I am a nurse going on 6 years. Last year I got caught in some political shit when my hospital was sold and I was not offered a position. It shocked me to my core. Beyond the sucky management I loved my coworkers, my commute was tolerable and the pay was good. After 7 months and 125 applications I finally landed another job. So much for nursing is recession proof - not so in the Bay Area. Anyway, I now work 93 miles from home. I work a set skeleton schedule. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Friday. I work Friday and Monday of my weekend off so we can’t really leave town (12 hour shift and 1 hour 45 min drive home) I have up until just recently been driving in and home everyday to see my husband and our dogs. Working every Monday is awful. And dont get me started on a 2 day weekend as a nurse who works 12 hour shifts. I’m now under investigation for time and attendance (3ish mins late too many times) and having to make the choice to stay closer to work on days I work so I can b
Parents, students, the teachers in person. I’m trying not to panic, but what if I mess up in some way? I’m so annoyingly introverted I really don’t want that to come out, I want to fake it til I make it, but that’s easier said than done. And I know someone will say, why did you become a teacher when you’re a shy introvert. I met the qualifications on paper and they hired me, that’s mainly why. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited and everything, but I’m scared sh*tless! submitted by /u/Fearless_Respect_320 [link] [comments]
How are you supposed to safely manage all of this at the same time? I had a patient with a Hgb of 6.2 who needed labs drawn from the port because lab wouldn’t draw them, followed by a blood transfusion who also had to poop (assist of 1 with walker). At the same time, I got two new admissions (already in room waiting for me) and had a patient with schizophrenia with a stroke who was a major fall risk, sitting on the edge of the bed despite being unable to safely walk cause of weakness. On top of that, everyone had medications due. Five total-care patients, no CNA/PCT, no charge nurse, and basically no help. How is one nurse realistically supposed to manage all of that safely? Is this considered fair or even a safe assignment? I am so done. submitted by /u/PeaceBig8152 [link] [comments]
At my school, we have no holding areas for students in the morning. Once the bell rings, students are supposed to go straight to class. The problem is, especially for 7th and 8th grade, is these kids will make endless laps around the school walking in the morning. What’s the problem, you may ask? Admin. is always up our asses about getting these kids to class and to stop kids making laps. Well there’s no consequence for students making laps. We tell kids go to class, they ignore us and keep walking. Has your school solved this problem? Would you even care? submitted by /u/Emergency-Pepper3537 [link] [comments]

Some of my past managers have been amazing. I miss them every day. But at some of my past jobs I have had managers that genuinely traumatize me enough for me to get TMS and stronger SSRIs. One of them faked a PIP (HR representative for our unit was on medical leave) on mg third week of orientation and I had to go to a meeting with the Chief Nursing Officer to testify against him. He would pull me and my preceptors off the unit for an hour a day and find reasons to write me up. So HR intervened and stopped him from meeting with me alone, and made another nurse the main manager to interact with coworkers Another one didn’t say anything for months then decided to try and fire me and give me everything I did wrong in one note. Half of it was stuff told to her by a single coworker who doesn’t think I fit into the clique. I was able to prove it wrong but it shook me massively Is this normal? Most of my coworkers are decent enough and patient care is fine. submitted by /u/Sensitive_Duck_3909
I saw some parody video on YouTube about Open House and meet the teacher. The parents were given ridiculous paperwork they had to fill out for their child and were upset about it. All the teacher did was smile and nod as she continued to make them crash out. It was funny and it's true but the comments on the video were the icing on the cake. It was parents complaining about how they had to go through the same thing at their child's school and how the teachers are spamming them. There were also homeschool fanatics saying 'thank God we homeschool. We could never.' First off, we teachers don't like the apps for grades, the apps for communication, etc. we don't like that we have to have four apps to get in contact with the parents. This is extra work for us, some of us have enough on our plate as it is. Second off, the reason why we have those apps is because we have to C.Y.A I now have to log the dates, minutes and topics when I contact parents on an app (the whole school had to do it, no

