I'm in Texas! My first year of teaching was at a very small private school, it was self contained, 3rd grade, and I had 8 kids. I got into a power struggle of sorts with one kid, and she was expelled because of my rock solid documentation. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was just hard all the time, despite being the easiest possible situation. To be fair, I was off of ADHD medication, but still. The next year was at a charter school, starting the week of Halloween in a 1st grade classroom. I got into another power struggle with a kid who drove another student out of my class with his wild, violent behavior. He eventually left the school mid year because his mother thought I was being unfair (and I found out he had joined our school right before I started because his regular public school had the same problems with him). My principal openly hated me, I had panic attacks, it just sucked. Now I'm on two new medications from that year for anxiety. This year, I got offered a job teac
When you precept experienced RNs do you start from the basics? I told her I was going to start at the beginning to make sure we have a solid foundation. Like our work flow, flushing and zeroing all your lines, checking your alarm limits immediately when you enter the room. Trying to make sure we have good habits in place. I also feel like I may be explaining too much pathophysiology to her, but I'm not sure. I'm an RN with >10 yr experience but don't normally precept. They give me a new grad every few years. Any advice on precepting a nurse coming from acute care to step down? submitted by /u/dopaminegtt [link] [comments]
This is going to be my second year teaching, and I’m expecting my first baby in February. When is an appropriate time to tell admin that you’re expecting? I’ll be about 16 weeks pregnant by the time school starts. I’m feeling a bit nervous about it as it is only my second year teaching and I still feel fairly new to the school, so I have no idea how to go about telling admin that I’m expecting. submitted by /u/Silver-Aside1647 [link] [comments]
I left my 4th grade teaching position in February and went over to higher education in administration work. I’m still getting use to it but it’s so boring.

Nurse with 1 year of experience, promoted to charge (yay!). but doesn’t feel like a yay because ever since I’ve been getting so much attitude from nurses my senior anytime I ask them about their patients or delegate responsibilities. I’m trying so hard to be a good charge and be helpful whenever I can. I’m also on the younger side compared to others on my unit. The worst attitude is from the unit secreties though, giving me shit about absolutely anything. I had the worst shift of my life yesterday, charge with 6 patients, people being combative, code stroke, etc.. Unit secretary decides to change the night shift assignment I made because she didn’t think it was right after I told her to change it back she goes I won’t you can do it yourself… so over this.. makes me not wanna be charge anymore. I never experienced the “eating your young” till I started charging. submitted by /u/olivebranch149 [link] [comments]
I work in a medical icu. I just hit a year and I feel burnt out. At first I attributed it to the newness of everything, learning definitely takes a lot of brain power and I was mentally exhausted but still optimistic. Now I am just anxious and irritable all the time. We are tripled every other day. I get really anxious before going to work. I’ve been looking into applying to other hospitals but my coworkers tell me it’s no use since it’s the same everywhere. Is that true? Our nurses get floated constantly to relieve others so we are left off with triples and short staffed. Makes me want to just quit bedside all together. I like the ICU but sometimes i feel i’m just surviving. submitted by /u/Independent_Bee7053 [link] [comments]
I've been working on a med-surg floor for 3 weeks. I tried to move up to 4 patients today. I went to do some peri care for my patient this afternoon. She had a small PE and declined her blood thinner this morning. She was super funky, and I was trying to teach her how to wipe properly. We got her linens changed, and I was about to change her gown. She got diaphoretic, and I thought her SOB was giving her a panic attack. I tried to calm her down and put her oxygen back on. I thought she was being really dramatic because she had been freaking out about coughing up a blood clot in sputum earlier and making really theatrical gagging noises. (Edit- my mentor advised me previously not to allow attention-seeking behavior to slow me down. I've been trying to figure out what that would be. I was confused about whether this counted because it seemed odd.) I called the nurse training me for her opinion. She had me take vitals. She seemed confused, too. I have a point I remember when I started to
I teach fifth grade, and I’m a pretty established teacher at the school. There was a boy who is considered a behavior on my roster, but then he was moved off of my list over over the summer, because he might not do well with another student on my roster. In the meantime, admin decided to switch a bigger behavior from one class and into mine without talking to me first. Now, the other teachers on my fifth grade team are making a fuss about having the original behavior who was originally in my class. Now I feel bad for the student because these teachers don’t want him/her in their class. So now I want to take him back, but I don’t wan to be too overwhelmed with the new behavior that was given to me. Admin is not exactly approachable and our registrar is nice to a point. Do I just take back the original, behavior and deal with having both, or do I deal with the colleagues complaining all year? submitted by /u/Ecstatic-Lead7992 [link] [comments]
I went in for a biopsy on my neck. I had cancer back in 2011 with a total thyroidextomy, followed by radio-iodine treatment. But it appears its come back. So I went to get a biopsy done, and I was feeling nervous. And to be quite frank, the cell collection was more painful than i remember despite the numbing agent. I think the nurse either saw how tense I was or just knew, but she just stroked my arm gently when the needle was jammed into my neck. It wasn't much, but enough to keep my mind from totaly focusing on the pain. I felt it was a very nice thing she did for me. I haven't had that type of care and concern in a long time from any medical professional. So where do you draw the line? What's do you consider patient care vs crossing the line? submitted by /u/belac4862 [link] [comments]
I am 2 months in on a step down unit. Everyone is super nice, they just have a big friend group formed already and they were all new grads at that same time. They all sit at nursing station and talk all night and of course my assignments are at end of hall. I’m just wondering if this is normal to be shy for a few months and not really sit and talk for a bit. i’m not sure how to break into the group or what i should do to make friends. it feels weird to just stand up there and try to chime in. or maybe im overthinking and it takes time submitted by /u/mbreezy_ [link] [comments]
Hello teachers, I recently started student teaching middle schoolers. My mentor is really great but I want some opinions and advice. So first of all, this is my first experience back in a school so take it for what it is. We have multiple periods where the kids are extremely obnoxious. They don’t have desks but tables that only adds to the chaos and we are already going to assign them different seating come Monday. However, there’s multiple kids in each period that genuinely don’t care about anything. The talking gets insanely loud every 2 minutes and I have to tell them to turn it down like 10 times per period. The second I yell, they go quiet, then they’ll start talking back up again. A couple walking on one side, a couple pushing our limits on the other side by blasting music from their computers, side comments every time we yell and just pure belligerence every time they respond. The ones that are extremely out of control I’ve taken them outside of the classroom but even then, they

