Anyone else not excited?

Monday is the first day of school. After preschool week, I feel burned out already. My patience is gone with administration who had nothing ready, custodians who are still waxing the floors because they didn't do shit all summer, and teachers using ChatGPT to create everything! The amount of adults who don't do their job has me really upset. I am usually excited to start but something feels different this year. submitted by /u/loveyourlife19 [link] [comments]

So Frustrated and Can't Get Hired

Hi everyone! I finished my first year teaching in the spring and unfortunately got laid off. I LOVED the kids and my coworkers and it really was unfortunate. However, the situation I find myself in now is even more unfortunate. I just can't get hired. Not even an interview. I have three certification areas and went to an elite college (not that it really matters but could make me more desirable) and have excellent letters of recommendation. Time is running out and I can't even get a long term sub job. What am I supposed to do?? Advice or just commiseration would be great :( Edit: I am also bilingual and have worked only in urban settings submitted by /u/ReasonTime800 [link] [comments]

So... here we are. I have realized after my in-service week that more things will be expected of us because we can "just use ChatGPT". I hate that phrase.

Being a new nurse is so unrelentingly humbling.

This job rips. I worked hard to get here and I’m so grateful to be where I am. I get mangled so frequently it’s insane, and my inexperience hangs out and it feels like I’ve ripped my pants in front of every childhood crush I’ve ever had. I’m surrounded be people who I value and admire. They teach me and I try to retain; I do retain; then I lose some in time like condensation on a cold glass of water. Insensible fluid loss. Knowledge and stimulus overload. Yesterday I encountered an instance with a patient where my inexperience felt so glaring that I asked myself ā€œwhat’s the fuck am I doing here?ā€ In the end, I got through and as far as I know my patient remained stable until transfer to higher level of care. Now I’m putting my scrubs back on. Trying to dust yesterday off my shoulders. Trying to be a clear slate. I’m probably going to get challenged again tonight. I repeat the faint consolation that it couldn’t be harder than last night. A whistle in the dark because I know it’s just a

Aspiring Teachers: don’t overlook CTE!

If you’re struggling to find a teaching job after college, don’t overlook CTE I keep seeing posts from new teachers who graduated, got licensed, and are now struggling to find a position in their subject area. I wanted to throw out an alternative that I honestly didn’t know much about until I got into it myself: CTE (Career and Technical Education). CTE classes are the career-focused courses offered in middle and high schools. Depending on the school, that can include culinary arts, automotive, construction, agriculture, health sciences, business, marketing, computer science, engineering, media, cosmetology, hospitality, and a ton of other pathways. I teach Culinary Arts at a public high school in Hawaii. I switched to teaching after 15 years in the culinary industry. I was able to get hired without a degree based on my experience. I’m considered an emergency hire but I have 5 years to get certified so I’m back taking online classes to get a CTE teaching license. I also didn’t have to

Using Gen AI to make children "look diverse"

I'm baffled. It took me an entire day to comprehend this. Yesterday we had an actually useful training about behaviors (although we didn't have enough time to cover challenging behaviors... augh) and we were discussing diversity being displayed in photographs and materials we use. Specifically one method of taking real pictures of your classroom for your daily schedule. This trainer specifically noticed one picture of snack time was all white children and teachers sitting down for snack time in one of the classrooms she worked in. She decided to, and I quote use Gen AI "to make the children look more diverse" I audibly gagged at that ngl. You put children's faces into a computer to make them diverse? What the actual fuck... I don't care if the picture was like 20 years old, take a new one or get shutter shock images for your daily schedule. Or, make the displays and take pictures without children in it? Like... 😭 I have no hope. submitted by /u/SnooWaffles413 [link] [comments]

IEP/504 Overload

Getting ready for new year, and the new IEP/504 documents are being funneled out. Teaching 6th Grade and the from-Elementary plans are atrocious…. 50% of the kids on plans in an area where the demographics would indicate that it would be significantly less than national average. (Wealthy, rural, primarily traditional homes) The plans themselves are ridiculous. Have elementary admin surrendered to being treated like daycare centers? From above, it seems like they’re making significant academic concessions for any parent who asks. If we are going to harp on literacy rates, I’d like a look at the rates that exclude data from students that are exempted from any level of academic challenge/rigor. It’s disheartening. 10 students on plans, 50 minutes, no para or coteacher. Feels like a recipe for me to be accused of being out of compliance. submitted by /u/BiteThese8993 [link] [comments]

What's the most profound thing you've learned being a teacher?

