The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is issuing an order to repeal the color additive regulation that allows for the use of Orange B for coloring the casings or surfaces of frankfurters and sausages. We have determined that the authorized use of Orange B has been abandoned, and we have concluded that this color additive regulation is outdated and unnecessary. Therefore, FDA is revoking the authorized use in food of Orange B in the color additive regulations.

The Secretary of Education rescinds the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) Guidelines for Eliminating Discrimination and Denial of Services on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Sex, and Handicap in Vocational Education Programs (Guidelines). The Guidelines, first published in the Federal Register in 1979 and added to the Title VI regulations of the Department's predecessor, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), apply to recipients of Federal financial assistance, including State education agencies, that offer or administer vocational education or training programs. Following the establishment of the Department and HEW's successor, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Guidelines were transferred to both agencies and have remained substantively unchanged since they were first issued in 1979. The Department has determined that the Guidelines are no longer necessary due to significant changes in governing jurisprudence on what constitut

To keep it short, I stumbled into leadership. Took another job after being fired, was there about 6 months before a supervisor position popped up. I thought “what the hell, apply”. Got that, did well. Then moved up by taking a department director position elsewhere. I’m also doing very well there. Salary is good ($92k in Texas), but working M-F, plus all the calls when I’m off work. I used to clean the house, run errands, do projects, all that….now I don’t have the time. Work stress always comes home with me. And worst of all, I’m starting to think it’s causing problems between me and my husband. There are so many things I like about my job (obviously the ego of the position, I don’t ACTUALLY work as hard while I’m on site, lots of flexibility to be in later and leave earlier if needed, serving as a resource to others). However I kinda miss the 3 days of grind, come home without being disturbed, having the time off, and being able to leave work at work. I just don’t know if I just need
Our principal, assistant principal, PLC (the deputized third principal type), admin assistant to the principal, librarian, and registrar quit. The entire front office is new. Oh, and my position was eliminated, but I was moved into a different professional position in spring. We are a small gen ed (on paper) school, with both an under-70-iq self contained program and an emotional disturbance/behavior "self contained" program. The behavior kids last year were not just disruptive but dangerous, scary, and the district restrictions on how they can be handled hamstringed their entire program staff. We had an excess of ten broken plate glass windows. One gen ed class went through an active gun fire scare as a behavior kid outside broke their window out with rocks (district was there with admin, doing an eval, and watched it happen). We had multiple lockdown situations while police handled dangerous students in the hall. It was a hot mess. During my last conversation with principal she flat
I’m looking at the nursing program at my local community college, and I would love to be a nurse, but I’m freaking out about how I’m going to do it while also needing to work.

I’m in the last semester of my ADN program and for clinicals we have the opportunity to go down to the ED. The ED at this hospital is the only level 1 trauma center for 90 miles, so we get to see some pretty cool stuff. Before this semester, I have only been on med-surg units where there weren’t a lot of opportunities to practice skills besides catheters and med pass. First day in the ED, I put in 2 IVs, an OG, foley, and got to see a couple level 1 traumas. I’ve been 4 times now and today I messed up a lot. The nurse had to practically guide me into the vein for my only IV insertion. I didn’t push the vial of Zosyn in all the way and when I shook it, it exploded all over my face and in the pts bed. Had to be babysat through an in and out cath. Pushed an (empty) stretcher forcefully through the trauma bay doors because I couldn’t find the button to open the doors. I feel stupid after today and kind of scared to start my nursing job once I graduate. Are these mistakes and this feeling o

