Hey all, A little about me. I have taught AP Chemistry for a few years and have struggled teaching AP at times and getting kids to pass. I just wanted to put some reminders out about AP scores. Some people stress about them but keep in mind the following: It takes several years to become a good teacher. It takes several years of teaching an AP class to get good at teaching an AP class. You need time to try things out and change things based on your students. So if it is your first year or even second year teaching an AP class, don't worry so much. Try and improve. Student population matters a ton. There are some teachers that boast about getting so many 4's and 5's but they teach in an affluent district where kids really care about performing well and can afford 1 on 1 tutors. Variance occurs from year to year. I have had years where not a lot of students take the test and I have had years where I only have a few kids pass and I can usually identify that pretty early in the year. Don't

So I’ve never resigned after putting in my intent to return. I was offered a job the other day and am needing to send a resignation email. I have a few days to send it. I want to resign on decent terms. I’m unsure who to email other than the building principal. Should I text the principal first to thank them and explain my reason for leaving and then still send a formal email? I have no idea how to go about this. In the resignation email, do I mention what district I’ll be going to? Any tips are appreciated! submitted by /u/Otherwise-Set-4444 [link] [comments]
Teachers who have been through a formal complaint—I’d really appreciate hearing your story. I'm finding the whole experience incredibly draining, and one thing I'm struggling with is the fear of what comes afterward. If you've been through a complaint, did you ever worry about retaliation from the student or parent, or that you'd always be looking over your shoulder waiting for the next complaint? Did those fears turn out to be justified, or did they ease with time? I'd also love to hear how the process unfolded, how long it took, what the outcome was, and how you managed to move forward afterward. Whether the complaint was substantiated, dismissed, or found to be unsubstantiated, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing your experience. I think there are probably a lot of teachers carrying this anxiety quietly, and hearing from people who've come out the other side would mean a lot. submitted by /u/Spirited_Moose_6472 [link] [comments]
Hello! I'm looking for input from fellow teachers who have had to leave their classroom in the middle of the year. I'm a certified public school Integrated Pre-K teacher who is also currently 26 weeks pregnant. I am on a few childcare waiting lists for my little one to start daycare in January (due in October). However, after checking in with the care centers today, my confidence in being able to get a spot at any of them for January is shaken. Apparently most of their spots (even for their infant and toddler rooms) open in June or September, and as time goes on they seem less sure that I'll have a spot for January. We don't have family nearby that can take care of her until daycare can be lined up, so the only other option would be I stay home with her. I already told admin that I intend on returning to my classroom after maternity leave. I personally wouldn't be too upset about needing to stay home and enjoy my baby, but professionally I'm nervous about the idea and unsure of what co
Hi! I am a nurse with 13 years experience in many different specialties. I was offered a position working as a high school nurse and am wanting some insight! I have done school nursing; but only for elementary! I know the pay cut is a huge difference in many regions compared to other nursing specialties, but it’s the schedule along w holidays/time off that makes up for the pay to be on a similar schedule to my kids. I basically am wanting any feedback or input on what it’s like being a high school nurse! Any and all input is welcomed! A day in the life, things to expect, what ill commonly run into, immunizations/physicals and other needed medical documents I will be needing to organize, collect ect , questions to be sure to ask and clear w the district related to protocol/ my schedule/ my pay? Like I said; ANY AND ALL input is appreciated! 🤗 submitted by /u/fukouttahere0 [link] [comments]
I have applied to four pediatric jobs office jobs. I emailed three of them. Two of them have denied me. I called the 3rd one today, to see if I could request an interview. For context, I am a current LPN, in an LPN-RN bridge program. In our career development class, we were literally told that doing this can help us get noticed. The HR lady was like, “that’s not how this works, if we feel you’re a good fit, we’ll give you a call”. I partially understand, but also cried over it. I have to, and need a daylight mom-fri nursing job. I can not work outside of those hours because of child care availability. I only have one child, and I’m considering not having any more children because of how difficult it is to work, literally do anything. These jobs are few and far between in my area within 30 minutes.

I’m extremely sensitive to criticism and overthink/analyze everything work related and just wondering what you guys think of this email from my manager. I’m worried that doctors are complaining about me. I didn’t expect to receive an email about this as it was a very minor oversight, and sounds like one of the doctors is finding little things to complain about. Email from my manager: Hi, Can you please review and double review before contacting physicians about patients? They have noted that they are contacted about meds/orders that are already entered. Thank you for your attention to detail. If you want to speak with TL/CH before contacting the physician, please do so. My response: The only situation I can recall was last week when I contacted a physician about a PRN medication. If there were any other instances mentioned, I would appreciate knowing what they were just so I can become more aware of any patterns in my communications with the physicians that I may be unaware of, or if i
This is my second year teaching AP Bio. Last year, my pass rate was 90%. It was super successful. This year, we enrolled double the students than last year, so I anticipated scores to drop, but it dropped all the way to 60% this year, way more than I expected. My percentage of 4s and 5s went up, but I had a huge number of 2s. I expect fluctuations yearly as every year students are different but this was such a dramatic change. Anyone else have similar experiences so I can stop beating myself up over this? submitted by /u/Jaded_Interview5882 [link] [comments]

Zero interviews and scarce listings. I wasn't teaching in 2008, but I can't see how it is any better than it was then. I keep hearing: Just wait until May. Just wait until June. Just wait until July. Well just sub. Just move 500 miles away. Get a different endorsement.