Title is my question. I've learned that successful teachers are typically unliked among kids ironically. "Uggg, I hate that class!" Yet the teacher has climbed the pay scale and the kids learn a lot in it. Kids want freedom, but need boundaries. I sometimes wonder if they'll be happy with freedom inside of those boundaries. submitted by /u/JimCap5 [link] [comments]

When should I tell my families about my pregnancy?

Hi everyone. I’m 11 weeks pregnant and starting school on Monday. Admin already knows but I’m scared to tell families. Last year I left on maternity leave in October and here I am pregnant again! It was planned and my husband and I are very happy. In my school, we teach two grade levels in a classroom. I teach 4th and 5th. My 4th graders cycle through to 5th grade with me. Therefore, I keep half my group for two years. Can you see the potential issue here? My now 5th graders will have had a teacher on leave 2 years in a row and I’m terrified that the parents will freak out. Last year, parents were trying to pull their kids out of my class because they were so scared of an interim sub. This year, I’m due 2/25/27, which means I have 7 months to teach critical material and when I leave, it’ll basically be testing season and they’ll just be refining their skills. How long would you wait if you were in my position. submitted by /u/GravelandSmoke [link] [comments]

Patients families are worse than patients

Is it just me or are people kinda... entitled? And ungrateful? Stupid? I know I would feel grateful if someone was caring for my parent, child, or loved one and relieving me of the responsibility. (Coming from a special needs mom). In other times or countries, the responsibility falls on the family to take care of their sick/disabled ones. I wonder if that ever occurs to some people...? Like if they dont like how we are, they could take them home and do it themselves? Or they could have to be doing it themselves and wow its kinda cool they dont have to? We empathize with them, they dont seem to empathize with us. That shit gets old.

Paycheck decline Um Not cool

So as the title says my paycheck was declined For a little backstory, I had initially attempted to start per diem at this SNF however due to training schedule conflicts, I wasn’t able to complete orientation and I never received a paycheck, but I let it go- didn’t think much of it since I was employed FT elsewhere. Fast-forward to a month ago when I was able to start a part-time position with them, I had mentioned the previous paycheck not being received and they said they would look into it. I’ve just finished all my entire orientation and was supposed to be paid on Thursday. Imagine my surprise and I went to go cash my check on Friday and the mobile deposit wouldn’t work. I figured it was probably just a problem with the size of the check so this morning I took it to the bank. I attempted to cash it through the ATM and was told to check was invalid. I have contacted HR. I’m extremely upset. They owe me over $2500. The taxes have already been taken out, but no money has hit my account

They told me I'm not the only one being tested as well. The next day they called me to schedule a time next week to come talk to them. This will all take place 5 days after the urine test.

This is my first post, ever. I’m a registered nurse working case management (M-F, 9-5) at my hospital that I’ve been at for 3 years and as of recently I picked up a second job, which is social media. My social media has rapidly grown over these past few months, income including. I recently was reached out by my dream brand and they invited me for a two day campaign photo shoot (absolutely insane). They would accommodate for my travel costs and for me being there. As soon as I was told this news, I immediately went to request PTO. I had a feeling my boss was going to deny me, which she did. I know she doesn’t like me, and I have absolutely no idea why. Anyway, besides the point, my question is, do I call out regardless and attend this photoshoot and deal with the repercussions when I get back? I’m at a loss.

I am a new teacher and am really excited to begin the new year. I like my group of teachers. They have been very helpful with providing decor, advice, and words of encouragement.

Work 3x 12's and pick up an extra 1 OT shift every other week. Out of the house at 6 AM and return around 8:30 PM. Non-work days would be a non-issue. However, on work days, my plan was to go for a 30-40 min walk in the morning prior to work and then 20-30 mins after work. While I'm at work, have a dog walker or parents come by around 1 PM to spend time with them for an hour. For dog owners who live alone and can weigh in, do you think I'm "doing enough" on my work days for them or do you think i'd need to make more accommodations? Despite REALLY wanting 1 or 2 small dogs I do not want to be selfish and not provide them with the best possible life that I could.

Nursing /Yearly Evaluations

For one yearly eval, I met the 5% max raise evaluation but I was only given 4% because i wasn't allowed to be given a percentage point increase of 2% points from my previous years evaluation (which was a 3% even though I met the criteria for the 5%). I had consistently stayed late for work, and averaged about 40-50 hours of call a week for years. If that doesn't qualify as exceeds then I don't know what else does. Honestly if you show up for your shift at least consistently and have enough to keep your mental health, physical health and home life health intact. This should constitute a 5% evaluation on it's own. That honestly changed somthing in me. Now, I still do my best at work, but, I don't think I really care about evals? Just some thoughts here.

