of the Rainbow flag. Yesterday was the first day of school and I boogied out of the classroom pretty quickly. This morning I walked into class and there was a note on my desk that said, “Me, when your rainbow flag lets me know I’m safe.” The note included a hand drawn picture of a relaxing cat.

Do not send your child to Miles Ahead Charter school. If you want your child to both grow academically and perform and receive a quality education. Miles Ahead is NOT for your child. Here are 3 brief reasons why: Academic PerformanceMiles Ahead is performing close to an “at-risk” school based on CCRPI scores. The CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance Index) is used by the Georgia Department of Education to measure how well schools prepare students in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. • 2024 CCRPI Score: 53.7😱• 2025 CCRPI Score: 65.2😨 For comparison, the average CCRPI score for both Georgia and Cobb County schools during those years was around 78😊. Parents should ask themselves why they would choose a school performing significantly below the state and county averages. High Staff TurnoverTeachers, SPED leaders, and administrators frequently leave during the school year, and parents are often not informed. Consistent staff turnover can be a sign of an unhealthy school culture
Curious what your hospital’s policy is if a patient leaves with an IV in - whether they leave AMA or staff forget to remove it.

I recently started working the front desk at fetal treatment center, where patients are seen due to abnormalities with their fetus. It's not a happy place, there's very few days where there's good news. Many patients are so anxious and heartbroken. With a place so full of sorrow, I'm sure I'm going to hear the same things over and over, and I'd like some advice on how best to respond to these things. I learned to say "take care" instead of "have a good day" when patients depart. I've become mindful to not ask about baby names, or project into the future too far ahead. Keeping it professional, of course. But if a patient walks in for a follow-up, and I remember their name, sometimes they sigh and say "it's not very good to be known in a place like this." Or, "it's like being a regular at the police station". I'm left a little awkward when trying to respond. What would be a comforting/assuaging way to respond to this? I appreciate your input! submitted by /u/ConstantRide5382 [link] [comm
I was taught to write in 3rd person; I.E., “this nurse assessed patient ” or “writer assessed patient” and it just always feels so awkward and unnecessary. I’ve been noticing that a few coworkers notes are mainly written in 1st person lately. Is this acceptable (finally)? The nurses writing in 1st person are new nurses, is this what they are teaching now? I hope so! I think the ANA needs to re-evaluate this way of teaching. This writing method was taught before computerized charting became a thing. It’s silly to write “this nurse” instead of “I” now that we have EMR. Of course you or “this nurse” did or said or witnessed whatever you are writing about, afterall, it’s your name as the note maker on the EMR. It’s tome consuming to keep writing “this nurse” instead of “I” and it’s just funky. submitted by /u/Weekly-Mix-9480 [link] [comments]
Seeking a little advice here - my school’s spirit shirt this year was designed using AI. I am expected to wear it for a back to school event this evening but the thought of putting it on makes my skin crawl. As an arts educator especially, I do not want to be seen as giving tacit endorsement of generative AI. Students should be taught to be creative with their own brains and frankly I believe AI has no place in school. That being said, is it worth the stink I might cause by wearing a previous year’s spirit shirt? I don’t want to cause trouble, I am typically the type to go along to get along but I really am having a hard time stomaching this one. Any advice is much appreciated. submitted by /u/duplexswaq [link] [comments]
Today I was telling my mom some nursing stories, specifically my time as a new grad during the 2nd wave/peak of covid… memories I haven’t thought of in a while popped up. Specifically one man… he was on high flow o2 maxed out, wasn’t doing too hot, could barely make a move without desatting. What he said will forever stick with me. “Am I going to die from this?” I reassured him that he would not, and has been doing better and he will be ok… 2 days later he was intubated/ on vent and died. Telling this story today I just started freaking sobbing and I couldn’t stop.. and then so many memories came rushing in that I haven’t thought of since they happened…I felt overwhelmed with flashbacks of emergency chest tubes being put in at the bedside, code blues, people FaceTiming their family for the last time. So many. Freaking. People. Died. Our unit was a half tele half icu and you knew once they got transferred to ICU side due to intubation it was pretty much over. Out of all of our covid pat

I’ll be honest, I’m probably a bit behind on all these AI tools, but I’ve been hearing other teachers talk about using them for slides and I feel like I should probably start looking into it.

Maybe an unusual question, but just curious. My child is in elementary and I was googling the teacher he was just assigned for this year. I noticed that the public school salary listings were online. One thing that struck me as odd was that this teacher, despite being at the school for several years at minimum (maybe longer…) is paid almost $50K less than the other teachers for the same grade and the other teachers my child has had in the past, some of whom were new to the school/district at the time. I’m not sure if that really means anything in terms of teaching quality/assigned raises or what other factors could contribute to what looks like a huge inequity from an outside perspective. For example, would teaching one month of summer school really make that much of a difference (taking like 100K to 150K - seems doubtful…)? Is that normal? Do they pay less if someone is a “spousal hire” and their partner is also working for the same district at a higher salary similar to other teacher

