Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; National Communication System for Runaway and Homeless Youth, Currently Operated by the National Runaway Safeline Data Collection

The Family and Youth Services Bureau's (FYSB) Runaway and Homeless Youth Division has a legislative requirement to fund a National Communication System, which is currently operated by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). The NRS provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, and prevention resources to vulnerable youth at risk of running away and/or becoming homeless and their families or legal guardians at no cost. When necessary, the NRS refers runaway and homeless youth to shelters, counseling, medical assistance, and other vital services. The NRS collects information from all contacts with youth and adults connecting with the NRS (i.e., parents, family members, legal guardians, service providers) on a voluntary basis to inform crisis services and develop an annual report on the information collected during calls, chats, emails, and forum posts from young people who reached out to the NRS's crisis services. This information collection is approved under Office of Manag

My first day was AMAZING!!

I’m a first year science teacher for middle school and I ROCKED IT!!!!🥳🥳 There was so much build up anticipation from the PD and the entire summer I spent preparing for my first year, but it wasn’t even that bad😭😭. I was so nervous this morning I thought I’d vomit and then once I got to my planning period I was like wait this it? The kids weren’t nearly as bad as, reddit posts and wisdom about classroom management, made me think they’d be. Meaning i’m over prepared for any foolishness🥰🥰. Didn’t let too many things slide today and was good about enforcing the rules. My only background is substituting for 2 months and working in a daycare for 2 months, but they were back to back so maybe all of that combined experience made me a tank. Anyway, fellow first years good luck on your first day. Veterans feel free to leave any advice; I’m jumping into lab safety tomorrow and want to give a quiz on it as well before we start our unit to warm them up. I already announced this to them, so if you

Why are private schools “better” than public schools, but pay their teachers significantly less?

You’re paying thousands of dollars a year for your kid to go to a school staffed with teachers who have no financial incentive to do a decent job? Make it make sense. submitted by /u/Adventurous-Yak-9132 [link] [comments]

Old school nurse charting nothing

I worked with a nurse, before he retired, who charted literally nothing. Sometimes when I would get patients from him, there would be nothing but vitals, which are inputted by the aides lol. Occasionally I’d see him click the option for “same as previous assessment”. And there was always a transfer note if he received the Pt. Obviously meds were scanned in the MAR too. Is this how it used to be done? Is this something I can do LOL. I assume he did this because if anyone were to ask he would say something along the lines of “I followed the hospital protocol”, but I duno. Is this a terrible habit? I ask because after meeting him, I see some floats and travel nurses also chart the same way. submitted by /u/outbreak__monkey [link] [comments]

Class Size

Hi everyone! As the title states, this is about my class size for this upcoming year. As of right now I have 27 first grade students (the number is still climbing each day). No teacher aide as well. We start school next week Monday. I have never had a class size over 22 students and even that many 6/7 year olds can be tough. I’m wanting advice from any other teachers who have experienced such a large class size of littles. In addition, I have a good load of students with IEPS and 504s. Some of which are behavioral. I’m worried mostly for the students. Can I be fully effective with such a large class size? Any advice or even motivational stories would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/Trick_Story_2548 [link] [comments]

They Don’t Own You

Hello all incoming new teachers working for an independent/private school. I use to work for a Catholic School in Belmont and the biggest lesson I can give yall is that these parents who pay tuition, THEY DO NOT OWN YOU. Do not let them think you’re their servant and disrespect you. Have boundaries and be diplomatic when talking/emailing. Some of them think $ makes them the 2nd coming of Christ. When in reality, they’re just incompetent parents who think they can pay to win. Best of luck and be strong, but also fair. submitted by /u/Slight-Watercress151 [link] [comments]

Why is daughter’s FIL tipping nursing staff?

