I am a pretty experienced teacher and focus my classroom management around building relationships which has worked well for me overall. This past year I got a new role as an interventionist, and sometimes had to skip my intervention groups to sub in a classroom. This is where I ran into problems because I didn’t have relationships with the kids. I am a short woman, and am naturally a very kind and nurturing person. I have a calm, quiet voice and the moment the kids see me coming in to sub they think they can get away with anything. I don’t let them and am strict about rule following, but I’d like to develop an air of…toughness. Like an “I don’t play” vibe. How do I do this? I have a coworker who subs frequently too and it goes much better for her just because she has this kind of toughness about her. I often use games and stickers to help us get through the day, but I’d like things to go better this coming year when I have to sub. Any advice? Thanks! submitted by /u/mschanandlerbong29

Hey everyone I took my MTTC 103 today for the first time and did not pass. I won’t know my results until August 14 I think. I am very disappointed in myself because I took the time to study and I know I’m not a good test taker but that was nothing like the practice exam I took except half the questions and the other half I really don’t understand where they got them from. I got questions about number binary and whatnot and I never learned that when I was a kid or in college! I’m really frustrated I spent money on study dot com and that was not helpful. The study guide was also very different. I don’t know. What’s everyone’s advice? I can take it again in a month but I know it’s getting phased out so I might do 117-120 sooner. submitted by /u/maridoll666 [link] [comments]

Currently I’m working as both an LPN doing home hospice and a CNA at a hospital but the only reason I’m holding on to the CNA job is so I have a guaranteed job in the hospital as an RN once I graduate. After a few weeks working as an LPN I’m actually liking it a lot more than being a CNA and I’m getting about $6 more/hour. I rather pick up hours as an LPN than a CNA where I’m committed to work 8 hours a week. I’m always burnt out after working a CNA shift. It’s so physically taxing compared to being an LPN. I’m just not thrilled doing CNA work anymore. Is it really worth holding onto the CNA job if the only objective is for job security in the hospital as an RN? To be honest when I become an RN, I don’t even think I’d want to stay at this hospital due its low pay. So I’m thinking what’s the point in holding onto this position. submitted by /u/PinoMachino [link] [comments]
I know I can't be the only student nurse ever to do this, and I'm trying to get in the habit of keeping my hands clasped together or shut. I'm in the early days of my course, but I'm already pretty conscious on contamination from hospitality training (I.e touching hair, face etc-) and we've been going through infection prevention/control. I'm always instinctively clenching, rubbing and rolling my hands. Or touching my neck, shoulder in similar odd motions. Moving something all the time has been a habit since forever albeit I know is very annoying to people, and I need to try and keep movement contained to be wary of my body and surroundings. I've had it noted in the past by psychs offhandedly about it just being a (diagnosed) cptsd self-soothing thing of repetition. Or past conversations around a possibility of autism. I'm just wondering on if there are any more discreet alternatives to try and mold the habit into a different shape these next few months before placements? submitted by

Fellow EL Coordinators or EL teachers - how do your schools schedule your ELs? Our school has overhauled our EL scheduling and it’s a mess right now, two business days from teachers returning and a week and a half from kids returning. A little over a third of our large urban high school are active ELs, and we have around 50 students who have less than three school years in the country (high immigrant neighborhood). Most EL classes, both ESOL/ELD and EL-specific cores, are wide mixes from students with the highest language needs (WIDA 1.0, words and phrases) to almost exiting the program (4.6). As an EL-specific core teacher, this seems insane . Previously, they were leveled - I taught the mid-levels (high 2s to mid 4s) and another teacher taught the lower proficiency students (1s and 2s, mostly newcomers). What does your school do? submitted by /u/mrsyanke [link] [comments]
I was an LPN was 10 years and just became an RN this pass May. I got a job as a cath Lab nurse since I love the heart. I knew it would be hard to learn and was ready for the challenge. I do 4 10s and love the pacing of it. My co-workers are are mostly travelers even my Preceptor is a traveler. Today I was pulled into the mangers office and was basically told that after 60 days I should be doing better then where I'm at and should be more independent by now (origination is 90 days) . I was blind sided by this and was basically told that my manger has heard not so nice things about me from my co-workers and a part of me thinks that because I don't really connect with them very much they just don't want me there. I got put on an action plan and in the next 6 weeks I have to be able to fly solo I think I can do it but I think even if I do there is just gonna be another reason to fire me and nothing I can really do will fix this. So should I just get a new job Some other important points ma

10+ years experienced RN here… Quickly after starting at an outpatient rheumatology clinic I noticed the culture is to work through your lunch, take a short lunch, or even skip your lunch to keep the schedule running…I notice nurses also stay after work, handle a lot of admin stuff for future appointments, carry out “routine orders” with only a verbal communication, sometimes said orders are written out but not signed by an MD (I guess they eventually get around to it?), communication between shifts are also so unorganized that RNs write memos out on paper and just place them over the face sheet in the paper chart! This is meant to functions as a hand off report for you to base your eval and treatment?! They most concerning thing is that staff rushes like there’s no tomorrow. I have worked ICU and the way these people are rushing you’d think it was something really acute but they’re just trying to not fall behind schedule. I had to move to a new city so took this job as it seemed like
context i work as a housekeeper in 3 different clinical offices. when i first started i had at LEAST 2 full big bags of trash at the end of the night to take to the dump. Now im having like one? 3/4th of one? and the trash in each exam room is just less, a pair of gloves here or a bed cover there. I havent even replaced a needle box in months. Two of the clinics also only see patients on certain days (like 2 times a week based on trash pickup) Is there a reason for the decline? Are people just not coming to the doctors as often? how is this affecting nursing, cause I also feel like im noticing some of the nurses stations in my clinics are set up like someone works there and the next day their stuff is gone. im curious if you all think i am at risk of these offices closing? submitted by /u/finnabiar [link] [comments]

