The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending a notice entitled "Fee Rate for Using a Priority Review Voucher in Fiscal Year 2026" that appeared in the Federal Register on September 18, 2025. The notice established the FY 2026 priority review fee rate applicable to submission of eligible applications for review of human drug or biological products using a rare pediatric disease, material threat medical countermeasure, or tropical disease priority review voucher and outlined the payment procedures for such fees. This amendment is being made to reflect that on February 3, 2026, Congress amended section 529 of the FD&C Act, including to require a sponsor of a human drug application that is the subject of a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher to submit a priority review user fee "upon the submission of a human drug application under section 505(b)(1) or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act for which the priority review voucher is used."

I am a second year teacher. I am starting my second year at the same school, and I teach a state tested class (Algebra 1). I am feeling so defeated and overwhelmed after my first day back at pre planning. Last year, I felt like I had the best year! My test scores on unit assessments were GREAT, my classes were cohesive, and my relationships with my coworkers were amazing. I even won “rookie of the year” and got on a stage to get handed a big, cheesy check! And then my state test scores came. My students did not perform how their unit assessments said they should have. So many of them still passed! Albeit, in the “proficient” category (not what the district looks at). Knowing where my students started, and how proud they were of themselves was the best. But no one else seemed happy. I felt like the admin teams started avoiding me and looking at me different. My coworkers told me I did all I could, and I couldn’t have done anything differently, and so many other factors go into testing.
Long story short, I’ve been a nurse for about 3 years now. I was excited at first but it seems every job I’ve had is a MESS! Micromanaging, racists coworkers, no help, terrible orientation, Etc…. On top of this I’m completely burned out on direct patient care. I left the OR (x2), went to observation (basically step down), and now hospice. I thought hospice would be so much better but this is the worst thing I could’ve done to myself. I wish I could’ve just stayed on nights in obs. It been 3 weeks now (including 5 days of hospice training with a nurse). I’m so burned out. I know absolutely nothing about a specialty that has a completely different shift in thinking. I want so badly to give this position to someone who ACTUALLY wants it. That’s how bad it is. I’m not passionate about it. Why should I keep it?! But unfortunately I have to wait until another job lines up in the economy! I’ve applied to several remote (CVS rejected), Humana… and even clinical documentation, informatics speci
It took me several years but I finally translated the word "relationship" in my head into something that made sense for me. I just flipped it into the word "trust." Students don't have to like me, or bond with me, or have shared interests or whatever. But for learning to happen they do need to trust me. They need to trust that whatever nonsense I'm delivering in the curriculum now will be important or useful later. Why on Earth would they listen to me going over long division for weeks unless they trust that it will be worth it in the future... They need to trust that I will be fair (not necessarily equal) and consistent in my discipline and consequences, or they won't respect my rules and authority. They need to trust that I will help them if they come to me with a problem, otherwise I'll never hear about the quiet bullying, or find out I need to make that CPS call. So I listen and make time to support with the little trivial problems. It also means that students with trauma, had terr

Hey so, over summer I got an electric scooter because my car is no longer functioning. I don't live far from the school at all. Anyways, how do I ask the admin if I can store the scooter somewhere inside? I work as a para in sped. I feel like this is going to be super embarrassing to bring the scooter inside but I can't have it outside because it's extremely hot where I live and the sun will make the battery explode.

Preface: the best use of teacher time is most likely spent planning with colleagues and working in their own classroom. That said, if you had to pick a PD session at a conference style day. Sessions could range anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. What content style sessions would catch your eye (preferably things related to specifically to ELA/SS). This could be at an Elementary, middle, or high level, but please specify your grade range. For example, personally I gravitate toward sessions based on researchers or authors I’ve been reading. Currently, if a session mentions Anita Archer, Joan Sedita, or Natalie Wexler I’m picking them. submitted by /u/unreadysoup8643 [link] [comments]
Hi everyone. I’ve been a nurse for about 7 months now and had a interview today at a LTC facility. I was given an offer and told I had a drug screening to complete. I no longer smoke, and It has been months since I’ve smoked anything. I’ve also taken lots of at home THC urine tests that came back negative. I took the test and I wasn’t able to provide much urine. The lady told me all of the results came back negative except for THC. I took a look at the test and there were two lines , one being faint but still visible indicating a negative. She told me all of the lines were bold except for that one, and that they all need to be bold. She advised me maybe it wasn’t enough urine and I could possibly retest. They took me to HR and he was asking what she told me. I told him exactly what she said. I saw a faint line, she said there wasn’t enough urine and I could possibly retest. He goes “well on this paper it says you tested positive for THC”. I said that couldn’t be right, she told me I di
Save your unit plans, lesson plans, rubrics, and adapted materials— especially if you think you might change schools, districts, or states down the line. Especially if created it on off-duty hours. Ask me how I know. I'm back in the classroom after some time overseas and have a bunch of interviews coming up. Every single hiring committee has asked for my portfolio (which ironically my state did away with). Now a my best work is locked away on Google drives I don't have access to. So now I'm sifting though a thumb drive with old grad school projects to show hiring committees what I can do instead things I did do. It's frustrating and stressful. Back up your stuff to a personal hard drive or cloud account. Don't assume you'll have time to download it, my last district didn't allow thumb drives on devices.

