I am entering my 20th year teaching middle school special education. I have taught all subjects and settings of special education, including severe and profound students in an out of district setting. For the past several years I have been my district’s middle school MD self contained teacher and I LOVE IT. All of my students are verbal and independent when it comes to toileting, hygiene, etc. Recently we had a student enroll who is nonverbal, cannot wash hands, will not open his own hand sanitizer bottle, drools constantly, hands in pants and nose, wipes boogers on desk. He was initially slated to be placed in our wonderful out of district school where they would provide him a communication device, with parent training and intense speech, OT, PT. Mom declined and insists he be in our local middle school. He is with me with me for ESY and my concern is - hygiene? Gloves? He will reach out and wipe saliva all over his aide. Am I being unrealistic in expecting my district to provide us w

https://www.wbez.org/education/chicago-school-board/2026/07/15/cps-will-cut-teachers-and-five-student-non-attendance-days-as-district-looks-to-close-budget-deficit This is so crazy, and they are planning to furlough teachers for 5 days a year when students aren’t there. These are planning days, PD days, and more. All requiring work with no pay and leading to a 2% salary cut. I’m currently pursuing my degree in math education, I always thought teaching of all things would be a more stable job. But with cuts like these happening across the country is that really true? Is pursuing a degree to teach worth it if I won’t be able to find a job? submitted by /u/Playful_Peak_6506 [link] [comments]
i’m currently mapping out a strategy for some of our digital training materials and the topic of content security keeps coming up. we’re trying to find a middle ground i know we can’t stop every single workaround, but we want to make it less casual for people to just copy/screenshot sensitive pages. i’ve been testing out tools like maipdf that restrict capture tools on the device, and i’m curious if anyone here has implemented similar "view-only" security for their own materials? do you find it actually works for your users, or does it end up being more of a friction point that just annoys everyone? submitted by /u/Fluffy-Celebration16 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone. I am not a nurse myself, but I wanted to ask about something going on. This morning my boyfriend who has been an ER trauma nurse for almost 16 years was forcefully admitted to a nearby psych ward because his crazy ex called the cops on him saying he was homicidal, suicidal, and violent. He was dragged out of his house in handcuffs this morning and dragged to the hospital to be evaluated. Very dramatic situation. I’m not too worried they’re gonna say anything about his evaluation, but I’m worried about his job and license. As I said, I am not in this field so I’m not sure on how it works, but he was telling me he could lose his job and even his license just for having been put there, even if the doctors clear him. Obviously that would be a big deal and ruin his career and he’s very worried about it, so I thought I’d come here to ask how likely is that really? We live here in Nashville TN, and I wouldn’t think as long as they clear him they could take his license away right?
I’m an instructor at a college and there are there is this one student that sat there for every lecture, fail the course then complain that I failed him. Well you didn’t submit any assignments and didn’t mention if you had a problem accessing them, and every end of the class I left 10 minutes open for students. Thing I don’t understand is you paid for this program. This is not a cheap program, it’s 10 grand. I probably could have pm him in teams, but I should not have to chase down students submitted by /u/Helpful_Dragonfruit8 [link] [comments]

I work on a med-surg floor and called a rapid on my pt the other day; it was her third in 24 hours. Not doing well, low BPs, acidotic, kidneys failing, boatload of comorbidities. Our DON happened to be up on the floor, so one of the nurses told her about it, so like maybe she could help facilitate transfer to ICU for this pt. She walked into the room during the rapid, looked around for about 30 seconds, then whispered something to my ANM and walked out. My ANM looked and me and said “she said your tubing isn’t labeled.” During the rapid still mind you. Pt didnt get transferred to ICU until the night shift team came in and they put her on ECMO.

