I’m 38 years old and currently own a salon. I have 3 kids. I’ve been doing hair for about 20 years and have owned my salon for 6 years. I genuinely love the beauty industry, creativity, and the relationships I build with clients. However, my business has become unstable, high rent, inflation, customers become sensitive with pricing….and I’m worried about long-term financial security, retirement, neck and shoulders problem, and having a reliable income. I’m considering going back to school for nursing as a back up. I’ve already been accepted into an ADN program and will start in a month. My plan would be to become an RN and possibly continue to a BSN later. My reasons for considering nursing: • Stable career with benefits and retirement options • More predictable income • A career I can still do as I get older • A way to build financial security for my family But I have concerns: • I’m naturally introverted • I don’t love high-stress environments • I previously worked as a CNA and found
Halfway through nursing program & most clinical shifts this semester coming up are at Denver Health, Porter, Littleton, or Swedish (prior semester were up north or at LTC) Dreaming/thinking of future a little bit and need advice for looking at new grad programs. Would love Neuro ICU, but feel it’s too specific at first? I know everyone says avoid HCA (meditech + bad reputation), but what’s everyone’s advice/experience? Hear they have a new and great Neuro ICU / would that ever outweigh the cons of HCA itself and meditech? Or choose somewhere with a good new grad program on any adjacent floor/area and go specific later? Does Denver Health have a good new grad program? Aurora/Anschutz is too far of a commute - so sadly UCHealth is just not in the cards submitted by /u/Flashy-Scratch-234 [link] [comments]
What's up, Everyone, I'm a Black, 21M, from Louisiana, currently a college junior entering my first clinical semester in a BSN program. My plan is to direct commission after graduation—or start my packet while I'm still in school. My end goal is to become an ICU or PICU nurse, get several years of critical care experience, and eventually go to CRNA school. Right now I'm trying to decide between the: Air Force (my current first choice) Navy Army Some things that are important to me: ICU and critical care opportunities Quality of life Leadership and professional development Work-life balance Duty station options Deployments (I know they're part of the job, I'm just curious how they compare.) Graduate education opportunities (especially CRNA) Overall culture and how nurses are treated One thing I've been thinking about a lot is race. I've heard completely different things depending on who I talk to. For example, I heard former Navy SEAL Jake Zweig say something along the lines of, " If yo

I'm wondering what other teachers here do when the school has an all-day retreat with lunch provided, or other events with food (teacher appreciation lunches, for example). Celiac is covered by the ADA, which means places like colleges and places that lock you into their meals must provide gluten-free options, but is an all-day retreat where you have to stick around for lunch something I can reasonably expect to be accommodated at, or do I need to bring my own lunch to these events? submitted by /u/MordduH [link] [comments]

Right after COVID our hospital stopped requiring the ED nurses to call up to the floor and give report on patients. Their reasoning is that the ED nurses are “too busy” (response to the whole hospital from the ED department manager). I completely understand that the emergency room is an entirely different type of busy than the floor is, but it’s lead to so many problems and multiple sentinel events: patients being sent up just to be immediately sent to the ICU, patients arriving with no IVs, patients here for sepsis but their antibiotics or boluses were never given, patients with critically low potassium who code on arrival because it wasn’t replaced in the emergency room, dropping off an already deceased patient.. it’s a mess Just last week we had a patient sent up to our medsurg unit in four point restraints and completely unresponsive. Came up in the low 70s on 4L nasal cannula. No report given, no medical history, unsure why they’re in restraints or why the ED thought it was approp
Sorry, a vent post. New grad nurse, two months since I started and today just wore me out. I am fine with most skills (still trying to insert IV’s) itself but learning different ways to contact for different procedures, studies, some charting; , etc within hospital policy is still taking time and I feel like learning these things on the job and learning about the hospital is in a way slowing me down for patient care. I don’t want to do into too much detail because I am not sure who is lurking on here. I feel so much imposter syndrome, like everyone else knows how to call and who to call when something happens while I’m learning. I feel I am behind as a nurse two months in and I don’t know.