For context: I teach grades 9–12 at a public high school in California. My school is implementing the new California phone ban law this upcoming school year. Students are allowed to use their phones during lunch and passing periods, but not during instructional time. My question is about the transition. During passing period, students often come into my classroom early, sit down, and immediately get on their phones. Then the bell rings, and I can already foresee some students staying on their phones, ignoring the bell, and me having to tell them to put them away before I can even start class. Do you enforce the no-phone rule as soon as students enter your classroom, even though it's technically still passing period? Or do you allow phones until the bell rings and then expect them to be put away immediately? I'm trying to figure out the smoothest routine before school starts. I'd love to hear what has worked in your high school (9–12), especially if you've had a phone ban in place for a

(Let me be clear at the outset that I am NOT including students who have a documented medical need or disability requiring these glasses.) What’s everyone planning to do about Meta glasses (or similar) in class? Without getting into an off-topic debate about Chromebooks and AI, my class is going to be as old-school as I can make it. Paper. Pens. Summatives based only on in-class work. For me, “AI” is going to stand for *Actual* Intelligence. What I’m concerned about is cheating. I’m pretty decent at spotting surreptitious phone use, like most of us, but the Meta glasses and their imitators are a problem, obviously because they look exactly like actual glasses. I can’t see a way to prohibit them without getting into trouble. Like if I say to some kid, “Take off your glasses during the test,” then they’re obviously going to claim that they need them to see and that it’s a medical need. (Note once more that I am *not* asking this of students with an actual medical need.) But let’s say I r

This is my first time posting here, and I just need some advice or maybe to hear from someone who has had a similar experience. I just finished my first round of student teaching at an early childhood education center. I felt pretty successful during my time there. I loved my co-teachers and the children, and overall I really enjoyed the experience. However, during my final evaluation I fell short in a couple of areas. We are graded on a scale of 0–4. On my first evaluation I scored mostly 1’s and 2’s, which I was told is completely normal. By my final evaluation I had improved to mostly 3’s and 4’s, with a couple of 2’s here and there. I know it’s normal to have areas where I can still improve, and I do agree with some of the 2’s I received. I think what I’m really struggling with is that I talked to the other student teacher I was placed with, and they scored all 3’s and 4’s with no 2’s at all. I always thought we were pretty even in terms of our teaching ability, so hearing that hon