I’ve worn makeup for my entire decades-long career, and lately I’ve found myself wondering if I just…want to stop. I’ve never worn much…just a little to look polished. But on the rare days I’ve forgotten, students inevitably ask if I’m tired or sick. It makes me wonder how much we’ve all been conditioned to see a made-up face as the “healthy” or “professional” version of a woman. When I was a much younger teacher, I think wearing makeup helped me look a little older and more authoritative. I don’t need that anymore. At the same time, I don’t want to come across like I’ve stopped taking care of myself. I’m curious where the line is between looking “put together” and simply looking like…my actual face. submitted by /u/BobcatKebab [link] [comments]
I'm a new kindergarten teacher, and one of my 5-year-old students looked at me and said, "You're fat." Then added, "My mom says you're fat at home," and started laughing. I just ignored it but honestly it hurt. What makes it harder is that I've actually been working really hard on myself. I used to be much heavier and I've managed to lose a few kilos. I work out regularly now because I'm trying to become healthier. So hearing that today made me feel like none of that progress matters. I'm also new to teaching, so I'm still learning how to handle situations like this. I wasn't sure if I should say something or just let it go, so I chose to ignore it. How do you stop it from getting under your skin? Right now I just feel embarrassed, angry, and sad. submitted by /u/mimsy_whimsyy [link] [comments]

I'm hoping to hear from anyone familiar with LAUSD or large public school district hiring. I first reached out to LAUSD on June 23 about a full-time elementary music teaching position. I was issued a Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP) and connected with the Arts Education Branch. Here's the timeline: - June 23: A coordinator called me the same day and has been very responsive throughout the process. - I emailed the hiring coordinator and program chair expressing my interest. I also mailed my résumé and cover letter via USPS in addition to emailing them. - The program chair has never responded to one of my emails. - June 29: I was invited to an in-person interview the following day, but I live in Florida and couldn't get to Los Angeles on one day's notice. I asked whether a Zoom interview was possible. - After that, communication became very sparse despite a few professional follow-ups. - The responsive coordinator later encouraged me to contact the hiring coordinator again and said he woul
I have a bizarre situation and desperately need some advice. I teach middle school ELA in Georgia, btw. I did not renew my contract at the end of last school year because the school (mostly admin) was very toxic and it was very far from my house. I was looking to teach in a different district, the one in which I live. I have been applying for countless (at least 30) jobs with almost no responses. However, on three separate occasions, after I've emailed the principal to let them know that I've applied via Frontline (applitrack), I've gotten a reply saying they cannot find my application on Frontline. I've provided the principal with my resume and my Frontline applicant ID#. They still can't find me, but they say they wanna move forward with an interview, based on my resume and experience, and we'll figure out the application issue down the road. HOWEVER, in each of these instances, the principal has emailed me again to basically say, "never mind, we had a charge of heart, we wanna cance

I write questions on a mini white board that my 8th grade students have to answer before they enter my classroom. This will be my third year doing this. Year 1 I lasted 8 weeks. Year 2 I made it through 3 quarters ( my intern did one of the quarters to equal four for the students). In my effort to build stamina, I want to make it through the whole year this year. Mostly the students like it or they warm up to it. Sometimes I have themes: would you be a superhero or a supervillain? What would your super power be? What is your kryptonite? What is your superhero/villain name? And that gets me through one week, cuz Monday is "What is one thing, besides sleep, that you did this weekend?" But even that gets boring. I really struggle with making these questions fun and interesting, but low stakes and little thought. I have 5 minutes to get kids into the room. A question that flopped is "What is one hill you will die on?" They didn't know what that meant. They all loved "If you were a dinosaur
For those of you familiar with Responsive Classroom’s Morning Meeting, you know that “through the repetition of many ordinary moments of respectful interaction, [Morning Meeting] enables some extraordinary moments” (Kriete and Davis 2016). The book describes one first grade teacher’s realization of this manifestation, as she was waiting for class to begin, and witnessed her students greeting each other unprompted, and cheering for something a student shared. If you use the Morning Meeting model published by Responsive Classroom, and have observed any of these extraordinary moments in your classroom, I would love to hear about them. :) submitted by /u/Beginning_Camera512 [link] [comments]