Daughter is MBA-type. Not medical at all. But learning tons since MIL/FIL with multiple comorbids with them almost a year. They have Deep South home but … Both insured retirees . Anyway .. aside from MIL’s run of the mill 80yo stuff … FIL (same age) = cardiac (open heart 30y ago and various related conditions ), uro (various recent procs), gastro (recent procs), endocrinology, (diabetic), psych (high anxiety). Today .. aside from hospital billing person arriving bedside asking for copays .. he asked my daughter to go to ATM and get cash so he could tip nursing team. My daughter asked me if this is routine. He told her, he ALWAYS does this and they appreciate it. Is this acceptable and routine today inpatient? submitted by /u/NomusaMagic [link] [comments]

Meghan Collins Testimony- Charge Nightmare

I don’t know if yall are keeping up with the Lindsay Clancy trial but the other day Meghan Collins, an experienced ICU nurse testified and was really such a good representative of the nursing profession. During her testimony, she discussed getting report from the nightshift nurse about how Lindsay had coded the night before and was very unstable. All I could think was imagine being the night charge nurse who had to make that assignment. I’m a pretty experienced charge nurse and it sounds like a nightmare. I’m imagining the neuro ICU census like I have a couple strokes, 2 or 3 brain bleeds from falls on blood thinners, a couple spinal surgery patients, oh and the newly paralyzed woman who is under guard and alleged to have murdered her 3 kids. I’ve had to make some hard assignments in my day but that sounds like an impossible choice. submitted by /u/beep_bop_boop__ [link] [comments]

Patient Death and How to Cope?

For background, I’ve been a nurse for about a year and a half in the emergency department. This week I had a patient recently that came in drenched with sweat and panicking, couldn’t get an O2 sat to register, he’s FREAKING tf out and cannot stay still. He was decompensating pretty quickly and eventually said through a NRB mask “I’m not going to make it” while looking right through me. He ended up coding and we worked him for a while but he died. And while we were working it I couldn’t come up with a single reason why he coded until they said his ventricle was full of clots and then I figured out he had a massive PE and he was so agitated because while he could breathe he wasn’t oxygenating or perfusing. I think the thing that really is messing with me is how terrified he was to die. Like genuinely he was so scared, knew he was going to die, and then he actually fucking died. No calm going into the light, just him freaking out and scared until he went quiet and coded. I’m sure some of

My colleagues are illiterate

A small charter school in Big City, Texas. My school keeps hiring people that aren’t certified (apparently a charter can get away with it). Some of my new coworkers are 22-25 years old. But even some older folks can’t read properly and can barely write a coherent sentence. For instance, I asked my new co-teachers to add information about themselves to an intro slide. They either misspelled words or capitalized what doesn’t need to be capitalized (and vice versa). And we teach English Language Arts and Reading… I’m sure this is not the last instance I will encounter this year. How do I go about this?? I don’t want to micromanage adults and be a grammar nazi, but aren’t we supposed to model the norms we expect from our students? I’m not only kind of embarrassed for them, but also terrified that the dark age of illiteracy is coming upon us. submitted by /u/ArcherUnleashed [link] [comments]

I know LTC has a bad reputation, but I absolutely love my job

I (26F) am a nursing student doing a learn on the job kind of program. Im in my final months before I graduate. I just came back after a few weeks of vacation and I was genuinely excited to start work again. Don’t get me wrong, it’s also hard and demanding. But at the same time it’s super rewarding as well. The residents were very happy and excited to see me again. I was welcomed with hugs, smiles and lots of happy faces. I like that they like me. I like getting to know the residents, hearing stories about their life. I like being able to comfort them when they’re sad or upset. I like winning the trust of scared or “difficult” residents. I like being able to be there for them in their final moments. I like being able to provide comfort and dignity. I like joking around and having fun with them. I like making their day better even when it’s just with a chat. I like the “girl moments” I have with the ladies, doing their hair and make-up. I like making them smile with pictures of my pets.