I’m a first year teacher so I’m in a few facebook groups for advice and ideas and it feels like every other post includes AI. Can’t just share their list of wanted supplies, everyone shares a Chat GPT-generated poster of themself in their classroom with the link. So many teachers give room tours with decorations they “created” with generative AI. Most recently, someone in one of the groups I’m in was talking about a poster they printed to cover their door. Instead of just uploading a picture of the poster, they generated a bunch of pictures of AI teachers standing outside AI classrooms with similar posters. Every single comment is asking for links/instructions/etc. I’m the only one whose first thought was “did we really need to waste a ton of water to create FAKE pictures of a poster you could have just taken a picture of?” I feel like I’m going crazy. I get that AI can be super helpful and I will absolutely admit I’ve used it before, I had over 200 chapter books and I sent the list to
After two years of working as an inpatient wound care nurse, I started in the ICU two weeks ago. Orienting as a new ICU nurse is challenging under the best of circumstances and I certainly didn’t do myself any favors by starting after two years away from traditional bedside nursing. Not only am I learning a bunch of new critical care stuff, I’m also having to remember how to do basic clinical skills, which after two years of disuse are rusty as hell. Here are some fun things that have happened over the last two weeks: Forgot all about “blue to the shoe” when priming plum pump tubing and went through multiple sets trying to figure out why it kept telling me cassette test failure. Was mixing effervescent potassium in a sample cup and for some stupid reason I put the lid on and shook it and it exploded and sprayed potassium water all over me and the floor. Was spiking a saline bag to prime the Belmont infuser and sprayed saline all over myself and the floor (this was in a learning environ
I am a new teacher. I'm 24 and female. I teach history for Year 12 and 13 (UK) and there's one student in my class who's always been a recluse. Quiet, polite, brilliant grades. He never causes problems, he just keeps to himself. He's shy, but very kind to me, making me small origami presents or drawings. Today, I was handing back essays at the end of the lesson when I dropped my pen. He picked it up before I could and handed it back to me. He looked at my hand for a moment and said, almost absent-mindedly, "I'm happy you're finally well rested again." I laughed awkwardly and asked what he meant, but he just looked confused and said he had to get to his next lesson before leaving. The thing is, I haven't been sleeping. Not for months. I lost my dad earlier this year and I've been lucky to get three or four hours a night most days. Last week was the first time in months I've started sleeping properly again. I don't wear makeup differently. I haven't told anybody at work. Nobody would kno
been teaching for a while and thinking about trying different ai presentation tools. some faculty use the zoomable canvas ones and students perk up but im wondering if thats just novelty. the zoom thing seems cool in theory. show the big picture then zoom into details but does that actually help students retain info? some of these ai presentation tools have ai built in too. generate decks from prompts or upload lesson plans. sounds useful for saving time but im suspicious of ai content quality. basically wondering if this style is worth learning or if i should stick with whats familiar. for people who use ai presentation tools do you see better engagement? submitted by /u/Sadd-Amra [link] [comments]
So I work at a hospital as a PNA ( psychiatric nurse assistant. I was on direct observation with a client . The patient was unscrewing a screw from the door and I did my best to verbally de escalate her into giving me the screw . I honestly didn’t know that in this case I could grab her hand / initiate contact to get the screw from the patient . I hit my badge but my badge was in my pocket and I found out later that’s why it didn’t go off . I called for help and the nurse came over to assist , she still refused to give up the screw . Other staff also came to assist me with getting the screw from her When security came and asked for the screw that’s when she swallowed it unfortunately . I had an interview with APS & patient relations about my mistake , I explained truthfully what happened. I also explained that I didn’t call for help when a staff walked by because I didn’t want to escalate her further , I wrote everything that happened on the investigation form as it happened I made a h
Okay so I’m working for a company of which I will not name. I have been getting paid 75% of my per visit rate because that is their training policy. Plus it’s being paid hourly until the “training period” is over. Okay, FINE. However, this training doesn’t feel like training. I’ve been seeing patients alone for about 3 weeks now. It started off mild about 2-4 patients a day. Now I have a full patient load BY MYSELF. Im managing my own patients and charting independently. How does this mean I’m still training?