Ok, so I checked my scores today. This day always gets my heart rate up... I am so, so nervous checking! I taught 126 juniors AP English Language and Composition. 109 of them took the test in May. And after all the nerves to log in and check my scores, I ended up with a 92% pass rate, with 62 of those being a score of 4 or 5. I had one score of 1, and that kiddo had a D- in the class when it ended. My admin doesn't really note any successes with AP scores, which always bums me out a bit, but I thought I'd share, and this seems like a crowd that might care! submitted by /u/eBenson_TJB [link] [comments]

I'm finishing my BSN and have clinicals in the ED. I'm in my mid 30s and have been working in the hospital as a CNA for two years. Normally when theres some "excitement" like a code blue or a rowdy patient that requires extra hands, I enjoy being able to help out. Normal stuff like chest compressions or whatever usually doesn't phase me. But this most clinical nursing recent shift was really messed up, and I'm not the same after. Normally I come home and am like "let me tell you about these interesting cases I saw!" But yesterday I was like, "I can't talk about it. Dont ask." I felt like a war veteran who was like "I've seen shit we can't come back from. What happened there stays there..." I know I'll grow a thicker skin.

It’s med surg. But listen… Critical access hospital that transfers out 99% of what comes to ED. OR only does outpatient stuff, and then theres the floor. Thats the whole hospital. Usually there’s like 1-3 patients total on the floor. They told me they never do ratios above 1:4, on the rare occasion there is actually that many patients. Luckily, they also never send the second nurse home for low census, because they don’t want to staff the one nurse alone. Some shifts we have two nurses and one patient. I’ve worked shifts where we had no patients. Is it slow? Absolutely. We go sit in the break room and play cards for real 😆 Afternoons, we use the PT equipment like it’s our own personal gym. The people are nice. The cafeteria is actually good. It’s so satisfying because I always have time and energy to go above and beyond for patients and coworkers. We never miss a turn or a bath. I never give a late med. We always do all the ambulating and therapies for the day. It’s not an impossible c

I am asking this as a genuine question out of my own curiosity. Because where I live, the pay and benefits at most private schools are much lower than public schools, and it can cause interruptions in your pension. You also have way less protections. Teachers in our charter schools get to participate in the state pension system, but their pay, benefits, protections, and hours are much worse. I know public schools have their issues, but to me it’s clear that working in a public school where I live is the way to go. I’ve also only ever worked in public schools so that is my only experience. However, I’m aware that schools across the U.S. and the world operate differently. I also know that in some secular private schools you can sometimes get more freedom in what you teach (I knew someone who liked this aspect, but her husband made enough money to support them so she could take the lesser pay.) I can see how that might be appealing if you have other income. I also know people who work in
Knoxville, Tennessee (Knox County Schools), is facing a severe structural budget crisis resulting in an operational $7.8 million shortfall for the upcoming academic year. Read here And with this budget crisis a lot of staff have been RIFD. There are also hiring freezes taking places. I saw a post on Reddit where a mother said her daughter applied to 30 places and got 4 interviews and was lucky to have a job at a school. I used to live in Tennessee. I live in Illinois and experience the same thing happened at the school I worked. People got RIFD from providers, to our school clerk, etc. I know birthrates are declining. People are having less and less kids. More people are homeschooling. Are we headed for collapse? Is there a monetary crisis? War prioritized for self care? How will things look like on the ground when the collapse happens? submitted by /u/StatisticianKooky390 [link] [comments]
I teach an AP class that is mostly seniors. This past year, I had 10 kids. All are bright, capable kids and the highest grade in the class was a 101. The lowest was an 82. We studied a lot and the kids were all proficient in the material. I knew they were done & over school by exam time, but still, I told them all I believed they could all do well (and I did & do believe that). So imagine my surprise checking the college board website today and 6/10 kids got a 2. My most serious and dedicated kid got a 5. One student who isn't as serious but generally tries under pressure got 4. And my 2 weakest students got a 3. I'm proud of them! Those were kids I did think could be on the cusp of a 2, but they worked hard and made it happen to get a 3. But the 6 that got a 2 were all capable of better. One or two of them were maybe just having a bad day. But all 6? They clearly were phoning it in. I get it, they're seniors, it was an early morning exam, and that's how seniors are, but it still annoy