Hello! A few things before I start: - I am Brazilian with American Citizenship living in CA; - I have a bachelor in Portuguese/Linguistics with Portuguese and Latin studies, for teaching in Elementary School (called Letras in my language); - classroom experience in Brazil and have been working with children in the US last 5 years; - my Diploma is already evaluate and properly translated. I am lost and confused how to become a Kindergarten teacher in California. Honestly nothing makes sense in American universities website and structure on information. I’d love to hear if any Brazilians that graduate in Letras that became a teacher in the US, BUT mostly I would love to understand how to get that certification.

I've been teaching in the same district for about twenty years. Our head custodian retired last year and another long-time custodian was promoted to his position. My relationship with her has been okay, but she can be temperamental. An example: After a field trip, I had about 100 kids eating in the auditorium since we arrived after the cafeteria was done serving food for the day. This is normal practice for a late arrival field trip. In front of students and a couple other teachers / chaperones, she got in my face and pretty much yelled at me for not letting her know kids would be eating in the auditorium. I did sign out the space through the appropriate channels at our school, and I just didn't think to tell her directly. (I always make sure the kids clean up, and when there are a few bags or bottles left behind, I go through and pick up.) Another time, I need tables for an after school activity and she delivered them to their locations without a problem. So things aren't always bad b

So I just got my rosters for the new school year and boy am I in for a real ride. However, I am preparing myself to be the Strict, but Fair teacher For some massive context, last year was Year 1 for me. At the start, it went okay, few hiccups here and there but I managed. By the end of the year, all hell broke loose. There were several students who were just doing whatever the hell they wanted and threw a toddler tantrum when I attempted to uphold rules. Literally kids wouldn’t even ask to go to the bathroom. They would make the pass and go. Didn’t matter when. Lecture or no, they would up and go. Their response when I tried to talk to them about lines and taking over 20 minutes, were “well I had to go, you can’t punish me for that”. Phones were also a massive problem last year. Kids with the mentality of “it’s my property, you can’t take it”. Also kids weaponising their IEP/Accommodations. They were so strong headed that I just relented to avoid the headache. So… what’s different with

I feel like I can't get clean. Doc did a bedside bronch today. Asked me to come in to push some extra sedation so I'm at the side of the bed doing so. I guess maybe the patient coughed and doc reflexively pointed everything away from himself (despite being in full PPE whereas I just have my gloves because the patient was in significant distress and needed the meds ASAP). Bloody lung juice splashed my face and arms. Probably my chest too but at least I didn't feel it through my scrubs. Then the doc says "Watch out." Like he isn't the one pointing the thing at me. Y'all I almost lost my job the things I wanted to say. Barely managed to keep my composure long enough to finish pushing the med and get out of the room to scrub down. I've showered and washed my face multiple times but still feel like its on me😭 At least the residents assisting him were so sweet afterwards and checked on me to make sure I was okay. submitted by /u/Meghaslotsofquestion [link] [comments]
I got my teaching credential in 2024, and for the last two years I've been subbing. Last year I only got one interview, in October. But I also landed a long-term sub position at a school I knew well and the teacher I was replacing reached out to me specifically. I really thought this was going to be my big break. It felt like everything was finally lining up. It didn't work out. Now school starts in two weeks, I've applied to every district I can, and I've heard nothing. I've called principals, sent emails, introduced myself when subbing at schools I liked. No movement. And I'm stressed about my induction timeline: I have five years to complete it, and this upcoming year is year three. So I still have years four and five, technically. But I'm living at home, I'm ready for a full-time job, and I don't want to wait another two years to get one. The worst part is the recommendation letter I never got.