I was asked to give a presentation about a program we piloted last year to a group of local funders. Cool, I love talking about this stuff and was already thinking about how we could expand with more money. I barely got through the intros before one of the funders (he calls himself "an amateur education expert" wth?) starts asking a bunch of questions about research supporting "this pedagogy." Come again? The rest of us are focusing on curriculum. I tried clarifying the difference but he kept going back to teacher practices. All morning. Several other folks started rolling their eyes every time he spoke. I'm generally pretty good at keeping groups focused but this guy was beyond. He clearly was not there to learn from the professionals in the room, he just wanted to wow us with his amateur education expertise. submitted by /u/HeftyHelium [link] [comments]
Hello everyone I am a first year teacher with a license in K-12 integrated Social Studies. I was recently hired by a local charter school in what I thought was a 5th grade social studies teacher role. During the hiring process the recruiter multiple times specifically said I was going to be in a 5th grade social studies role. But now only three weeks before the start of the school year they told me it was for 4th/5th grade general Ed.

It's approaching two weeks before school starts again and I am absolutely dreading it. I spent last year as a resident teacher and have committed 4 more years to my district. I know that teaching is not really what I plan to do for the rest of my life (but I am in a TRAP contract) and am choosing to ride it out. All things considered, I think that I am a decent teacher and I really want to make children's lives a better place through education. The problem is that I am starting at a new school. I know no one (I thought one of my friends would be teaching at this school but she left because the kids were too taxing on her mental health), I don't know the curriculum (AT ALL, despite reaching out to the school about it), and the principal is under investigation so currently admin is a mess so I can't actually get in touch with anyone. On top of that, my certification is still processing which means I am being paid substitute rates until ~October and I am not eligible for any reimbursement

Short post: I do not agree with communal bins in a classroom for shared supplies. Every student should use what they brought from home that their parents bought them. I, as a teacher, do not have the right to take what a parent buys for their child and give them to other students. Longer post: I am an elementary teacher going into my 28th year of teaching. I do send a supply list to my first grade families every year, and yes, I expect parents to buy some simple school supplies. There is a Dollar Tree a couple miles from my school, and there is no reason why a parent cannot pick up a few pencils, folders, and glue sticks from there. I’m not asking for hundreds of dollars worth of supplies. That being said, I do understand that buying school supplies can be a big expense to some families; therefore, they do not want the few supplies they buy to go into shared bins for everyone else. I fully support that each child uses what they bring from home, rather than everything going into communa

I'm in the middle of moving back to the U.S. from overseas and applying for teaching jobs, and I found a district application portal with 17 essay questions just to submit my application. Not "Tell us about yourself." I mean full-on educational and life philosophy prompts. "Describe the role relationships play in a classroom." "What role will classroom assessment play in instruction?" Buddy... I have three years in the classroom and a Master's in Special Education.

I TEACH my students how to take notes. I go over it extensively in class and even take notes”live notes” along with my students. I believe this is invaluable. But about half (yes HALF) of my students have an IEP that calls for me to share notes. I think this is bullshit by the way, especially if I am taking notes live in class myself. So what happens is that this half of students doesn’t feel the need to (rightfully so) to take notes. The other half just gets the notes from their friends who have the IEP. They don’t seem to understand that the note taking and the synthesis that goes with it IS the learning. So what do I do? Side note: we just seem to keep setting these kids up for failure. submitted by /u/AgeOfWorry0114 [link] [comments]
My school has asked me to create and teach a new AI elective for students aged 13–15, and I'm currently planning the curriculum from scratch. I'd like the course to focus on practical, useful AI skills rather than just the theory behind how AI works. My goal is to help students become confident, responsible users of AI and give them skills they'll actually use in school and later in life. For those of you who work in AI, education, or both: What topics do you think are essential for teenagers to learn? What practical AI skills will be the most valuable over the next 5–10 years? Are there any topics that are overhyped or not worth spending much time on? If you were designing a semester-long AI course, what would you definitely include?