So I am not a new nurse, have only been working 3 years and I switched jobs but have always worked surgical units on nights. When I was a new nurse, I was always hyper vigilant about every little symptom a patient would mention because CYA. As I became a little more experienced, I felt that I can use my judgement a little more to avoid unnecessary pages or secure chats overnight. Lately however, there are these two nurses at my job who are constantly nit picking me. I have several examples. 1) My patient had laparoscopic surgery. They originally said the pain was traveling from right side to left shoulder which typically happens when gas travels. At first they denied chest pain. Then after we walked and they still couldn’t pass gas (only burp) she mentioned it feeling like pressure in left chest. Now if I called a rapid for every time we had this after laparoscopic surgery, we would have a million. I messaged PA and we ordered EKG. I passed along to day shift nurse and she said I was n
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone has dealt with a similar situation and can give me some advice. I am currently a nursing student in Maryland. As part of my nursing program, I completed a Foundations course that allowed me to obtain my CNA-II certification. I received my CNA-II license after completing the course. The issue is that my CNA-II certification was only active for about 7 months due to the timing of when it was issued and my birth month (instead of the typical 2-year certification period). During that time, I was still in nursing school and did not have the opportunity to work as a CNA for the required 16 paid hours before my certification expired. I am now trying to renew/reactivate my CNA-II because I need an active certification for an upcoming job. On the Maryland Board of Nursing renewal application, it asks whether I have actively practiced as a nursing assistant for 16 hours within the last two years. Since I have not, I selected "No." It then asks whether I have retak

Title pretty well says it all. I've been a nurse over thirty years.And every time I open a vial, I realize, of course, that it is sterile, but out of habit, I still wipe it with alcohol before drawing something up.

I’ve been a nurse for 5 years and still have not mastered this. I’m most definitely an empath and can be “too nice” to patients and families who are blatantly rude and disrespectful to medical staff. What do I say to these examples? Please share what has worked for you guys: “You have one shot at this IV” or “no one ever has problems getting blood from me” after saying you miss an IV “What’s taking so long for the doctor? It’s been 2 hours” (in a packed ED) Or just families who roll their eyes at you while providing care and give insane amounts of attitude?

As the subject states, I’m a recent graduate with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. While I’m appreciative of the skills I’ve gained, I’ve ultimately decided that the therapy world isn’t an interest for me right now in a full-time capacity. The money is in private practice, and I am someone who prefers action. I received the opportunity to pursue another master’s for free and receive a stipend that could achieve a childhood dream of mine, but I want to have a plan in case it doesn’t work out… I’ve recently started orientation as an inpatient therapist in a PRN capacity, and so far, I am loving it. Nursing school has daunted me with the medical side of things, but I am curious about the role of nursing, what they do, and I am interested in maybe choosing this route if all else fails.