I am someone who likes organization. I like when things are clean and clear. Obviously, many aspects of life are out of our control, so we must be adaptable to the circumstances we are given. I understand this, so I adapt and try to make the best of the situation I am in. Now, to the reason for this post: Is teaching supposed to be this disorganized? The school I work at is a mess. I cannot overstate enough just how disorganized everything is. I am begrudgingly beginning my second year, and the signs of disorder are already apparent. I was not given access to class materials until two days before students arrived for one of my classes (let's call this Course A). For my other class (Course B), which I found out I was teaching by happenstance, I was not officially told I would be teaching until two days before the students arrived as well. For this second class, I still do not have access to any of the course materials. Nothing at all. I had a similar experience for the entirety of last
My daughter’s going to a new school where the district uses iready. Looks like 30 minutes a day. She’s on level and I really want to opt her out. I’m a teacher and my friends that teach elementary have told me how much it sucks. I’m also wary of the lawsuit and data use. But I also don’t want to be that parent because I know it’s often out of the teachers hands. If you teach in Ccsd in Vegas let me know if it’s possible. submitted by /u/binxbox [link] [comments]
Nothing says “we appreciate teachers” quite like forcing hundreds of them into a cramped auditorium to listen to administrators talk about how excited THEY are for the new school year. Convocation always seems to involve administrators introducing other administrators, celebrating district initiatives, and giving speeches about how important teachers are while teachers sit quietly in the audience mapping their exit plan and trying to put together to do lists. If the goal were actually to appreciate teachers, giving them those 2-3 hours to work in their classrooms would probably mean a lot more. At some point, you have to wonder whether convocation is really a celebration for teachers or just an annual pep rally for central office. Maybe the best way to “honor educators” is to give them back their time or make it more of a local school celebration. submitted by /u/flatteringhippo [link] [comments]
So I work as a part time daycare floater. While I could be full time I prefer the flexible hours so I can be with my daughter (20 months) more. There are several children in pre school class that are in diapers or pull ups. As a floater it normal falls to me to change them and while I really don’t mind it’s crazy that these kids are capable of having full blown conversations while I’m changing them like a baby. Here’s the crazier part. They start kindergarten in 2 weeks. We are sending 5 kids to kindergarten in pull ups which at this point they are just treating like a diaper. I don’t even know what to do. These kids are more than capable of using the potty. None of them are neurodivergent. But according to the lead teacher it’s basically learned helplessness. They know mom is going to change them. So they just don’t care. And when you talk to their parents it’s always the same thing “oh we’ve tried everything”. Which is obviously a lie. Specially when I’m in a mommy group with some of

hi so i just want to go on a bit of a rant and i’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions on the matter for context, im a new grad working night shift on somewhat of a stepdown/medsurg combination unit in the hospital. my first annoyance is that there are a handful of nurses on day shift that are hell bent on doing shift report at the literal bedside. which i totally understand the importance of including the patient in the conversation and allowing them to hear what is being passed on between shifts, i see the benefits of doing report in the patients room, HOWEVER, my shift ends at 0600, and most of the patients are asleep at that time, so i don’t love when specific nurses demand going into the room, turning on a light, and having a whole ass conversation about the patient in front of them at the ripe hour of 6am. it feels inconsiderate? my second gripe is that i have had MULTIPLE instances giving day shift nurses report at the bedside where they notice something that may be ou
Just to clarify they are not mandated but heavily emphasized and pushed on us at my school. We use this AI program which supposedly links to all this data and student performance records to "craft lesson plans that meet our needs." I personally think they are terrible (and maybe an abuse of student data); on one of the slop lessons it was like 30-40 pages long. On another, it spent like 5 pages to simply say circulate throughout the room and check in with learners to make sure they are on task. I mean my lesson plans are like two pages long max. Who in their right mind is reading 30-40 pages to describe a lesson. Several teachers, myself included, don't use them and refuse to but they are really pushy about AI Slop Lessons and talk about how much time they save and how we could use this time to focus on other areas. I've been firm in my stance about AI with admin that I think it is a cool tool but we need a teacher's touch still when crafting lessons in my classes. Has anyone else had

