I have a student with a history since daycare days where he would yell at the top of his longs, hit other students and throw chairs. Last year he constantly eloped at drop-off, hit various teachers and threw chairs. This year, he has destroyed my classroom after he kept spitting at a girl and kicking her, thrown chairs, gave a girl a black eye on the bus, bruised a child's legs because he told on him for grabbing rocks from the school garden, thrown furniture at a girl (and missing her) causing her to scream in tears and runaway, uses language such as "you're a shithead", "dumbass", "bitch" and hyperventilates and hides under tables. I've had to have him removed multiple times or get between him and another student from getting swinged at with a chair. His drawings are full of monsters with sharp teeth. He hits his sister at home. He is kind of like Jekyll and Hyde...sweet and collaborative in one-to-one or a few students around at a time, but throughout the day his "anger tank" fills
I’ll go first, decompensated cirrhosis. If you’ve ever taken care of a patient in liver failure that is confused to the point where no amount of reorientation will have any lasting impact and you basically have to watch them 24/7 and/or put them in some form of restraints or they’re almost certainly going to do something they shouldn’t and they’re getting lactulose so they’re pooping nonstop you’ll probably be able to relate. I cleaned up so much poop last night. I really dislike the distinct smell of lactulose poop. Edit : This isn’t a specific disease process but freshly trached patients are definitely a close second in just being generally difficult to take care of, we have them often on my unit and usually hold on to them for a while even when they have transfer orders. I’m sorry but I cannot read lips so I literally have absolutely no idea what you’re trying to say but can you please for both our sakes relax so the vent will stop alarming. submitted by /u/emtnursingstudent [link]

I’m in the ER for the first time ever with a hand laceration that just needs a few stitches. They put me in my own room in a bed that is all the way propped up. It’s 3am and I know I’m going to be waiting a while since my injury is not serious. And I’m totally fine with that, but I am wanting to get some sleep while I wait. I’ve tried all of reclining buttons and I even walked to the end of the bed with the little “patient lock” symbol and tried that but I can’t figure out to recline it! Am I allowed to press the nurse button to ask for help reclining the bed? It feels really silly since I know people are here with actual emergencies… submitted by /u/Common_Ferret_8841 [link] [comments]
Sooo... yeah. We live outside of a big city and have a lot of inner city kids transferring into our schools who are barely able to read on an elementary level. For instance, several are unable to identify 1st and 2nd grade site words, they don't know how to sound anything out, and just skip words altogether when reading without seeming to understand how to even decipher context clues (or show an interest in doing so). Many also can't even read their own handwriting and they misspell alarmingly simple words. So, our high school has started a program in which we have special extended-English classes for the severely under-performing students that are supposed to teach these kids phonics and reading. I absolutely support this. If a person gets nothing else out of school, they should at least be able to read and write because it's the foundation of all other skills and a critical tool for protecting and building themselves up in the world outside of school. To graduate high school or colle
Has anyone had this happen? I applied for a job and interviewed. It went well but because of my experience in certain grade levels they went with someone who teaches the grade level that they had an opening for. In that same district I got a call from a different school. I couldn’t answer but they wanted me to call back and discuss potential openings at their school. I did not apply for their school. Their schools each have their own applications. I called back a few hours later and heard nothing but left a voicemail. I did call back the next day. It’s been a week on Monday but why call me then ghost me? Especially when I never applied..has this happened to anyone before? Is it a red flag? submitted by /u/Any_Illustrator_2403 [link] [comments]
I mentioned I work in Oncology. I am 29 years old. Anyways, I love my boxing and calisthenics, it gives me a good workout and I feel way more confident in myself. Now I had senior Nurses not that much older than me say "I don't have time to go to the gym or do any boxing. You don't have kids , you don't have to cook/clean etc.."