On Tuesday, July 21, a nursing home in Connecticut, US, was hit by a flash flood, and the electrical room filled with water. The residents were given 15 min: grab what you can, and we need to get you out. In less than 8 hours, nearly 60 residents were sent to different nursing homes. The staff, (including the administrator, who was praised by many other staff members!) Worked like an actual cohesive team. I feel like the DPH folks overseeing really saw how that place comes together for their residents. And the facility does not legally have to give staff a penny. Act of god, file for unemployment, so sorry. But this facility, which is anticipated being closed for 2 weeks, and losing revenue for 2 weeks, is paying their staff. They are paying everyone their regular salary/hours. There are some good places out there 💜💜 submitted by /u/Sadie26 [link] [comments]
I made a promise to myself after pouring my heart into a cute classroom in year three that I wouldn't dump any emotional and monetary or time effort into more than a basic classroom until I was sure I was staying. In year four, I moved to my current district. This is my fourth school in the district. I've had tenure for a while. I've just moved schools to better positions, trying to find my sweet spot. There were two schools in this district I considered my dream schools and last year I took a position in one of them. I gave it a year to see how I liked it. So, I've spent about $75 decorating my room. I have about $75 worth of things on my Amazon list that I'm hoping to get other people to buy. I spent about 2 hours so far painting and sprucing up my desk with wallpaper. I hit my storage unit looking for stuff I already own that would work for the dark academia vibe. But yeah... Looks like I'm putting in some effort into my room this year beyond some snarky classroom rules I printed ou
I’m an RN on an Inpatient Oncology floor, considered a step down unit in respect to the nursing supervisors that dump absolute car wrecks on us but not in terms of our staffing matrix. Lately it has been never ending shit shows. I’m running all shift, jotting notes on random scraps so I can remember what I need to chart after 8pm when I finally finish report and can actually sit. Don’t come for me for time management. I’ve got it. But I’ve got high standards for the care my patients get and I’ll stay as long as I need to ensure their comfort, safety, and dignity. Yesterday I had 5 patients throughout my 12 hour shift. One early discharge followed immediately by a stroke admit (yes we are required to be NIHSS certified so we can take fresh strokes just not fresh TNKs), followed with another discharge around 1700. One patient was a prostate CA with liver and bone mets that hadn’t eaten in two months because his nursing home just let him go without eating when he declined. Activated POA.
Hello everyone so I’m a first year teacher at a title I school and I am putting up bulletin boards and posters and such (yes I know about the anchor charts. Trust me there’s room. I am very intentional about that) but my school doesn’t have a color printer. I wasn’t sure how I was going to print the stuff I need for bulletin boards without buying a bunch of stuff from Amazon or getting a colored printer and Office Depot was going to charge me $130 to print what I wanted SO I went to the library. My library will print colored copies for 50 cents and I say this generally because I did some research. Most libraries in bigger areas (I’m in Little Rock) will do color printing for SUPER cheap. Also if you bring cardstock they’ll do it on that. I’m laminating mine so I don’t have a need to do it on cardstock but if you did it might be helpful. I’m not sure if this will help anyone but it helped me so I wanted to share because imo teachers need support like this. submitted by /u/Natology27272
📍Florida Hello, everyone! I am in my early twenties, back in university, and finishing up my last two years after taking a hiatus. As crazy as it sounds, I want to be a teacher. It has been a passion of mine for so long, yet I have been hesitant to fully commit the path after hearing so many horror stories. Last school year, I was substitute teaching almost full time. I gravitated toward upper elementary and middle school. The only downside was the lack of stability. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience to be in the classroom. It may sound cheesy, and I know it gets said a lot, but I cannot picture myself doing much else. It has always felt like something I am meant to do. I am looking for some positivity. I have many friends and colleagues from my other job who are teachers or work in education. While some absolutely love their jobs, others have urged me to choose a different path because they say it is not what it used to be. I am not naive to the challenges, but I am curio

I teach high school social studies on block scheduling (90 minute lessons, see each class every other day). My curriculum is garbage (written for high performing students when I have high schoolers who read at the fourth grade level), but I'm allowed to veer wildly off curriculum as long as the students take the county test once per quarter (and do reasonably well on it), basically teach the ideas but do it how I want. It's fairly lovely, if I'm honest. Last year I used folders that I bought and had students take Cornell notes most days. They wrote the summary from the previous lesson as their warm up. It was...fine. My department chair bought me folders so I can do the same this year, but now that I'm actually planning I wish I had notebooks instead, but this is what I asked for so no stress. What I'd love is some ideas for how to get students to take better notes rather than blindly writing down exactly what I say or ways to encourage them to engage with station activities more (they
I’ve been teaching for many years, and this is my 7th year back in the classroom after a many-year break. I’m an 8th grade math teacher. Overall, I have pretty good relationships with my students and am pretty well liked. However….. just about every year since I returned to teaching there are 1 or 2 students where there is a significant conflict — they act out, rage bait, and I fall for it. A power struggle ensues. Wash, rinse, and repeat all year. Parent contact doesn’t help. I know I’m not handling these students the best way, and I’m here humbly asking for your advice.

I am a PCT/ED tech not a nurse yet but I thought this may be a good place to ask. I don't like to say "Best of luck" or anything like that because a lot of the population I work with is really not going to get better. Also, stuff like "best of luck" doesnt sit right with me for some reason- luck already did them dirty. I am an atheist but I want something to say that captures the same sentiment as "I will pray for you" -- but HR approved and applicable to the masses. I am a very emotional person and I adore my patients, so they really are in the back of my mind always (thats probably something I should work on lol) l. I want a better way to say goodbye. Im moving to the ED soon though so maybe it will be less emotional investment than I have now, but I would still like ideas for appropriate send offs.

