I have emailed several different email addresses including hr@k12.com and called their HR number at 855-512-4748….despite it saying that there are people answering the calls, no one ever answers. I’ve left VM and no one calls me back a whole week has gone by. Also there’s no automated canned response coming back from the email addresses. Had anyone recently received their teacher records? If so please advise. Thanks! submitted by /u/Seasonal_Allergies_ [link] [comments]
Has anyone left management after a couple of years and had a hard time finding a job? Seems like the fact I’m currently in a leadership role and applying for non-leadership is some sort of a red flag for employers. I am a great nurse, I swear! 2 years of management is more than enough. The mental stress has brought me to a breaking point, and it’s not worth the price I am paying with my life. I’m completely ok accepting it’s not right for me. Just want to clock-in, take great care of my patients, and clock-out. submitted by /u/Pretentious_Capybara [link] [comments]
Sure some patients are annoying but I do not engage with these coworkers who talk crap about the patients. This one CNA I worked with was unhelpful, but that’s besides the point, I can deal with that. But when she had to clean up literally ONE patient all shift, she exited the patient’s room with the door open and said “that’s it, I’m not cleaning up any more fat asses today.” I know my patient heard that. Made me both sad and mad. This patient was very sweet and didn’t do anything to be considered annoying at all. How does this person still have a job with that level of unprofessionalism? Wasn’t the only comment and it’s definitely not the first time. I’m off for 3 days, gonna try to forget that people like that exist and pray my family never encounters her if they’re ever in a hospital bed. submitted by /u/amyscott214 [link] [comments]
Hey guys, I am an IR nurse who has a primary duty of sedating and monitoring patients intra procedure. I work at a big hospital, lots of call, lots of traumas etc. One problem that is frequently popping up that everyone is aware of but none of us can fix is that we will receive critical patients from the ER/ICU levels of care and be asked to sedate these patients/continue their care which many of us are capable of BUT we do not have doctors that are critical care focused. Or any staff when I am on call it is me, a rad tech, and a doc. We have radiology doctors only. So we get these traumas where our IR docs will say yes we can take this patient bring them asap, and the ER doc will say “they’re stable” but simultaneously this is a code trauma requiring fluid resuscitation and blood and pressers on a child. How do you guys handle this? Is there some kind of algorithm or flowsheet that determines this patient needs to go to the OR vs this patient is appropriately stable for a procedural s
I'm an assistant kindergarten teacher. I obviously have students who really like and appreciate me and other students who do not. I was wondering how to get over the students who are like "ahh, I wish Ms X was here!" when Ms X is only here on Fridays and does nothing besides play with the individualized student. Im extremely new so any advice to get over it would be appreciated since my own fragile heart breaks a little with such an interaction. Thank you!!!! submitted by /u/GoddessFianna [link] [comments]
Im on my 4th week off orientation as a new grad NICU RN and I am in a 1 yr nursing residency program. Its an amazing and rewarding specialty, and I love the patient population. However, I always get pre shift anxiety and I sometimes cry while getting ready because idk how my day is going to be. I am always scared of messing up and looking like a dummy. I dont get help like I was promised. Is this normal to feel as a new grad nurse? Has anyone not finish a nurse residency program and was able to find another nursing job before the residency program ended? submitted by /u/Realistic-Number7023 [link] [comments]

Seriously though, PLEASE stop asking us if it’s too late to become a nurse. It almost certainly is not, but it depends on YOU. Your stamina, your family situation, and your financial stability. Can you do it? Probably. Should you do it? Asking us is as effective as asking a magic 8 ball. This question has been asked so many times already, please just search the subreddit. I went to school with someone in their late 50s. Your life isn’t over because you are 30 with kids, life is longer than that. This is a community for discussing nursing and nursing issues, not to give you answers to your exams or career advice. I’ll step off my soapbox and say good luck out there I hope you make the choice that works for you and makes you happy.

I’m talking about members of the MDT so Drs, physios, OTs ect. I just feel like all day every day they are coming to me asking me things that they could just do themselves. Constantly coming to ask me if their next patient is sat out of bed or not. Surely when you go to see them you will see with your eyes if they are in bed or not? It’s not something to interrupt a meds round for. Or I would have started my shift 5 minutes ago and hounded with questions if a patient can walk, swallow, drink yet we all had the exact same handover at the exact same time. So how would I magically know more info Physios and OTs recently keep interrupting my meds round to tell me they can’t get a patient out of bed as they are soiled. So instead of going to the aids themselves, they come to me to ask me to stop my meds to get the aids for them. It makes no sense Just all day coming to me interrupting me for things they could do themself but for some reason expect me to do. Not to mention every time a patie
I’m a first-year teacher and I just survived a situation that completely blindsided me. I did my student teaching in a high-needs district where behavioral issues were loud and overt—yelling, disruptions, etc. I knew how to handle that. I was not prepared for this . This past year, I taught a de-tracked, mixed-level freshman math class (combined college prep and honors). The curriculum is strictly inquiry-based and collaborative. My daily routine was a short, combined mini-lesson, and then students broke into groups. The honors kids got a challenge worksheet meant to force them to "productively struggle," collaborate, and deduce advanced concepts together. Enter Student A. She is objectively a top-tier student—top 5% of her class, incredibly high GPA, completely compliant, and always turned her work in early. She is also diagnosed with Level 1 Autism and severe anxiety. In class, she was completely silent, stayed to herself, and never voiced a single complaint to me. Early on, her mom
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) has determined the regulatory review period for VYALEV and is publishing this notice of that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination because of the submission of applications to the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent which claims that human drug product.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is proposing regulations to prescribe the format, content, and procedures for establishment registration and tobacco product listing. Complete and accurate establishment registration and product listing information is important to accomplish statutory, regulatory, and public health objectives. Currently, only domestic owners and operators are required to register their establishments and list their tobacco products with FDA while foreign owners and operators are not subject to these requirements, creating significant gaps in Agency information. This action, if finalized, would extend registration and listing requirements to include owners and operators of foreign establishments.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the renewal of the charter of the Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women (ACBCYW).
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, HRSA submitted an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying the medial knee implanted shock absorber into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for classification of the medial knee implanted shock absorber. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.