I just quit and took a new position in another district. I was hired to fix social studies scores for a school that has been last or second to last in the subject for 15 straight years. The first thing that happens is that I don’t have a classroom. Despite having to worry about the state test, the electives and everyone had a room But me. My class loads were double the size of my colleagues. No sped or eb supports for social studies. I told the administration and the campus about the problems and they just told me they liked my teaching so much that they knew I was going to be a success. That every history teacher before me was an idiot and that I knew my stuff, so they weren’t worried. I kept repeating if we don’t fix the structural issues, we’re going to have the same results. Either way, the results came and they were the same as always. Suddenly, my teaching was always flawed and they knew it. It wasn’t relevant. I didn’t do this or that. And I told admin maybe after 15 years and 1
My hospital has amazing tuition reimbursement for nurses to get their MSN or a Master's in a healthcare-related field. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to take advantage of the benefit. To be honest, if I could be a bedside nurse forever, I would want to do that -- but I know the risk of physical injury is high in our field, and I worry that I should have a backup plan/path if I ever end up unable to do bedside. As the post title implies, I'm not interested at all at becoming an NP. I'm currently not interested in leadership or becoming an educator. I do enjoy data analysis, so informatics seems tempting, but with the advent and continuous refinement and advancement of AI, I worry about how the field will survive (please note I have not done any research on this; if I'm completely wrong, please share why I shouldn't worry). My questions are thus: Considering I would have to pay very little if not anything to obtain an MSN, should I get one for a "just in case" scenario? Or to
I’m really bummed out because a month ago I had talked to a principal of a small private elementary school, she said they were going to open an art teacher position for this school year . She saw my application and resume and said someone will contact me for an interview.No one reached out to me and I called the number she personally gave me to call if I had any questions, I called that number several times and it would go straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail and no one got back to me. So I tried a different phone number listed on their website and a lady answered and I asked if there is any openings for art teacher and she said no , not at the moment. I’m feeling very depressed because the principal really gave me such false hope. I just saw on their facebook they were having parent meet the teacher next week. So I’m thinking they probably hired someone else or they will open the position next year . I’m applying everywhere else as teacher aide but I just really wanted a shot at
In my first three hiring seasons searching for my first admin role I have noticed the position I most often get an interview for is "Dean". While I know this title has been around for a long time, I never noticed it in public schools until very recently. From my understanding of the job descriptions I have read for these positions they basically seem to be all the stuff the Principal and AP don't want to do for pay that is barely above my teacher salary. Is "Dean" the new way districts low-ball first time admin seeking that magical "experience" everyone seems to want without giving you a chance?

Second year teacher, 24F. Still working through completely certification, just need to take my PPR. Last year, I had some trouble connecting with most students. I would really try my best, but I think maybe I’m autistic (not a joke). My humor can be very dry and sarcastic at times so it can be hard to tell when I’m joking (sometimes I do this on purpose bc it makes the joke funnier, to me). I’m going to try a different approach this year because trying to connect through humor did not seem to help. When I asked admin for advice, they said “greet them at your door” (I teach high school and there have been instances kids steal tests or answers or assignments or just get into teachers desks. I’m not standing at the door. I would lock them up, but nobody has keys to the cabinets that lock in the classroom. We put materials in a file cabinet in a separate locked room. But I’m sometimes in the process of grading, or tests have just been taken, so they are hidden in my desk) I’m getting on so
How do you as a nurse combat the afternoon slump? Biologically humans are programmed to feel tired from 1-3pm and 2-4am. This is around 7 hours into the shift, both for day and night shift. How do you combat the drop in energy levels apart from chugging that daily monster energy drink or Celsius or Starbucks drink? I was watching a YouTube video about this as I deal with this slump. Most of the suggestions are for people who can take power naps or additional rest or outdoor breaks during the slump hours. Like most, I only get one 30 minute rest breaks during my 12 + hour shift (during which I need to eat). submitted by /u/Realistic-Song3857 [link] [comments]

Hi So I got my preliminary last year in California and got hired into the district as a temporary teacher. I taught 8 years before in charter schools. I a great teaching year but not so much with staff. There was no room left for me to return to a classroom so I had to go to matter what. I didn’t find out until after the school year that the principal said although he’s a great teacher I wouldn’t rehire due to temperament. The Union mention that if I was told this before the school year ended they could have helped but now there’s nothing to do. The school district says I can remain “in the substitute pool”, but the Union says everyone who I would want to put me in a permanent position can see the principle said not to rehire. I spoke to the old principle and they said they be willing to speak or email anyone in the district about her honest opinion. I’m afraid now I can’t work in the city’s school district and have to move away. Which I don’t want to do but I feel lost and hopeless. s
I’ve been a nurse for 14 years and worked a variety of jobs including med surge, ER, and PACU. Right now I’m working at an outpatient surgery center that specializes in Ortho cases. Today we had a patient emergency and I was the one who found the patient symptomatic. The patient grew worse quickly and we ended up having to transfer them to the emergency room. The patient is stable there and there were no bad outcomes, but I felt completely unprepared during the emergency. My coworkers tell me I was calm and did a great job, but I actually didn’t do much besides grab a pump, lipid emulsion, and hit the code bell. My mind was a blank the entire time. I could not think about what I needed to be doing. I did not assign jobs during the code or record or lead the team even though I was charge today and found the patient. I find this has been happening a lot lately, which is frustrating as I worked in ER and hospital PACU prior to being outpatient. I take acls and pals every 2 years but if yo