I’m a first year teacher and have decided to resign early in the school year. After two weeks of school, I already feel completely drained. I’ve been putting all my energy into classroom management, planning, trying new strategies, contacting parents, and seeking advice, but I keep coming back to the same feeling: this isn’t sustainable for me. A big part of this is my family. My job is taking so much of my mental and emotional energy that I don’t have much left for them. On top of that, I’m also part of the shared responsibility of caring for our elders in the family, and when work is this demanding it becomes harder to show up for that in the way I want to. Even at home, I’m thinking about school, worrying about students, and feeling exhausted before the next day even starts. I’ve tried hard to make this work, but I’m starting to realize that effort alone doesn’t mean this is the right path for me( at least for now) I’m also concerned about what this could mean for my professional re
Hello. I’m a new grad! Started my job on the first week of July. Two weeks ago, I made a med error, but I notified provider, filled out a report, told my preceptor, and met with my manager to talk about it. Since then, I’ve been so thorough on my medication administration. Today, I had a busy and rough shift. I come back home to see I have an email for a SUBUTEX that is unreconciled and if not addressed or witnessed, I have to write another report. I call my preceptor for everything for us to double check, but I’m also switching from using a Pyxis to an Omnicell — and trying to adjust. I have no support system. I do have my mom, but after telling her about the stress I was in, she ignored me and told me to go to sleep. Am I gonna lose my license, get a pay deduction, or get in trouble? I literally work tomorrow and cannot stop worrying. I’m just tired of being a failure, and I already have low-self esteem. I want to be a good nurse so bad, and it seems like the more I try, I fail. subm

A year ago my principal decided to “shake things up” by moving a bunch of teachers around because that is what she learned at a professional development workshop. She removed me from a class I loved and put me in a class I never wanted. The year was a failure, to the point that almost half the staff left at the end of the year. From teachers to support staff, it was a nightmare. I was one of the many that left after being denied a duty change. I spent over 20 years there holding many hats, but I finally needed to leave after seeing how we failed our students and families this year and knowing it was not going to get better. Fast forward to this year. I moved to a new district and feel frustrated. My co-workers have their own groups and I’m the new person not really fitting in anywhere but I don’t know if that’s them or me. Have I been in a toxic environment so long that I’ve forgotten what a good environment looks like? Did I do the right thing in leaving? I feel so alone even though I

What is your experience with mean nurses? Currently sitting in my car crying because I am being bullied by another nurse. She is consistently nit picky with me in report, complains about everything. She finds fault in everything I do. Same nurse taped a medication to the educators door because there was some in the vial left over. She claimed it wasn't here, but it was my patient and she had them that night. I am not a new nurse, I have over a decade experience. And this girl started as a new grad.

Stand by Me has been my favorite movie since I was 12, but I haven't watched it since before Covid. I sat down tonight to give it a rewatch and wow, I can't believe how much it resonates with me now as a teacher. It's surreal seeing experiences and family dynamics that many of my students have being portrayed in such a realistic light. I started bawling when Chris told Gordie that he's just a kid and how he wished he was Gordie's dad so he could steer him in the right direction. (This scene) Stand by Me is such an old movie that I'm sure most people have seen it by now, but if you haven't seen it while working as a teacher, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. There's so many layers to it that I never appreciated until I entered this career. Definitely solidified itself as being my favorite movie of all time! submitted by /u/peppermintcrowz [link] [comments]
Hi, i have been a nurse for a little over a year and a half. I started as a new grad on a very busy oncology/med surg floor. We have 5 patients, and here lately I feel like work has been so heavy. The patients are so so sick sometimes, requiring multiple blood, platelet transfusions, chemo, etc. In the last year I have had so many patients that have been on our floor for a very long period of time and we end up losing them, it’s very difficult to the deal with. I have several coworkers that I love, it makes work so much easier. But here lately, I feel like I’m miserable. Having 5 patients on a floor where the patients are so sick has become so difficult. I have insane post shift anxiety. I always wonder if I forgot to chart something or if I forgot to do something because it’s truly so busy. Most days I don’t take a lunch or even have time to drink water. I am thinking about looking for new jobs in December when my 2 year contract is up. But it’s been really hard at work and I feel lik
Some context: high school teacher, California Rant incoming. Sorry. Before the start of last year, I got an email from a counselor indicating I would have a student in the fall with a potential 504 Plan and inquiring whether I would anticipate any problems. The only issue, the 504 Plan was essentially the student had difficulties concentrating for long stretches and needed frequent breaks and reminders to get back on track. Sounded easy enough. But I should have been more skeptical that the details were not fully flushed out and I trusted the counselor to articulate all of the relevant details upfront. My mistake. Anyway, the school year for last year started and suddenly, this student was arriving to class frequently late, missing days, literally doing anything but staying on task, and couldn’t be bothered to be redirected. Within weeks, to no one’s surprise, this student was failing. Mom then proceeds to email a laundry list of concerns to me, most of which are the expectation that I
I’m a public school teacher/coach for 16 years. I’ll preface this by saying I know public schools have their problems and I’m not even entirely against homeschooling in a lot of circumstances.

I’m a new nurse working with someone who’s been a nurse for many more years than I have. This is going to sound mean, but they make me question their competency. Examples: They watch me draw up heparin and asked why I didn’t wipe the hard plastic cap with an alcohol wipe. I told them I was taught in nursing school to alcohol wipe the rubber part the syringe punctures, the cap is just disposed of. They told me they forgot if a particular medication was supposed to receive a saline flush or not after administration. This is an extremely common medication given on a weekly basis, that they have been administering and documenting for years, themselves. There have been a few other things that have transpired as well but I don’t really want to go further into details.

Objective: To establish a standardized training program for endoscopic pathogen visualization literacy (EPVL) based on fluorescence rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) technology for gastroenterologists, and to evaluate its training efficacy. Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted. A total of 54 gastroenterology trainees were non-randomly allocated into the EPVL training group (Group A, n=28, 16-hour comprehensive training) and the control group (Group B, n=26, 3.5-hour traditional teaching). Pre- and post-training assessments included theoretical examinations, fluorescence ROSE image interpretation tests (30 parallel images per set), interpretation speed measurement, and clinical decision-making integration evaluation. The primary outcome was the change in image interpretation accuracy, analyzed by ANCOVA with pre-test scores as the covariate. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups (P greater than 0.05 for all demographic variables and pre-