I work LTC. Today around 4ish one of my patients asks for extra strength Tylenol. I’m out of xtra strength on the floor. I’m in the depths of med pass so I ask if they want their Lyrica. Has an order in for Lyrica PRN q8. Last dose administered at 0600. They say yes and I give it alongside other due meds. Fast forward 10pm the same pt comes over to ask for Lyrica. I say I don’t think it’s been 8 hours but I will double check my emar. Immediately they become combative, stating the Lyrica was never given and I made a mistake. This pt is a&ox4 and knows their meds well. I check my emar and it allows me to administer it. Says last administration was 0600. So even though I felt crazy because I remembered taking it out of the narcotic box - I administer it. Also side note this resident is known for complaining about people, trying to get them fired and even reporting to BON. I was flustered, backed up on med pass and I didn’t want the confrontation. There was other channels I could’ve and sh
I recently finished my residency + first year teaching at a school that I found to be rather hard. After a grueling job search, I chose the only option I had, a title 1 school that is going through really significant admin changes. The resident who was at my previous placement before me works there and said nothing could have prepared her for this current school and she's had to start therapy to deal with this school. She's 20 years older than me and far more experienced. Is there any advice? I am a high school ELA teacher in a state and district with extremely low literacy and have already struggled with students respecting/listening to me. I really want to do good for my students, but I am genuinely really nervous about this position and am worried about just how unprepared I am. I really want to provided a rigorous but supportive environment because I feel so many teachers just give up and allow school to become 8 hours of nap time, but I also don't really have the time to start the
So I show up to work, we’re doing bedside shift report when my patients wife walks in. He attempted suicide so they did CT of his head and neck. It said “difficult to exclude subarachnoid hemorrhage due to movement artifact.” The day nurse is showing me some of his wounds, I left my report sheet on the counter. Didn’t think anything of it. A few hours later I’m educating the wife on the plan of care when she pulls out her phone and shows me a picture of the report sheet. She’s freaking out asking what it means and I’m trying to explain to her that they just didn’t get a clear image because he was moving during the scan. I said if they were concerned they’d get a repeat scan but our provider isn’t concerned at this time.

Hi please give advice on how to deal with family members that are tough to deal with. Today my preceptor was pulled due to understaffing and I worked the second half of my shift completely alone. During this time a family member was telling me they needed to speak with doc immediately and I asked if it was an emergency and she started screaming at me that if she didn’t see the doc rn she would request a new nurse. This was not an urgent issue and doc was busy, I was trying to relay that things wouldn’t be instant but she wouldn’t listen. I called my charge and she was helpful but the whole shift she would chase me around the unit refusing to use the call light to ask for minor things, interrupting me while I’m speaking with doctors, raising her voice, telling me to give what meds and when, and just generally being mean. How can I set boundaries without escalating or getting walked over? submitted by /u/ab_sentminded [link] [comments]
I’ve been teaching 2nd grade for a few years. However, an opening has become available in my school for 4th grade. There have been some minor issues with one of the other 2nd grade teachers and I also feel that upper elementary is my calling. I emailed my principal to ask about whether I can switch to 4th grade. I kept it professional and emphasized how I enjoy the age level very much and have prior experience with upper elementary from previous jobs. Do you think this was okay?