I’m about three months into a new clinic job and the doctor I work for has a reputation for being a jerk. Recently he’s been asking me how long I will be staying and made a bet I quit at six months…. I usually just respond with I will just keep you guessing and laugh it off but today it hurt… we had a meeting with the rest of the team and in front of them he made several comments at my expense of being new and again brought up his bet of six months. I just kind of looked around and smiled and then left and cried in front of these other nurses not part of my team…. I’m not sure how to react anymore… I want it to stop but don’t want to confront him or escalate things. I really like my new job otherwise and want to make it work despite the stress of learning new things. I think this hurt more because it was in front of people outside of our team, everyone reassured me that he actually likes me and thinks he is being funny… but this is tiring… how do I respond? Kind of adding to my feeling
I’m a teacher with a toddler who is very active. We have such little paid time in the classroom to prepare and his daycare doesn’t begin until my contract officially resumes.

I have an interview next week for a new grad RN at a smaller hospital. I have to go to Europe (for 3 weeks) in December to see my grandmother whose health is declining, and they’re afraid she has 8-12 months to live. Do I let them know about my prior arrangements during the interview or if/when they offer me a job? I’m hoping that if I start in August it would give them a 4 months heads up. Mind you this hospital does not have a formal nurse residency, so I dont have classes to go to every month. I might be overthinking everything..but jobs have been so hard to get around my area.

Introduction: Academic health centers have invested in academies and related structures to promote health professions education (HPE) scholarship, yet many struggle to sustain vibrant scholarly communities. We aimed to identify lessons for building and sustaining scholarly communities that support HPE scholarship. Methods: Using a constructivist approach, we conducted a qualitative interview study in 2025 with leaders from across all four geographic regions of the U.S. Inclusion criteria required that participants direct an academy or other institutional structure intended to promote educational scholarship, and that they could speak to building and sustaining scholarly communities of practice in their local context. The Communities of Practice framework informed interview guide development and data interpretation. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, de-identified, and analyzed using a six-phase thematic analysis process. Results: Twenty-one academy leaders described five inte

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring Francis Esteban Matos for a period of 5 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Matos was convicted of a felony under Federal law. The factual basis supporting Mr. Matos's conviction, as described below, is conduct relating to the importation into the United States of a drug or controlled substance. Mr. Matos was given notice of the proposed debarment and was given an opportunity to request a hearing to show why he should not be debarred. As of May 18, 2026 (more than 30 days after receipt of the notice), Mr. Matos had not responded. Mr. Matos's failure to respond and request a hearing constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this matter.

Since April I’ve been routinely checking Seattle, Highline, Tukwila, Renton, Kent, Federal Way, and Auburn. There’s nothing. I’ve heard rumors that August is the new status quo for external hires (not April or May anymore). I’m a first year teacher - hopeful.

The manager told me that the recruiter will contact me to set a date for a shadow the unit. The recruiter called me the next day (yesterday). We set the date and that was it. This evening about 40 minutes ago, I got an email saying the position has been filled. I’m so confused. I don’t want to panic. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know?

I recently got into the world of oncology and actually like it! Started last year and looking to continue down that path until I graduate from grad school. Recently applied to a PT position for inpatient oncology at a hospital very close to me. I shadowed on the floor as part of my in person interview. It’s a 10 bed unit with a mixed population of Onc, gender affirmation and K pouch patients. Cool not a problem. I find out on the same day that I would also be cross training to their sister unit which is a “40” bed unit of surgical patients (it’s actually 48. Didn’t find out until 2 days into orientation).

Not only will I be on the med/surg floor, I’ll be there for the
Hey All! I recently posted that I had an interview on a Saturday. But if I hadn’t heard back by now I assume I didn’t get the job. I was teaching 6th grade math but was dropped due to budget cuts (I’m in Florida). At least that was the official reason. I have had plenty of interviews including one at a new charter school opening up. I actually was asked to return for a second interview! I would prefer to be in the public school system over a charter school but right now I just want a job. It stinks that I and many are in this position due to budget cuts. My old school recently posted my old job and I did apply. But I doubt I’ll get it. If they wanted me they would have found a way to keep me. They also have my info to contact me.

I’m going into level 2 of nursing school. I was looking forward to my career as a nurse but the more I read of how little people make makes me question things. For example, I am a service leader at chipotle making $21/hr. I have already been offered assistant gm position which can average around 50-60k. It wouldnt be long after that position that a Gm position would arise and those can range between 70-100k. Due to school I’ve turned down the promotion. My point is, what’s the point of working such a seemingly grueling and unrewarding job like nursing where people make just as much as chipotle management? A job I’ve come to be very good at and find easy? It now makes me realize why people say nurses should be paid more because they are doing more valuable work. submitted by /u/JumpDouble2247 [link] [comments]