I’ve been an RN for about 4 years, and if I’m being honest, I don’t know how much longer I can do bedside or even traditional nursing. I’ve worked in different areas, hoping I’d find something that clicked, but I still feel mentally drained and burnt out. Lately I’ve been applying to remote nursing jobs (case management, utilization review, triage, etc.), but I either never hear back or get rejected. It feels like everyone wants those positions. At this point, I think I need a real change. I still want to use my nursing degree if possible, but I’m open to jobs that aren’t the typical bedside path. I’d even consider leaving nursing altogether if there’s something with a better work-life balance and less stress. For those of you who felt this way: What nursing jobs helped you escape burnout? Are there any non-bedside or non-clinical roles you’d recommend? Has anyone successfully transitioned into another career using their nursing background? I’d really appreciate any advice. I know I’m

I have a lot of volunteering experience but not as an RN. The fair will be at the end of August. We’re in southeastern US. I’m assuming heat stroke will be our main concern.

Hi! Prospective nursing student here. I already hold a Bachelor’s in Communication and the accelerated nursing programs around me are Entry Level Master’s of Science in Nursing programs with an NP pathway. They’re set up to earn your BSN quickly then designed to work as little or as much as you’d like while completing your Masters + NP certification. I know the mass consensus is that you shouldn’t go direct NP without nursing experience, but if it’ll get me through school the quickest, is it a bad idea to complete everything and then work as an RN for awhile even with NP licensing? I really want to be in women’s health with a focus in postpartum care. Trying to figure out the best route. I don’t want to drag out schooling but also don’t want to work as an NP before I’m ready. Currently 25 yo. submitted by /u/sdnanny [link] [comments]
Hello everyone, I received an academic dismissal because I had first failed pediatrics, passed the class, then moved on to public health, where another issue happened. During one of my clinical days, I was very tired, using the bathroom a lot, and thirsty, and at the time, I just thought I was lacking sleep and water. During my clinical, I almost made a medical error because I assumed a patient who came in that morning was someone who handled their medications independently. That was because another patient usually comes in the morning, sets their things down, and handles their business. The medical error was caught before anything happened, thankfully, and I was sent home early because of my visible fatigue and my frequent bathroom use. I later learned that the clinical site had requested that I not be back at the site because of my performance that day, which resulted in an automatic second failure. This was what caused me to be dismissed. I went to the hospital 4 days later, as my s
I know this is a very minor problem, but I’m a new grad about to start my first nursing job and I’m finding that scrubs in the same color from different brands don’t match. My uniform is navy scrubs that I can buy from anywhere, so I’ve tested the waters with three sets of scrubs that I could return if I don’t like. All three scrub sets, two of which are both from Cherokee, have slightly different navy hues and it drives me crazy. I like the pants from one set but the top from another and was hoping to keep what I like and return the rest, but after looking at the difference of the colors together I guess I’m just going to wear them all as the proper sets. Had no idea this was a thing (guess I just didn’t think about it bc it makes sense different brands would have slightly off hues). Do you guys just always buy in the same brand to keep the same color or is it just not a big deal as long as it’s the color you’re supposed to have on (like navy or royal blue or whatever and just slightl

Hello, so I recently started a position as an instructional designer and honestly I feel very out of my depth when it comes to creating storyboards on dense material. Storyline and Rise are my jam and definitely have a lot of fun and interest in using the software, and I have a graphic design background so creating assets is not a problem for me. But storyboarding has become this insurmountable task and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on creating learning material from documents that it’s very difficult to make heads or tails of. The thing about working with SMEs is I don’t even know where to start the conversation with them. ”What do we want the learner to know by the end of the course?” is a start but then it comes to a halt and I get stuck. I‘ve had a very “fake it til you make it” attitude and the lessons I create people like, but those storyboards were created for me. Making storyboards from scratch is very difficult for me. Any advice appreciated. Thank you! submitted by

I'm in the middle of certification exams, but aside from fishing for grist for essay question answers, it's a real concern. I was never bullied in school. However, I was mostly isolated, and I didn't feel empowered enough to seek out help versus handle my emotions on my own.