My daughter just finished Kindergarten and I just finished my first year as a teaching assistant (hope it’s ok that I’m posting here) at a different school. My daughter keeps asking if she can go to my school with me next year. She has brought it up for weeks. She says she just wants to be with me. I think she also likes the school from what she’s seen from me bringing her to school events. The school where she is zoned has a reputation as an excellent school with very high test scores. It’s a blue ribbon school. But to be honest, I haven’t loved the culture or community there. It’s not diverse at all and it’s very cliquey. We are at the bottom end of the economic scale there. There are no clubs or new ideas or projects. It’s very stuck in its ways. The school where I work has test scores slightly above the state average (in Virginia). It is very diverse. It has a great principal and very dedicated teachers who seem very happy there with great teacher retention. Lots of clubs and stude
I’m looking for some perspective because I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m a brand-new employee at a home care agency. After only a few shifts, I’m ready to quit, but I want to make sure I do this correctly to protect my future career and the next person they exploit. Here is the breakdown of what happened in my first few days: Zero Training: I received no clinical training, no shadow shifts, and no formal orientation. I was handed a PowerPoint about not dispensing meds directly and told to start working. Safety/Care Plan Issues: I was sent to two different homes with complex needs (dementia, mobility issues) with no care plans provided. In one instance, I had to rely on notes from previous caregivers that didn't even mention the client's behavioral history. Coercion: After working a handful of shifts, I declined a last-minute call-out. I was immediately summoned to a call by management, chastised for my "low hours," and told I would be fired if I declined future shifts. Because I ne
Hypotension: Broad workup. Stat rainbow labs (CBC, CMP, ABG with lactate at the minimum, ECG and chest xray). Fluids are ALMOST ALWAYS correct unless its a HF patient and you are concerned for cardiogenic shock. If after fluids is still hypotensive, start pressors. Norepi is always correct. If nothing is obvious from the above workup, very low threshold for broad spectrum abx and CT scan. Respiratory: ABG and chest xray are quintessential. If your patient went from room air to high 02 needs in a very short amount of time, the most likely thing is either mucous plug or flash pulmonary edema. Chest xray will give you the answer; if chest xray is clear, CT PE. Evaluate need for intubation. Neuro: ALWAYS get blood glucose first whether it be concern for stroke or seizure or whatever. If there's high concern for stroke, call code stroke. Otherwise assess airway, rainbow labs, consider need for CT head. Arrhythmias: Follow ACLS protocol. If fast and shocky, cardiovert. If slow and shocky, pa

In a previous post I wrote about giving my patient potassium XR 20 mEq but crushing it on accident. I remembered 12 hours after that same shift my preceptor gave me the okay to crush a different patient’s meds too (Metoprolol XR 25 and Sacubitril/valsartan). The worst part of this is when I reported the second med error, I was informed I was being let go, which is fine…I’m not cut out for this profession. However, I can’t sit the uncertainty of not knowing if my patients were okay. My metoprolol lady was given her meds at 2100 and was still alive and kicking at 0700. VS at 0200 were stable from what I can remember. My potassium pt denied complaints at 0730 after receiving it at 0600. How do you guys handle the uncertainty in these situations? I sincerely hope these poor people are okay. I feel so much guilt, it’s killing me. I’ve been miserable ever since.

I've noticed there have been a lot of posts recently with nurses asking if it's normal that their manager will text or call them when they're not at work and ask them to do something like document from home, or come in to fix something that happened on their shift. Sometimes people are on vacation or a leave of absence or FMLA, and they say their manager message them everyday asking when they were coming back. First off, if I'm not at work I'm not answering. The only time I answer my phone is if someone calls me right before my shift because maybe I'll get low census. Otherwise I am not at work. I'm not getting paid. I will not talk to anyone from work. But besides that, especially younger nurses, sometimes feel guilty and will respond. I think we should all have a system. A fun system for newer nurses could be to answer every single message, email or text with basically an out of office message. Your manager text you saying can you fix this documentation issue when you're off work? Yo

Hi everyone, I’ve been working in IT for several years, most recently as a Service Desk Analyst for a regional healthcare system supporting roughly 1,500 end users across hospitals and outpatient clinics. Before healthcare, I worked in K–12 education IT supporting staff and students, managing Chromebooks, Google Workspace, inventory, and endpoint support. Over the past year, I’ve realized that while I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience in healthcare IT, my long-term goal is to get back into education—specifically EdTech. I really enjoy technology that helps educators and students rather than working in a constantly reactive hospital environment. Some of my experience includes: - IT support for K–12 schools and healthcare organizations - Google Workspace administration - Device lifecycle management and endpoint support - Citrix, VPN, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 - Ticketing systems and documentation - Cross-functional support for software rollouts and end-user training I’ve been

Hi teachers! I’m a first grade teacher, and I’m determined to only use iPads for required testing next school year. I’m wondering if any of you have really great, relatively quiet activities for fast finishers? I fear I’ve gotten into the habit of letting them go on the district approved apps since they are so quiet when they do and I’m able to work with smaller groups more easily. Thanks! Update: we’re going to add lit and math games, board games puzzles, knitting/crochet/individual craft projects, origami type activities to the standard read or draw. We’re avoiding worksheets because we don’t want fast finishers to feel like they’re being punished with more work and to help avoid disruptive behaviours.