I just came this post in the sub reddit Parenting. Anyway. My response was basically. Read to him. And work on letter sounds. But if he goes into kindergarten already reading he will be bored. And either get in trouble, get busy work, or just not enjoy it. But it occurs to me. Isn’t this what we want? Helpful engaged parents? But do we??? How often do we get kinders that we have to reteach, how to write their name. Or how to make the letter sounds. My feeling is it is more important for a kid to be able to follow directions and participate in a task than for them to be able to read coming into kindergarten. So I thought I would come in here. I mean ideally we have all the students at the same is starting level. But there is always one or two kids that are just already so far ahead. We are practicing our letters and the are writing their whole name in perfect penmanship. We are dancing to a song about the alphabet and they are standing off to the side because to them this is little kid

Look over your report cards on [SIS] and email what you would like to see changed.” “Teachers, please respond to the email with your supply requests by the end of the week.” “Teachers, please respond by Friday to the email regarding volunteering for the welcome back carnival.“ It’s a private school so I know things are different but damn.

I'm mostly a lurker here because I work in ed tech and don't really enjoy talking about it for fun. HOWEVER. Because it is summertime in the US and many teachers wishing to be ex teachers are on the hunt for a new path, I thought I'd share this one VERY IMPORTANT piece of ed tech job search information, inspired by many questions in this sub. Ready? Just because an ed tech company is HIRING it does not mean that ed tech company is GROWING. I work in ed tech. For one of the larger, more well known companies. We are hiring like crazy right now. Not because we are growing; at best, we are stagnating and hanging on for dear life. No. We are hiring like crazy--across departments--because so many people quit this spring when they restructured AGAIN, cut pay and increased workload. So I beg of you--if you're a teacher looking to transition out of the classroom and you think you've found the solution? First--the solution is almost certainly NOT ed tech. I say this as someone on the inside. But

I've been doing Internal Travel out of state for 1.5 years and I'm at the point of my life where I want to look for a non-bedside role, settle down and have kids within a year. I'm debating on either going for my NP vs looking for a CDI/UR role (which is easier said than done). A recruiter from a large hospital system based in Central FL reached out to me regarding a permanent part time float pool position. They would have my base rate as $47/hr for having 9.5 years of experience as an RN, $7/hr float differential, $7/hr night shift differential and $1/hr weekend differential. The pros of this position is I wouldn't have to pay rent and I float between 3 hospitals which is the furthest hospital is 25-30 minutes away. Currently right now I make $76/hr including base and night shift differential (I make $82/hr working weekend nights).

I believe they are called a usb dongle lol I have a Promethean board, but I don't want to be stuck standing at the front of the room all period. I'd like to walk around, monitor students, and still be able to write out math problems and annotate slides from anywhere in the classroom. I dont want one where my only option is bluetooth, I feel like I always have issues with bluetooth. I dont want to get a whole tablet like an IPad just for school, plus they cost more. I'm talking about a graphics tablet/pen pad with a stylus. cheaper the better of course, dont get paid much, and school money won't cover the cost so its coming out of pocket submitted by /u/Sudden-Royal4854 [link] [comments]
Although it wasn’t at the time! Lol it was like 2am and I went to change out fluids and hang an antibiotic for a patient. The patient slept like a baby through the whole thing, and I was so proud to be able to do what I had to do without waking them…until 5 seconds later when the pump started screaming about “air in line” and would not stop until I messed with it and messed with it for the longest time. Of course the patient then woke up asking “what’s all that beeping??” I almost got away with it 😂 submitted by /u/Minimum-Possible-415 [link] [comments]
So for context I am a new grad in the ICU and i just recently got off orientation and i feel like i am struggling so much being on my own, mentally, especially after an extremely difficult shift the other night. For context, i graduated nursing school in december, passed my nclex in january and started working at a level 1 MICU in february. Since being on my own ive been having the worst preshift anxiety and i feel like compared to all my peers, i keep getting busier assignments. My manager scheduled me for 6 days in a row, the last 3 being my first 3 nights off orientation, and on my second night on my own i had a patient who was just admitted 20 minutes before the change of shift, my other patient had to be transferred and i got an admission. then another night i was on my own i got another admission, and then another night i got a patient who came in at the change of shift again. I feel like i cant catch a break and where im getting these super busy assignments, my peers haven't eve