Following my last post about UNC Hospitals announcing a new staffing system where critical staffing shifts could be awarded based on the lowest bid , nurses spoke up and the reaction on social media was strong. UNC Hospitals leadership has now released a statement acknowledging the concerns and apologizing for the original communication. In the statement, leadership clarified that although the platform has a bidding feature, the bidding function will NOT be used at UNC Hospitals. They stated that nurses should not be competing against one another for shifts and that this does not reflect the collaborative culture they want to support. They also said the platform will instead be used to identify staffing needs earlier, provide more transparency around premium shift opportunities, reduce administrative burden, and help ensure adequate staffing for safe patient care. submitted by /u/Strikelight72 [link] [comments]

the above pay scale is Massachusetts general hospital (mgh) i don’t work there but did obtain the scale above I work at: Mount Auburn hospital It falls under the beth Israel lahey umbrellla and I’m writing about it in order to compare it to the best paid hospital in the city I’m perhaps more towards the bottom.. Mount Auburn is in Cambridge MA and they are like this: they do not give the chart with each yr of experience and the pay associated with it. It’s a small community non-union hospital as expected. The pay is not top-tier. I have about 10 years of experience and get just over 60 an hour. I would consider this non-competitive, especially given the benefits are not good. Either an MGH nurse with like three years less experience will make that amount and have way better also only get a yearly 2% raise health insurance is so so tuition reimbursement is 35 per year for holidays.

I can’t believe I’m coming on here to bring this up, but I need more perspective. I’ve been a RN for 2 years in the ED. In those two years the longest stretch I’ve had off was a week and a half which was while I was switching jobs coming closer to home. I work 4-5 12 hours shift 2-3 days and 2 nights. I have unfortunately hit my breaking point- I love my patients I love caring but today I broke down at work and realized I’m not even taking care of myself. I have my wedding and 3 weeks and I was unable to even get vacation for it I had to switch my shifts to work longer stretches instead. I have 4 days off including the day I sleep after nights to rest, get my life together, plan the wedding, do chores, try and see my family and care for my grandparents and friends. Over the past few months the stress of getting everything done and still taking care of myself has been getting much more difficult if not impossible. I’ve lost my identify, I’ve lost my smile, I’ve lost my appetite, I’ve lo
Does anyone else feel this way at the beginning of the school year? I’m feeling it a lot this time. My last couple classes (third grade teacher here) have been great and I’ve been very lucky I think. But this year’s group is just downright mean. I have a girl who’s extremely rude, telling me my makeup sucks or that i smell (???). I’ve of course brought it up to parents and admin and the attitude has died down, but of course the teacher student relationship is basically crap. And it’s the same with the rest of the class except for one or two who happen to be younger siblings of past students. They get their work done and aren’t overly disruptive, but they’re just MEAN and it’s difficult to enjoy being at work. Only month one and I’m waiting on the next rotation of kids in 2027. submitted by /u/dysfunctional_salad [link] [comments]
If a school has had 10 History Teachers in 12 years and each one is a nasty ending maybe it’s not the teachers. And if every teacher who leaves then loves their next school, what does that say? I had the year from hell last year and I was always like, why is this school sabotaging me? I left but that meant my friend had to step into my old role and one week of dealing with admins bs has her looking for other schools or leaving teaching altogether. I’m happy I’m out of there. But how is one leadership team allowed to run havoc on a community for so long and fail for so many years? For context, for three straight years they’ve recruited high performing teachers who’ve placed in the top 20% and each time they’ve fallen to the bottom of the city once in that school. Those same teachers then leave and go back to succeeding at other campuses. It drives me up the wall that they get to keep doing this, have terrible school conditions, sabotage employees, fail the students, and everyone pays a
I graduated last year, but I had knee surgery shortly after, so I ended up having about a 9 month break after graduating. My senior practicum was also in a low acuity unit, and I just got a job on an acute medicine unit. I’m only 3 days into orientation, and it feels SO different from any of my clinical experiences. Honestly, I feel absolutely stupid sometimes. I think the 9 month break has made it even harder because I feel like I’ve forgotten so much. I’m scared all the time. Every time there’s a skill I’ve never done before, I instantly panic. I’m so afraid of doing something wrong. I know I’m capable of doing the skills, and I usually can do them, but I constantly feel like I’m missing something or doing something incorrectly. I stop and triple check everything I’m doing because I’m so scared of making a mistake. I just don’t know when everything is going to start coming together and feeling more natural. Right now, I’m honestly dreading every shift, and I’m especially anxious abou
This is year 10 for me, and I don't want to do this anymore. Its not even the fact that we don't get paid well, or the kids.