A youngish pt, with a potentially life threatening diagnosis, recently asked me how many people I’ve seen die. They were clearly asking from a place of personal fear, and I didn’t want to give a flip or joking answer, so I said something about how COVID was a blur and I don’t really know. But I’ve been thinking about that interaction, and the question, and I guess I’ve never really thought about it. I’m not sure I even accurately could guess to the nearest fifty or hundred 🤷♂️ I don’t really have a question, and this is certainly not a contest, it’s just the way they asked me that somehow is nagging me.

I am working here in Ireland for 4 years now and thinking of moving to US for a change of environment and higher wages. I just want to ask, what’s the state of medical surgical patients in the US? Staff ratio : The place that I work has 1:7 nurse to patient ratio. Doesn’t depend on acuity but actually on the room numbers. So 1-7, 8-14 and so on. Doesn’t matter if all the sick patients are in your care as long as it’s within your patient assignment. 12 hours shift. 37.5 hours/week. Staff pull out is at the highest. Our ward has 23 beds and 4 staff nurses if we’re lucky but most of the time there are only 3 nurses and 1 hca on the floor. Patients : Here in Ireland they have universal healthcare access, so every admission is free. The cons would be that the waiting times for admission and bed availability is so long that patients end up staying in the ED for a few days before getting admitted in the ward. If the ward is full, they will put you in a corridor. Also, if the patient is gettin
Basically the title. What made me think if it and get irritated enough to post was a Gerry Brooks video outlining his own frustrations. There are three types of parents: I will buy NOTHING because the school should supply everything (but have nails done and the newest iPhone as well as the newest name brand clothing for kids). I actually get the point here, but the issue is that schools DON'T supply everything so some pencils, some paper, expo markers, and tissues would be appreciated (that is literally my list- those 4 things). I will put my child's name on EVERYTHING and refuse to allow ANY supplies to be communal. That's fine, but I'll be calling when those supplies run out for you to send more. Don't ask me to let your child share crayons from my communal supply. I just want my child to express him or herself (crazy folders, etc.). Listen Linda, teachers aren't trying to stifle your child. It's just easier if the red folders are for math and the blue for ELA. Feel free to get as cr

Hello! I am going into my 4th year teaching, but first year as a certified math teacher. I teach algebra and geometry at a low income school. I used the be a language support teacher in a math classroom, so I’m not going in with 0 experience, but would love advice. Language support was for an EL class with a lot of students coming to the US from outside countries for lots of reasons, but they often have huge difference in education which is what’s causing the gap I’m talking about below.

Kids can’t be expected to figure out how to simplify a fraction or factor quadratics by just trying different combinations on a calculator. So my question is how have yo
I lost my mom recently after her Parkinson's/dementia had been progressing over the year. I work on a neuro floor.. Not sure if I'm just worrying too much, but now I'm thinking if I should change jobs because I don't want to have to be reminded of my moms illness when I'm working. I've had patients who reminded me of my mom in the condition they were in. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Should I just wait it out, maybe it'll get better as I heal and I won't feel a type of way? I enjoyed my job, I was happy to care for my patients and didn't feel a way despite going home and seeing my mom in a similar state. But now it's different.. honestly feels a bit depressing just thinking about it. Just cope with it and continue to separate my personal life from my work life right?

I’m currently an LPN and I’m in school working toward my RN. Lately, balancing work and school has been really overwhelming. I truly enjoy being an LPN, and I know becoming an RN will open more doors for me, but I’ve been struggling with self-doubt and have even thought about taking a break from school. I guess I’m looking for some motivation from those of you who have already made it through. Was it worth pushing through the hard days? If you’re comfortable sharing, about how much do you take home each month after taxes as an RN (and what state/specialty do you work in)? I’m not becoming an RN just for the money! I genuinely love nursing …but I’d be lying if I said financial stability wasn’t a motivator too. I’m a single mom, and it helps to picture how my life could improve once I reach that goal.