Today’s PD presenter said “I’ve never met a student who genuinely did not want to learn”

I left my dying dad’s bedside

My dad passed away in February. Two days before he passed, my mom, who has more grace in her pinky toe than I have in my whole body, allowed his former mistress to come say goodbye. That was the second time my mom allowed her to visit him in the hospital. I was the only one of my family members who couldn’t stand to be in the same room as her. Upon my hasty exit, I took the elevator with two nurses from the unit and immediately unloaded on them. I just remembered this moment on my drive home from work this morning and couldn’t stop laughing. Those nurses probably told the whole unit the tea 😂 Mods delete if not allowed but I needed to share with my fellow nurses.

Meet The Teacher/Open House Gift?

For the last two years, we’ve gifted our daughter’s Pre K teachers the Our Class Is a Family book (so I could sneak the preference sheets inside. It also helped me figure out what extra school supplies to get.) We also gave them a small flower bouquet so I could tuck Visa gift cards into it that they could use for coffee, classroom supplies, or whatever they needed. I’m not at all trying to be a kiss ass or a Pinterest mom, just kind to someone who will be spending a lot of time nurturing my child. I’ve seen some teachers comment on other posts that this would make them wary of helicopter moms. Should I ditch/alter my idea? If I should keep the GCs, how much would you put on it as a polite amount (per teacher)? submitted by /u/CreativeEditor1567 [link] [comments]

$60k ABSN or $15k ADN that is 1.5 hrs away?

Really only have two options for nursing school: Option 1: ABSN 30–45 minute commute (1hr door to door using public transit) $60k tuition 18 month program For profit school with a mixed reputation, okay clinical placements, and decent NCLEX pass rate I'd graduate about a year sooner Option 2: ADN About a 1.5-hour drive to a community college in the middle of nowhere Virtually no traffic, it's mostly cornfields, so the drive should be easy and predictable, though winter driving might be tricky About $15k in tuition I'm estimating another ~$15k for travel/hotels if I need to stay overnight for clinicals that are further out or during bad weather Great reputation and a solid NCLEX pass rate Financially, I can afford the ABSN, but the for profit, "easy to get into, but fail out" environment makes me hesitant. The academic side of ADN program seems perfect, it's just the commute I'm worried about. Anyone ever do a commute like this? submitted by /u/wolfgangwolff [link] [comments]

First OR clinical

Hello everyone! I have my OR clinical coming up and wanted to seek advice on how to be as prepared as possible. Some things I’m especially curious about: - What are the biggest etiquette rules that no one tells you beforehand? - What are common mistakes students make? - Where should you stand, and where should you never stand? - What can accidentally contaminate a sterile field? - When is it okay to ask questions, and when should you stay quiet? - What are some opportunities students usually get to participate in? (For example, Foley catheter insertion, positioning the patient, helping with prep, etc.) - What skills did you get to perform, if any? - What kinds of questions did your instructor or OR staff ask you? - What anatomy, instruments, or procedures should I review beforehand? - What are some things you wish you had known before your first OR clinical? - Are there any unwritten rules that make the OR staff appreciate having a student around? I’d also love to hear any stories abou

Reminder on how not to get sick

I'm a retired band director, now a substitute for a small rural district. I just saw a teacher whom I've worked with in Life Skills and we were exchanging pleasantries about the beginning of school next week. That got me remembering how a couple of years ago I was subbing for one of the aides for several days in her classroom THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL and how I came down with COVID immediately afterwards. I didn't immediately connect the dots until much later. If one hasn't been around people especially kids for a while then you lose that immunity. Plus, if you teach the younger kids then you know how touchy-feely they can be. I remember going home one day and jokingly telling my husband, "I've been slimed." When you get home, take a shower immediately, and change into clean clothes. Wash what you had on if possible that day. Since following that protocol, I haven't been sick from school in four years. It's not enough to just wash your hands; you have to do almost Star Trek decontaminat

Not respected profession?