Our leadership is awful, our community does not care about education, yet because our school has a putrid reputation I remain stuck here for one more year. Interviewing for admin roles was fruitless yet again for the third straight year, and it seems I have a better chance of winning the lottery than seeing a social studies opening in my part of the country. Don't get me wrong, I will still do what I can for my students in the classroom, I care about my kids. I just don't care about administrator initiatives, bogus PD, and the moronic insistance that having purpose statements will somehow create engagement. This is the first year in my career where I am dreading returning. It's not the kids, it's all the adults that are nightmares to work with.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this after graduating/reaching a huge life goal. For the past few years, my life was basically nursing school, clinicals, studying, graduating, and then studying for the NCLEX. Literally 3 weeks ago I was stressed out studying for my NCLEX, and now I’ve passed, I’m officially an RN, and I’m about to start my first nursing job. I thought I would feel AMAZING once I finally got here. And I am proud of myself, but instead I’ve been feeling weirdly empty, bored, emotional, and super nostalgic. It feels like my life went from constantly having something I needed to accomplish to suddenly… nothing. 😭 My friends are still in my life, but everyone is busy with work/school/their own lives, so I have a lot of time alone right now. I haven’t started my new job yet either, so I’m basically in this awkward transition period. Lately I keep thinking about old periods of my life and missing them, even periods that I KNOW were stressful when I was actually l
Im a nurse with just over a year of experience going into the ICU, I always felt like the shifts I enjoyed the most were the ones where I had to deal with patients who needed more attention because they weren’t doing well or had significant changes to their status. I enjoyed being able to step out of that task-oriented mindset to deducing whether my patient could be decompensating, so I decided to try for an ICU position and was thankfully accepted. It will be for an ICU covering cardiac patients. As such, I am wondering what I should expect as I transition to a new role? Like, I am wondering how the workflow would be different, whether the learning curve is just as bad as going from new grad nurse to an experienced nurse, etc. I feel like being on med-surg has helped me anticipate interruptions to my workflow and how to budget my time effectively, but I do admit that I lean more towards task completion. I came from a medical floor that didn’t have any particular specialty (e.g., cardi
Not a nurse, but a CNA working towards a nursing degree. I worked a specific type of shift at my hospital a month ago. I will say, I had built a very good reputation for myself across the hospital (700+ bed hospital). The shift that I was working entailed covering breaks for 1:1 sitters, helping floors that were short staffed, basically helping wherever possible. I always offered to help and did way more than was expected of me. I was looking up the patients that I was going to be sitting with throughout my shift and was reported by a nurse that I didn’t even know. She stated I was looking at charts that I had no reason to access, which was not true. I also helped out in the ED by printing stickers for patients, getting the visit number for tele, vitals, finding out diet orders, etc. Since I had been reported, they pulled my Epic access reports and it looked “suspicious” to compliance because I opened charts in multiple different departments. My management explained the role of that sp

Ok, not today's peeve, but last week's peeve. My hospital does not allow RNs to do anything about our patients' toenails. Not file, not clip, doesn't matter if you're wound care, diabetic educator, no toenails. Only providers are allowed to do anything with toenails. I had a patient week before last, whose toenails had grown TWO INCHES (that's five centimetres) beyond the ends of their toes. And of course, this wasn't straight out the end of the toe, they were deformed to the side where they were scraping the other toes. And I wasn't allowed, by hospital policy, to do a damn thing about it. All I could do was notify the provider about the situation, and that hospital policy restricted me from addressing it. And the hospitalists refer the patients to outpatient podiatry, who have a 3 month wait time around here. It's infuriating. submitted by /u/Gwywnnydd [link] [comments]