I read up on the Mississippi changes to education. I find it interesting that they hold kids back at third grade. I teach 6th grade ELA and I see so many kids come into my class with very low reading scores. Honestly, by the time they get to middle school, a lot of bad outcomes are far more likely to occur. The number of kids who come back from a second grade reading level in sixth grade is very few. They get put in my classroom with very little in the way of support. I had a student who was basically illiterate. He could sound out words if you worked with him, but he wasn't able to read anything on his own. We tried to discuss things with admin and reading interventionists, but they rarely had any applicable suggestions. One on One, sentence stems, para support, and other accommodations are useful, but he doesn't know his letter sounds. When he looks at an article, it's like reading a foreign language you never really learned. You can get by, but it's not easy and you have to do a lot

Something I've always stood by that I am not seeing posted anywhere is start singing now new teachers. In the car, in the shower, when and where you can. Start weeks before school starts because you need to train your vocal cords to get used to the amount of talking and projecting that you are going to be doing once school starts. Without it, I always end up with a sore throat by the end of the first week. Edit: I will add, as others have pointed out-a mic and speaker setup is a great option for many people. I personally do not use them, but even with one the amount of speaking you do in the first week after a summer off will wear your throat out. Others have also suggested watching some voice training videos online to better train the voice for speaking-a very good suggestion as well. Finally-learn the difference between projecting your voice and yelling-it will save you a lot of vocal strain. Anybody else have uncommon advice for new teachers? Edit: goodness-so many responses!

Tonight I randomly thought about my elementary school teacher and decided to look her up online. I wasn’t expecting anything, maybe an old school page or a picture, but instead I found her obituary. She had passed away a month ago, and somehow I’m only finding out now. It completely broke me. I’m lying in bed crying over someone I haven’t seen in years, and it feels strange because I didn’t expect something like this to hit me so hard. I think it made me realize just how much of an impact teachers have on us. They spend years helping shape who we become, encouraging us, teaching us, making us feel safe, and being there during such an important part of our childhood. As kids, you never think your teachers will get older or that one day they’ll be gone. You just assume they’ll always be there. Then years later you randomly search their name and find out they’ve passed away. I wish I had known sooner so I could’ve paid my respects. It’s also making me think about how fast time is moving.

Hi! I’m an Australian nursing student from Victoria and I was wondering if many Australian (or not) nurses here genuinely use AI in their practice? Our tutors are very promotional when it comes to AI and as a young person it makes me and many of my peers concerned for the future of nursing (and ethics and the environment in general). One of my tutors (who also practices) literally said when she didn’t know the answer to something she would ask Google AI. Also, I met a Charge Nurse while on holidays and I asked her how much she used AI and she mentioned that she never uses it and neither do many of her nurses. She also mentioned the standard for the nurses she’s been receiving has been really low and I quote “that might be why I’ve been getting so many sh*t nurses” (in relation to the AI conversation). I’m a bit worried that my practice is going to be negatively affected by what my university is enforcing regarded AI (not to mention the quality of the education itself being so much wors

Hi Teachers, Going through school I always enjoyed the pizza parties/celebrations/ice cream days, etc. And now that I have a little one going to school I’m excited for her to have that experience too. I know teachers are oftentimes saddled with paying out of pocket for some or all of these if Admin isn’t kicking back to cover the costs for these, with many using them as a reward for goals achieved, and milestones met. My question: is it typically OK for a parent to occasionally sponsor one of these events? I don’t have a ton, but could definitely justify shelling out $100-$150 for a classroom party every few months, even if just to allow them more frequently or prevent them from not happening at all. I’d even be open to covering the cost of a field trip for the class, or any of the kids who couldn’t come up with the funds, as I was that kid and am thankfully in a different position as an adult. I could cover my daughter’s class, but likely couldn’t do the full grade level. I don’t want
Hello! I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but I think it may be a good idea to start here. Around this time last year, I accepted a job at a robotics EdTech startup called Moonpreneur. My job was to run in-person robotics workshops for them, for kids.