Hi, I have been feeling really discouraged lately. Any time I tell people that I’m a teacher, it just gets no respect at all. People say “oh wow I could never do that” or “oh you’re a teacher :/“. It makes me feel bad and discouraged about my choice. I had to work hard, do unpaid internships, get a masters degree just for no one to respect it or for the pay to be so minimal. I am jealous of others’ careers or what I could’ve chosen. All the work I put in and it just doesn’t feel worth it at all. Has anyone else ever felt this way???

Experiences with Competitive Nursing Admissions

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming student at a liberal arts college where students apply to the nursing program during their sophomore year rather than being admitted directly as freshmen. Since admission is competitive, I'm a little nervous about not getting accepted. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? If you weren't admitted to your school's nursing program, what path did you take afterward? Did you switch majors, transfer to another school, or find another route into nursing? For those who were admitted, what do you think made your application stand out? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you have.

Nurses harmed by ICE

My daughter recently told me of a friend, an ER nurse, fired by her (non-union) hospital for trying to protect a patient from ICE. This led to me doing a search for news articles R/T this, & I am finding a distressing number of articles about ICE goons throwing nurses to the ground or similar. I do not know whether the hospital I mentioned above cited the incident in the nurse's firing, or conveniently found some other "reason" to fire her (you know how that goes). Does anyone know, are there groups (NNA, legal, immigrants rights) that have nurses' backs in any way at all, in these incidents? submitted by /u/Oothoon63 [link] [comments]

Who else feels like they’re getting slapped in the face by the DOE?

I have seen too many Nurses struggling with their mental health and financial ruin because of the changes made by the Department of Education. I will never forgive them for breaking my contracted loan agreement and finding every way to delay or take PSLF away from us. Especially when they handed PPP loans out like crazy with zero oversight. They know they are intentionally hurting healthcare workers, Nurses and teachers by removing ways to help us reach PSLF. People like me who are Millenials, have a mortgage, kids, and aging parents to care for. Not mention our own health and medical issues are close to losing everything or at risk for being financially destroyed. My fiancé is in IT and has been laid off for a year. The market is dead right now. We’re facing the reality that I might have to get a second Nursing job which exacerbate my medical condition or he has to file for bankruptcy. One thing that I counted on was that if I held on a few more years I could get my loans forgiven. No

Charge nurse has a bizarre power-trip fetish during report and I am losing my mind

I need to vent because I am ready to scream. I’ve been a med-surg nurse for a while now, so I know how hand-off is supposed to go. I transitioned to a new hospital recently, and I have zero issues giving report to anyone else on the floor. Smooth, concise, SBAR, get out on the floor. Except for one specific charge nurse. This woman has some kind of sick power fetish. She demands to know every single last microscopic lab value, every historical background detail, and every single scan and imaging result down to the pixel. And I am not exaggerating—I literally spent two hours meticulously writing and organizing my report sheet overnight trying to bulletproof it against her, and it was still not f***** good enough. Even with a comprehensive written report, she still dragged our 5-patient hand-off out to nearly 50 agonizing minutes of line-by-line chart interrogation. Why am I wasting time verbally reciting routine labs that are sitting right there in the chart? Meanwhile, actual patient c

Anyone else struggle with balancing GPA vs. building your résumé in nursing school?

I’m looking for some advice from people who have been through this. Before nursing school, I had a 4.0 GPA in high school and was very involved in extracurriculars and leadership. Since starting nursing school, it’s been a completely different experience. I’ve been working hard just to stay around a 3.0 GPA, and most of my time goes toward trying to keep up with coursework. I’m in the Texas Medical Center area, so residency programs are very competitive. I keep hearing that becoming a Professional Student Nurse (PSN) is highly encouraged, but many of those programs require a 3.2–3.5 GPA, and it seems like there are hundreds (if not thousands) of applicants who also have extensive leadership, volunteer work, and healthcare experience. At this point, I’m struggling to balance everything. I feel like if I spend more time building my résumé, my grades may suffer, but if I focus primarily on grades, I worry I won’t be competitive enough for residency applications.

Basic and niche classroom essentials?