And if administration does not pursue consequences against the bully, what should I do? submitted by /u/Bubbly_String_8351 [link] [comments]

I've been a substitute teacher for about 5 years. In that time I warned my multiple subjects teaching credential and started interviewing for my first position. I work for three districts and over the last two years this job has become something I want to run away from instead of embrace. I got into this because I genuinely love helping children learn. I've had so many experiences even just as a sub or student teacher where I see that light bulb go off over their heads so many times when I feel like I been a great role model. Now I feel like I can't even communicate with these kids. Nothing I say or do is ever entertaining enough for them to listen for more than five seconds. I can't finish a sentence without being interrupted. In the last year especially I've never received so many physical attacks and verbal threats from the students. And of course as a substitute there is even less support from admin. I haven't been in this for very long but I feel like I've been in it long enough j
I keep hearing this sentiment—from students, their families, my own extended family, non-teachers with an axe to grind who keep showing up in the comments sections here. As teachers, we apparently celebrate student failure and gleefully dole out Ds and Fs. There’s nothing we love more than giving a confident Honors student their first B. We perceive our success as inversely proportional to the number of As we distribute each semester. Etc. But despite being the hardest grader in my department (I’ve seen the data), I hate failing students. I feel shitty every time I post an F. I feel shitty any time I assign a grade that doesn’t seem to reflect the student’s academic ability or engagement. I want students to pass, and I want them to pass with a grade that aligns with their potential. I had to give a high-performing student with huge ambitions their first ever Bs both semesters last year, and the student harassed me endlessly to change their grade, even pleading their case to district ad
I'm struggling with creating a more strategically ordered digital filing system that helps make content delivery and organization easier and more logical than I currently have been. I feel like there has to be a system I'm simply unaware of or someone who has developed one of their own. Basically, I'm trying to determine how to Structure and name everything needed for planning to content delivery to assessments and everything in between in a cohesive and logical order that is best fit for a teacher. I have been using an alphanumeric system that felt like a good idea in it's simplicity but I haven't organized it in a way that makes my day to day seamless or easy. Anyone willing to share their system or give any ideas would be very appreciated.

Edit: what a beautifully supportive thread this has been. I didn’t come here hoping for a bunch of “oh it’s no big deal” and I didn’t get that. Instead I got advice, clinical tips, relevant stories, and encouragement to move on as a more experienced nurse. I hope to carry on in practice with the same attitude that you’ve all shown me. Thank you all! Like the title says. I’ve been an RN for 8 years in various settings, all of which I started IV’s in. I’m fairly “good” and often start lines for coworkers who can’t find anything. Currently, working in a rural ER, we got a trauma call. Patient ran over by farm equipment (this is not an unusual call for us). They arrive, immediately need intubation and sedation. One IV already in from our medic so we tube the patient with meds through that. I start a second line, an 18 in the AC (classic). The medic actually pointed out the vein to me and it was quite large. An easy hit so to speak. I pulled labs, flushed it, hooked up sedation line. What w
It is my intention to run for school board next year and I have a long list of things I want to do to improve schools. I was hoping for a little help from you all - I want to know where my ideas are impractical or flawed and I want to know which ones are good but might not be politically popular (I'll still do them - I just won't advertise them). I've been a teacher since 2003 and the current school board where I live but don't teach has 12 members with 4 years of teaching experience between them, all of which happened before 2001. They just renewed our useless Superintendent and I want to make some changes. My hopes: 1. Kill off one of the at-large seats. Choose six teachers (2 elem, 2 middle, 2 high) to act as secret advisors to the board on how policies are working. They have that role for a year and get paid about 6k for it. Right now, there is a student advisor to the board but no teacher advisor. 2. Kill off all required tests that are not required by the State. In my classroom l
Hi people. I am new to do this but would like to hear peoples' opinions of what could possibly happen to me as a professional. I am a registered nurse and do agency work, covering shifts in nursing homes. I did a shift over the weekend in a nursing home where we gave a high dose of oral Morphine tablets slow-release by mistake to a resident. The total prescribed dose was 30mg and was in 5mg tablets so six tablets had to be given to make up to 30mg, at least that was the case on my previous shift. However the home received a different strength and supplied 30mg tablets so one tablet suppose to be given. The start of the shift was very hectic and busy. The medication round was done by trained carers (that's the home decision) and I was a witness. We checked the medication on the Camascope, I remember I saw right name and dose but somehow failed to realise that the strength is different, even the colour of the tablets was different, I just can't understand how it happened. The carer dispe

So I’ll a section of global that meets everyday for 77 minutes from Sept-Jan, then the course is over. This is a big switch for us, as we’ve only ever done 9 periods of 42 minutes. Naturally, we have received zero training for this. We only got it confirmed we were making the switch on the last day of school lol So for those of you that teach in block - how do you structure your classes? How do you handle assessments?