First year teacher! I had an interview last week and was offered the job for a 4/5th ELA grade teacher (don’t know the exact one yet). I had 3 people that knew the principal personally & gave me a good reference. The job pays well, good benefits, 9 miles from my house (20min drive). No contract signed yet. I haven’t seen my room & still don’t know the grade I’m teaching yet. I have an interview tomorrow for the district I graduated high school from, for a 3rd grade teacher. Small school, better pay than the other & about a 3.4 mile drive (10min). I always dreamed of coming back & teaching in this district. I haven’t been offered the job yet but I would definitely want to accept if I got it. I have two littles also, one going into kinder in our town, my other is 15mo. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation & what you did? submitted by /u/pizzaprincess915 [link] [comments]
Bit of an unpopular opinion, but a mindset that’s allowed me to make it to year 5 without becoming an alcoholic. Never let your students get away with saying something disrespectful. Now you don’t necessarily have to go full Madea and be like, “what you said?!”, but give them the floor and ask them to elaborate on what they meant. 9/10, they won’t have anything else to say. “they’Re just KIds/ their frontal cortex isn’t developed!” Okay and? That doesn’t mean you have to tolerate their smart mouths. I’d argue the more you let the disrespect fly under the radar unchecked, it will just embolden them. submitted by /u/Emergency-Pepper3537 [link] [comments]

I just worked a 12 hour night shift last night and it was super super busy. I’m a float pool nurse and I was on a floor that purposely gives us the hardest patients because “we get paid more so we should have to work more” and boy did I work. I was giving a pretty complex patient to a nurse who is the type that never uses report sheets and always stays super late because shes always goofing off when she’s not with patients and doesn’t finish her charting. Well anyways I was still in the middle of charting on a completely different patient as 7am because I was so busy last night and she came up to ask for report. I told her what I could remember off the top of my head but literally so much happened with this patient that I knew I was missing something but I couldn’t remember what. I told her please read my note it’s super detailed and I know I’m forgetting something (the thing I forgot to say was in there) but she NEVER READS. It was a patient who came from an outside hospital with a mi
I’m a freshly certified teacher looking for my first job (K-6) in NJ. I’ve seen very few openings near me for actual full time tenure track positions, but lots of leave replacements. It would make more sense if the leave replacement periods were spread out, but I’ve seen a ton of jobs in different districts that are specifically only from the beginning of the school year until the first or second week of October. I’m just wondering why that date range in particular is so popular? Is it just teachers extending their summer break? Do they not want to deal with back to school night? Again I’m new to all this so I’m not sure how it works.. just seemed odd to me. submitted by /u/SuspiciousPrune4 [link] [comments]
End of the year for me ended in a lot of negative thinking and I'm having a hard time getting rid of the feeling of dread.