Back again for more advice as a new teacher! I’ll be setting up my classroom next week, and I can’t help but feel like I’m missing some obvious essentials on my shopping list so i’m curious what people would recommend getting. My school gave me a 150$ Amazon budget and I asked for a variety of things I can’t get in physical stores, like fluorescent light covers, posters, a specific pencil sharpener I wanted - odds and ends mostly. I do have a 100$ gift card I was planning to spend before I found out they’d buy stuff for my classroom, and I’m also happy to spend some of my own money if I feel it’s worth it. I know a lot of veterans say not to do that, but I’ve saved throughout college for a reason (though I don’t want to spend more than a couple hundred). I already plan on getting a cute rug for rug time and a desk chair, if the one I’m given isn’t comfortable, and some bins for students work. But I’m not sure what else to get, if I should get anything else. So what basic or niche thing

I've taught MS ELA at this school for 8 years and admin is suddenly demanding that I also be the ELD teacher without time to plan for it. Am I overreacting?

As the title says, I've been at this school for a while. For the past several years, we have been using a co-teaching model, with great success, that pairs ELA with History. I teach three classes of ELA with the intensive support of my co-teacher and I give intensive support for the three History classes my partner teaches. We have aligned our units of study to compliment each other and I am able to do deep-dives into informational reading/writing with my small groups during History class while connecting it all back to ELA. Since we started this model, our students' scores have far outshined the rest of our state. It's been amazing. This past June, my (newish) principal floated the idea of me leaving the History class for one period a day to teach our ELL/ELD students. I, and the rest of my team, shot down the idea and gave arguments against it. The previous ELD teacher did very well the 25-26 school year and ELA scores were also fantastic. We were doing great and none of us wanted to

Stressful/scary event today at work, vent

I was having a good shift today lol. Right at shift change 7PM my patient needed to use the restroom. Patient was post op a hip surgery. I had already gotten her up before to the chair. Her vitals were perfect 120/80. I came in to give her evening Tylenol and IV steroid that I had already given her 6 hours earlier. She was in the recliner, asking to go use the restroom to pee and then to bed. I put the gait belt on her, asked her how she felt, all good and we walked to the toilet sat her down to pee. She has a good pee, was happy to hear she voided because had problems not peeing after surgery last time. She wanted to go to the sink to wash her hands, so I get her there, and then she tells me she starts feeling dizzy, I see the smile in her face begin to fade, and she becomes unresponsive. I try to reach for my vocera to call for a wheelchair or some assistance but I realize we had all turned them in already (we turn in our vocera at end of shift). She begins to pass out.

I don’t understand why anyone would be a home health nurse.

About a month ago I switched from a busy level iii ER and did an internal transfer to a part time home health gig. I mostly left because a provider was harassing me, it was a tight nit provider group, and I didn’t see a way out other than to quit. I switched because I felt trapped and I can’t quit my organization until September because of a new grad bonus I took and some tuition reimbursement. So I’m trying to stick it out with this home health gig but the more I do it the more I hate it. I want to be clear. I love working with patients. I hate how I feel taken advantage of. First of all, $.76/mile IS NOT WORTH the wear and tear I’m putting on my car. 1000 miles = $760 and that’s barely enough to change ONE brake pad and rotor at the mechanic.

Got my dream school

After 8 interviews, I finally landed a position at my dream school. I had been substituting there as much as I could for the past two years when home from college. The staff were always so friendly and students began to recognize me in the hallway from being there so often. I felt like a celebrity😂 About a month ago, I interviewed there for a fifth grade ELA position. It wasn’t my favorite age or subject, but I just wanted to get my foot in the door. Even when I landed a second round interview, I didn’t get the position. Come to find out that the principal thought it was a really hard decision, but he thought I’d suit a younger grade. Since then, I’ve been on four more interviews. And even last Thursday I got a job offer for third grade (I haven’t signed anything or heard from HR yet). Anyways, I got an email today from the principal asking if I was interested in a second grade position. I immediately got on the phone with him.