I am posting a pedagogy flair because I think asking our kids to put their name on papers that they turn in has reached some sort of critical apex. Each year it’s been for me treated like a “classroom mgt” type thing when really I think it needs to be switched over to “pedagogy.” And here’s why. A few weeks ago go I went to a new doctor to discuss med. He is from a great medical school and has one of the best bed side manners I have seen in a while. He wanted to see the science instead of giving me random pills to “see how it goes.” I was thrilled. He handed me an old timey prescription slip for a baseline EKG and we set the next appointment. I joked with him that i hadn’t seen a paper “scrip” in a long time. Fast forward I go to the hospital for EKG and registration looks at the order and says “he didn’t sign it.” Then hands it back to me. In turn I drive the 1.5 miles back to new docs office yesterday to get the signature. He’s young maybe a year into his full license. He says to me

Something I keep running into in learning design: for a genuinely hard text, the text itself is the worst possible starting point. A learner with no background spends almost all their effort decoding the prose and has little left for actually understanding the idea. We treat reading comprehension and concept comprehension as the same skill, but for novices they really aren't. I've been experimenting with flipping the order. Before someone reads a dense paper or a long handout, give them a visual, narrative version first (in my case a literal manga retelling: the concept acted out in panels), then send them to the original. Anecdotally the original read gets much faster and retention goes up, because the learner already holds the structure and is now just attaching detail to it. It lines up with the old worked-example and dual-coding research, just pushed further into full narrative. The part most relevant to this sub is adaptivity. The version I built makes every concept expandable: a

Walked into patient’s room and asked what was going on and three staff members two of which were RNs told me that the patient didn’t have a pulse (they checked radial). I checked in femoral and he didn’t have pulse. I asked if he was full code and there was hesitancy and someone said yes as I was climbing on the bed and said I’m starting CPR. Very quickly I needed relief because my hand was hurting and without going through all the details of the code I ended up getting reprimanded from my manager because my hand hurt and they asked me “why did I start CPR? Someone else would have.” That fucked me up. I cried for about an hour later. Replaying in mind.

For context, I'm speaking of high school mathematics. Do you ever come across students that are clearly very weak with a big ego due to high grades with previous teachers? I'm a second year teacher noticing this more and more. "I got an A in Mrs. X's class and now have a B in Mr. SleeveOfWizard's class. I would like to switch teachers." What makes it tough is that, due to the high grades on paper, administration views the new grades as unacceptable and not representative of their abilities. It almost feels like gaslighting, and like an issue no one wants to really talk about in great depth. How do you reconcile this? In your eyes, is this immediately a sign of the previous teachers' grade inflation or poor instruction on my end? How does one tell? submitted by /u/SleeveOfWizardddd [link] [comments]

The situation: I had about 300 feet of multicolor LED Christmas lights hanging from the roof supports on my ceiling. I loved them, and my students loved them. They provided plenty of light without interfering with my projection screen or sucking the life right out of my eyeballs. I had to take them down because, apparently, they are defined as “temporary” and not supposed to be used for more than 90 days.

Have you seen people using these in your school? And when you tell them it’s AI they either don’t understand or don’t care? This year, our music teacher taught the whole school this nice inspirational positive song and they would sing it when they were feeling down. Great idea, but the song is completely AI along with a bunch of 10 second clips of children “singing” it. Like there was plenty of real alternatives. On another instance, We were asked to show students a “read-aloud” on bus safety that was also obviously written by AI and the pictures of buses were extremely distorted. One said: “SCHOULL BUS”.

I'm a new teacher and I feel like the fastest way to bond with coworkers is through complaining. Not necessarily malicious gossip, but just being negative together. If someone is venting about admin, students, parents, another teacher, etc., and I empathize and join in, it feels like they instantly warm up to me. But if I respond with something positive or try to reframe it, the conversation dies and they get defensive. If I don't validate their feelings or don't talk along, they don't like me. I don't really want negativity to be the foundation of my work relationships. I've noticed that I started this year of positively and now I'm feeling increasingly negative. I haven't found someone yet that I can switch this dynamic around with. Someone who actually like their job and wants to be positive together.