What would you guys do if you picked up a night shift LTC and a resident clogs their toilet with adult briefs, handfuls of rubber gloves, and toilet paper at 1 am, toilet’s overflowing and has half flooded the shared room, and you can’t even see a shut off valve to stop the water? So what I did was call the AIT and let them know what was going on. She says we should put the nightstand in front of the bathroom door. I tell her she’s not understanding what I’m telling her and I tell her maintenance needs to come in because I can’t see us fixing this issue on our own. She reluctantly says she’ll call him. So then he calls and asks me what’s going on and I tell him. He asks where the water is coming from and I tell him it’s overflowing from the top, but I think it’s flooding at the bottom too, I just couldn’t be sure because it’s all just flooded at this point. He’s clearly frustrated with my description and he says THAT’S NOT HOW TOILETS WORK. I didn’t really know what to say to that so I

Hey so I’m a new grad 3 months off orientation and had my first code today. Pt had been tachy 110-120s baseline and suddenly I get a call and they’re 40s. I know that’s just not right so I run in and just know something isn’t right. Immediately everything feels wrong. I book it out and ask someone else to assess and putting the pieces together I’m sure I either looked or sounded like a mess because I remember someone else call for the code cart (nobody had even been in yet) and about three people start running. At one point I hear someone ask about a pulse and I just feel so incompetent, I’m so bad at finding pulses, it takes me minutes to locate on a stable pt- and especially in an emergency situation I don’t trust myself. Someone else says no pulse, we call a code, honestly don’t remember what happened, but everyone else is getting stuff and I’m on the chest. But this has all been about 2 minutes, and they were just brady on the monitor, even when we started CPR. Thank goodness we go

hi all i got floated to the ER as an ICU nurse to handle ICU holds. i started off in the MICU as a new grad and only been in about 3 codes give or take. i had a patient (who was under MICU) code in the ED. they handed the patient off to me at 445pm after i had just transferred my other patients upstairs. the nurse who was caring for the patient told me why they came in and what the residents were doing (they were trying to put in an arterial line and central line). he was already intubated by the time the patient was handed off to me. so when the patient was handed off to me the o2 sats were in the freakin 70s even after intubation, HR up to the 160s and these residents are still trying to poke at this poor man to get an Aline in that they failed at like 5x but they wanted an accurate BP. theyre aware of this the whole time, the man is still awake and intubated, i was asking for sedation and no orders were being placed. they wanted me to start a heparin drip for a suspected PE so i did

So my district is yet again investing in a new gradebook system. It seems like every 3 years they got to Shell out money for something new that's far more complicated than the last one. Well, I was invited to go ahead and learn about the new system and how to teach it to the teachers on my campus once they come back from summer break. I got paid to do it, so I said okay. I had a lull in my vacation schedule and the extra money was going towards my daughter's birthday gift. So I did the 2 days of training which were tedious and very boring. On the second day of training, they are having us prepare our lessons on how we were going to teach the educators on our campus. It took me all of 5 minutes to come up with what I was going to do. After I was done, it was pointing out that I did not have a Icebreaker. I quite purposefully did not have an icebreaker. In my humble opinion, they are, for the most part, useless and a waste of time. So I told them that I was not going to do it. Icebreaker
Abstract Background: Medical students carry a disproportionate burden of mental health problems, but large multicentre studies from low- and middle-income countries remain scarce, and most evidence relies on single-institution samples and odds-ratio-based analyses that overstate associations for common outcomes. We provide a comprehensive epidemiological overview of mental health among medical students across an entire Brazilian state, quantifying the burden, its co-occurrence, and its socioeconomic and academic determinants. Methods: Cross-sectional online survey of 1,560 medical students covering all 20 medical schools in operation in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (August-December 2023). Validated instruments assessed depressive and anxiety symptoms (PHQ-4), suicidal ideation (PHQ-9 item 9), non-suicidal self-injury, burnout (ESB-eu), quality of life (EUROHIS-QOL-8), spirituality (SSRS), substance use (ASSIST), prescription stimulant misuse, and mistreatment during training.