So, I was never planning to leave the classroom to go back into admin. Been there, done that. I love being in the classroom and being an administrator is stressful and not always worth the pay bump. I spent several years as a vice principal. Well, my wife and daughter encouraged me to apply for a Dean of Students position at the local high school. There was a last minute opening due to someone resigning a few weeks ago. My wife (a middle school ELA teacher) thinks I can help the staff out. My daughter wants me to make more money and work at the school she’ll attend as a freshman in a year from now. She actually likes going to school where I work still. So I applied for the position, went through three interviews, and just received the offer. The pay increase isn’t much, but everything helps. Plus it’s more to put into my daughter’s college fund. But there is a caveat. I will also have to teach one to two freshman social studies classes every day. Not the worst thing in the world and it
Yes I know the easy answer is “retain them”, but realistically thats never going to happen. A kid fails two grades before 6th and you now have a teenager in Elementary School. A kid fails two grades before 9th and now you have a Middle Schooler who’s driving to school. It’s incredibly hard to know what to do because socialization level and academic level can be so different. I think the answer is easier in High School because you can have them repeat specific classes until they either pass them or get booted from the system on their 21st birthday. Anybody have any ideas or options what should happen? Are there any historical practices or international practices we should look to? submitted by /u/eaglesnation11 [link] [comments]
I was talking about this with two of my close friends who also work in healthcare. They are both guys, 40s, and pretty attractive and in good shape. They were describing to me how nice everyone they work with is to them compared to how their coworkers are to other employees who are women. For example, my one friend started on a new unit at the same time as a new female nurse. Everyone was so helpful and nice to him, but were super critical of and unkind toward the new girl. I don’t know if it’s because the nursing profession is predominantly women so there’s more cattiness towards each other or if my coworkers just had pretty privilege lol. I think pretty privilege in healthcare mostly only applies to men. What are your thoughts and experiences? submitted by /u/Agitated_Rutabaga507 [link] [comments]

Genuinely how do you do this every year. I am just starting to feel like a human again, I can’t believe it’s time to go back.

I’m already sad about what I could have used my time for. I’m angry I didn’t do more — but I’m trying to give myself the grace of being emotionally burnt out to the max this summer.

I got hired at a new school and the teacher before me had been in this room for 10 years. Well the teacher got an instructional coaching position and left all of their unwanted crap in every single cabinet. There’s not a single empty cabinet for me to put my things in. I’m an experienced teacher, so I already have a bunch of my own stuff, meaning I now have to completely clean out all of their stuff before I can even put my own crap away. I’m sick of teachers doing this. It’s a common thing in the education world (at least from my experience) and admin needs to start making sure teachers completely clean out rooms before leaving. I understand that there might be a lot of useful stuff, but put it in boxes in the hallway, don’t leave your mess in the classroom for the next teacher to clean up. It’s hours of added work on top of the stress of having to organize my own stuff and set up a new room with limited time and it’s not my job to clean up the mess of another teacher. Rant over. Edit
I cannot count the times that I mention my work in home healthcare, nurse tech positions, or as a pediatric nurse intern and the very next thing said to me is some form of, "wait so do you have to help people shower???" Yes Brittneigh, I help people shower, get dressed, use the bathroom, and eat. Heck I wipe people's butts and put cream on them! These are base tasks for any care taking job. No, I don't care that you could "never do that" because its "weird" or "awkward", and I especially don't want to hear about how you feel it must end up being sexual. These are my patients, they have inherent dignity as human beings and the fact they need help with something that is usually private does not detract from that dignity, for either of us. It actually speaks highly of the fact my patients trust me and that we have a good relationship. Bonus points when I'm asked if there's any way they could become a nurse and just skip all that stuff. NO THERE ISN'T!!!! If my caring for someone that happ

Hi nursing family! I just want to rant a bit. I've been looking into transferring to another specialty because I've been working in my specialty (neurosciences/telemetry/trauma) for 3 years now and I'm getting severely burned out. On top of that, I have been harassed at work by another coworker and eventually HR got involved to stop the physical harassment but the psychological is still happening, to a point where I would get physically sick to work with that individual. However, it seems like I can't get a position anywhere as an internal hire despite people around me keep telling me I got the skills and the qualifications (charge nurse, resource nurse, preceptor experiences). I feel miserable coming to work and overall frustrated with my situation. Deciding to transfer is not an overnight decision. I have been brewing this idea in my mind for a while but the harassment is the tipping point. I feel so defeated and not wanting to go to work at all. submitted by /u/FilmAdditional6178 [l

I’ll try to keep this semi short. At the start of last school year I was briefly displaced and worked at another high school from August to October. My time there was pretty miserable mostly due to one student who had some severe behavior problems. I was at the start of my third year and maybe ill equipped to work with this kind of student as she quickly became notorious around campus for disruptive behavior, getting into fights, antagonizing peers and staff. The coteacher I worked with who was also her case carrier was even shocked by her behavior and he’s been teaching for 15 years. At one point before I left there was one big incident with this student where she did throw an eraser at my head when I had my back turned to her. This led to an involvement from our union rep, parent meeting and her being permanently removed from my class. Funnily enough within that same week, my former principal emailed me asking if I’d be interested in returning, to which I did. It hesitate. Well I spe