Hi everyone, I just finished my first full year teaching in a school, and I’m finally on summer break, which lasts about two and a half months. It’s been about two weeks since the break started, but I am having a really hard time winding down. Instead of relaxing, I feel like I'm still stuck in "survival mode." I spend a huge chunk of my day stressing over September. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts about next year: What will my schedule look like? How will I coordinate everything with my colleagues? How do I plan for the first week? It’s a million tiny details running through my head 24/7. To make matters worse, I've started having "school nightmares" for the past few nights, waking up anxious about the first day back. I know I desperately need this break to recharge, but I physically and mentally cannot stop obsessing over the upcoming school year. To the veteran teachers out there: how do you actually disconnect? Is this normal after the first year, and what are your
I am about 2 weeks in my med surg placement in an elective surgery ward and tbh I really love it. I would rather be somewhere with higher acuity/acute patients because I get bored but I love chaos and being on my feet. I also like the quick turnover, woundcare, drains etc. But I see online people burn out fast from med surg and don’t like it. Did they enjoy their med surg placement? Or was it what they lucked into? Most my friends on med surg want to end up in the OR or clinic. For my capstone, should I apply for a high acuity ward maybe Cardiology? Or acute?

I still think about this one patient every now and then. Middle aged guy, on high flow oxygen. He had been declining for hours. But mentally he was completely with it. Every time I would go to the room, he would smile, apologize for " being a pain " and ask if I had eaten on time. Near the end of my shift I went to adjust his IV pump because it kept alarming. He looked at me and asked, " Can you tell me when someone is about to die ? " I laughed it off and gave the usual answer that we are doing the best we can. He smiled and said, " No, I mean you. You guys see this everyday ". For a second I did not know how to answer that, and that question stuck with me. The next day, when I entered his room was empty, the nurse told me he had coded around 3 a.m. They got ROSC briefly but he never made it. I don't remember half med passes from that month. I don't remember the assignment I had the day before. But I still remember him asking if I had my lunch. What's the one patient, interaction or m

A few months ago I had an older patient who, on paper, looked very stable. Vitals were Ok, labs were not bad either. In fact he kept joking with everyone who walked in the room. But everytime I checked on him, something felt....off. I could not explain it. He just did not look right . I mentioned it to the provider even though I could not point to anything specific. About an hour later he suddenly became hypotensive and ended up in ICU. Nothing dramatic happened before that. No alarms, no obvious warning signs. It was just one of the moments where experience or maybe instinct was louder than the monitor. Has your gut feeling ever been right ? Or has it ever turned out to be completely wrong ? submitted by /u/xavier_in [link] [comments]
We used to have a moratorium on patient transfers and they weren't allowed within 30 minutes of shift change. Somehow, thats changed without official recognition and no one really knows what to. I got an icu downgrade today running dobut and milrinone, a line in place, and he showed up 12 mins before shift change. I basically just had time to switch over the lines. Unit policy says I should have done a 2 nurse skin check, 2 nurse fall policy agreement signature agreement. Except it's shift change. The other 2 nurses were also getting new ones. I changed everything over, said the a line was good and went home. That's fine when we have 30 mins. I had 15 to move all the lines so the icu could get their pumps and pole back, plus try to do a basic assessment. I wound up charting his a line and said fuck it.

I’m currently an RN med Surg nurse, I’ve only been a RN for 1.4 years, all on this floor. I’m not burnt out, I still am fine going to work. I don’t “enjoy” the job but I don’t dislike it. It’s work and good pay, great coworkers. The bad days are bad on MedSurg but overall I don’t feel anxiety or dread going to work. However a RN Patient Flow Coordinator job opened, it’s $7.5 less an hour but still very decent pay for the area, it’s $40 an hour and beside is $47. No bedside nursing, it’s managing which patients go where, prescription refills, transfers between facilities etc. Should I give it a try? If I hate it I can likely just… move back to bedside. But what if I end up enjoying it? No more poop or 1:1s or encephalopathic patients throwing hands at me and screaming at me. Tempting Thanks submitted by /u/LuckyJadeite [link] [comments]
As the supplies start rolling out at target and Walmart I am ready to start prepping for my first full kindergarten class. I’ve previously taught three years of first grade and one of those was a K/1 combo but I’ve never taught a full kindergarten only class. I know first and kinder are a bit similar but I’m not sure if kindergarteners are prepared to handle and care for their own supplies in a pencil box. In first grade I have a heavy emphasis on responsibility and organization and I am not sure how ready kindergarteners are for that. The kindergarteners I had in my combo were very responsible and independent (which is why they were placed in my combo class) but I don’t know how ready a whole class of kindergarteners will be.