In Competency-based medical education (CBME), longitudinal data is generated continuously. The judgments a Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) makes about trainee learning and performance are a valuable resource, supporting both resident and program development. Such data as well can enables the evaluation of rating quality and of CBME instruments such as Milestones and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) which can help address a gap in the CBME literature, where evidence on the performance of these instruments remains limited. Objective Routinely gathered CCC data of six cohorts in a four-training ACGME-I-accredited family medicine residency in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, was studied to describe growth trajectories, rating-system behavior, and the concurrent agreement of CBME instruments. As well as investigating the prospective predictive validity of two CBME instruments, EPA and Milestones, and the In-Training Exam (ITE). Methods The longitudinal CCC data for 80 residents a
Introduction: As healthcare systems increasingly shift toward prevention and community-based care, the demand for physicians in extramural specialties continues to grow. Yet, a mismatch persists between workforce needs and medical students career aspirations. Little is known about how medical students and trainees develop an interest in extramural specialties such as youth health care (YHC). This study explores trainees trajectories toward becoming a youth health care physician (YHCP). Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured online interviews with fourteen YHCPs in training. We combined an inductive and deductive approach, applying the person-environment (PE) fit framework to explore participants evolving experiences of fit and misfit. Results: Participants described growing misfit with clinical culture of medical school (i.e. the hidden curriculum), particularly during hospital-based clerkships, combined with limited exposure to YHC. For some, this misfit exten

The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Final Rule (Patient Safety Rule) authorizes AHRQ, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, to list as a patient safety organization (PSO) an entity that attests that it meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for listing. A PSO can be "delisted" by the Secretary if it is found to no longer meet the requirements of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act) and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO chooses to voluntarily relinquish its status as a PSO for any reason, or when a PSO's listing expires. The listing for Informed Patient Safety Organization (IPSO), PSO number P0252, a component entity of Informed Surgical, Inc. has expired, and AHRQ has delisted the PSO accordingly.
This proposed rule addresses: changes to the physician fee schedule (PFS); other changes to Medicare Part B payment policies to ensure that payment systems are updated to reflect changes in medical practice, relative value of services, and changes in the statute; codification of establishment of new policies for: the Medicare Prescription Drug Inflation Rebate Program under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; the Ambulatory Specialty Model; updates to drugs and biological products paid under Part B; Medicare Shared Savings Program requirements; updates to the Quality Payment Program; updates to policies for Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers; update to the Ambulance Fee Schedule regulations; codification of the Inflation Reduction Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 provisions; updates to Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule regulations; updates to the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program.

On May 28, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) guidance related to the "generic" clearance process. Generally, this is an expedited process by which agencies may obtain OMB's approval of collection of information requests that are "usually voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial collections," do not raise any substantive or policy issues, and do not require policy or methodological review. The process requires the submission of an overarching plan that defines the scope of the individual collections that would fall under its umbrella. On October 23, 2011, OMB approved our initial request to use the generic clearance process under control number 0938-1148 (CMS-10398).

I live in BC (Vancouver Island!). I just left my corporate banking career of 10 years because it made me feel so empty and like I was never contributing to anything meaningful. I’m 30 y/o, and looking for my next career move. Nursing has been quietly calling my name for a few years now, and on paper I think I’d be a great nurse. But every single person I talk with can only tell me “Don’t do it”. These are people I trust, but I also can’t help but to think “Well, maybe it’ll be different for me?”. So please, those of you who don’t regret going into nursing… who are you? Why do you think you love it? What do you love about it? What type of nursing do you do? Should I listen to those around me?