I would like to get some advice on how to handle a situation…. For reference, I have ovarian cancer-without getting too deep into diagnosis- I taught January through May while starting chemotherapy.

The world doesn’t stop unfortunately and I don’t get familial financial support. A teacher at my school quit last minute. Administration approached me and asked me to take over her classes.

I feel like I see this kind of post all the time, but I'm halfway through second semester and I feel so behind all my clinical groupmates. My grades are pretty good and my clinical instructor evaluated me generously, but he's also super patient and nice. I've passed IVPB meds several times and I still can't do it without some intervention from my instructor/RN, but almost everyone else can do it effortlessly. I have so much trouble balancing my care plan, charting, med passes, and actual patient care. Even with the patient care, my soft skills just aren't where they need to be. I did peri-care on a patient and had to help them switch sides several times because I lost the clean diaper underneath them, and had to have a CNA help me out. I've studied how to do bed baths multiple times and asked CNAs in my cohort, but I'm still lacking in practice. I also feel like my clinical groupmates are able to forge such strong connections with their patients, while being on time for their charting.
On Wednesday I lost my teaching job for Chicago Publics Schools, and I feel completely lost, hopeless, and uncertain about any attempt to continue to be a teacher. I was a high school English teacher for almost four years at a public school in the city. I really felt like my job was secure, and I was entering my tenure year, so I was feeling really good about my position and personal confidence. The last few years have been so incredibly challenging for me between managing student behavior, lack of support from admin, lack of funds, constantly needing to reinvent the wheel, burnout, and often feeling inadequate. This past year I really felt like I was starting to get my footing, and I was mentally preparing to start the 2026/2027 school year with a new mindset: I am doing the best that I can with what I am given, and I am going to do even better than the previous years. I was basically trying to convince myself that I can get through another year, and that every new teacher feels this
This may be controversial, not sure how people on this thread feel about charters, but my principal came from a charter school which is fine, everyone starts somewhere BUT my issue with charter schools is the lack of educational background many teachers and staff have. In the past school year, there were several new hires throughout the year, and only one of them came from a non/charter background. My principal has really only hired teachers from charter backgrounds. It seems phishy to me… idk. I just don’t understand how a teacher from a charter school who isn’t licensed is more qualified than a licensed teacher who went to school for education? And now my school is filled with them. *EDIT* : you may disagree but I believe all charters are bad. Not all teachers in charters are bad, but I just can’t support them. And a lot of their teachers do lack experience, not all. When I say lack experience I’m not talking about years of teaching, I’m talking hours in the classroom, pedagogy, etc.

I received a Highly Effective evaluation from my principal last school year (25-26). I did everything I was asked to do, implemented the consultant-supported instructional framework. At first I was indignant about the extra work and the focus it pulled from core content instruction. Then I drank the kool aid. It was work way beyond the job description and it was the hardest year of my instructional career. I was recognized as a model classroom by my principal and district admins. After a restful summer I was ready to return to a really challenging turnaround school environment with the hope that is inspired by being validated in the quality of the work you do. Just found out my state level evaluation (based on my students’ data) is Unsatisfactory. I’ll likely be sent away to another school as a consequence. The irony is I won’t be replaced because no one wants to work at a school like mine. That’s how I got the job in the first place, replacing a certified teacher who wanted to be in t

I have a relationship with them or will I say it’s just for work they are very nice I don’t wanna seem Heartless and not sleepover because she can’t go out of town but dude I would still be working if I sleepover and he would disturb my sleep and I would not be in my comfy home and bed and that’s still working in some way 😭I help him out of his wheel chair to his bed and in the mornings out of his bed to his wheelchair and I deal with his fecus it’s hard working with him already on my regular shifts(I would not be doing this for overnights ) , he’s very nice but it’s work for me am I wrong for asking 50 per night ? submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Win-536 [link] [comments]