I got hired as night shift ICU. Day 1 orientation, I told my preceptor my background, but she was pretty much hands off with me. Taught me once, then expected me to be completely proficient with it. Struggled with epic so much. Didn’t take my breaks so I won’t be behind on my flowsheets. At the end of shift I asked her for feedback and studied on my days off. I was off for 3 days. Day 2, we got assigned 2 intubated patients. Both sedated, fo

Report: White House drafting executive order linking vaccines and autism

I am so tired of this fucking administration and their anti-vaxx and anti-science bullshit. If you're a nurse and you support this administration and/or this anti-vaxx bullshit, get the fuck out of the profession. That's it. That's the post. submitted by /u/Butthole_Surfer_GI [link] [comments]

PD

I’m a second grade teacher in Texas. This year’s PD was intense. We were trained on a new math curriculum and the trainer was absolutely insufferable😭. She was talking to us as if we asked to be there, and as if we asked for tips on how to teach. Ma’am, I’m there to be shown how to navigate the curriculum and what it offers. This lady was going on about how much children are dying to learn and that we are doing them a disservice if we do not follow the curriculum verbatim. There was a point in the work day that she was telling us how to talk to the students and how much they need to move around. We already know that. ā€œGuys ā˜¹ļø the kids NEED to move around okay ā˜¹ļø please give them that. Let them get up and do a movement activity after.ā€ Idk, maybe I’m just a negative Nancy. But, if wanted to learn about classroom management and student engagement, I would’ve signed up for that. Just give me the facts, and let me go work on getting my classroom ready. submitted by /u/FlyBeneficial [link]

Surprise Tattoo Potential?

I’d like to surprise my RN wife with a session along side my first ever session while we’re away on holiday. Would her coming back to work with a fresh one wrapped up typically be a problem? She’s postpartum mom&baby unit. submitted by /u/chazlander [link] [comments]

Help with clinical (Canada (if it matters))

Hey everyone, I have a question/I really need advice. I’m January of this year I was unsuccessful on my clinical on a surgical unit. I start and retry next January (2027) and need help figuring out what I can do to retain and maintain my information/competency In general in the next few months. Thus my question/ advice request, what should I do? Resources, tips, ideas, I’m open to anything. Also if it means anything I was unsuccessful because I have a hard time remembering things and pulling all important information from pt charts. Any advice is greatly appreciated, I’m very anxious about going back, a feeling I will fail is kicking my butt. submitted by /u/AdhesivenessFit1859 [link] [comments]

Nurse/PCT back pain

Hi I’m going to start my nursing school in 20 days and at the same time, I am going to work as a PCT (apprentice) at a hospital. I have had a disc bulged due to an accident three years back when I was 17. I had a bad rest of three months which helped me stop my pain. It took me at least four months to recover. Since then, I have not had any episode of pain. But sometimes there is muscle tension whenever I left something heavy and to mention, I usually avoid lifting heavy things. I have been doing my nursing pre requisites for one and a half year. I think that will go in waste. My parents are not happy at all because they have invested a lot of money on those courses. I’m very scared right now. I’ve not been sleeping from last three days when I got to know in the hospital orientation that I will have to lift patients which I knew I will have to, but I was not very sure about that. After that, I have started practicing turning my mom side to side and see if I’ll be able to work or not. I

Christmas break starts on Christmas Eve…

Just ranting because I’m annoyed and frustrated. My district calendar is out for the next two years and our Christmas break begins on Christmas Eve in 26/27 and 27/28 school years. This year we get 7 school days off and next year, only 6. I’m sure they have their reasons, but how are people supposed to travel to visit family if the first available travel days is Christmas freaking Eve? Maybe I’m just too old school. Even as a kid, we’ve always had two weeks or more. Is this the new norm? Edit: I forgot to add that last year’s calendar was voted on by families to have two full weeks for Christmas break and add two days to the end of the school year. There was no such vote on subsequent calendars. submitted by /u/tkd_kiki [link] [comments]

Finally, Time Mag. calling it like it is

Time magazine finally pointing out the truth. There is no shortage of nurses. The problem are the facilities that would rather run short staffed and underpay nurses that do show up. The demands of the bedside are not commiserate with the pay offered. What do you all think? submitted by /u/Sea_Willingness1398 [link] [comments]
