Hello everyone. I’m having a problem at work. I don’t have time to pump bc we are so short staffed. I’m in the ICU and I literally can’t walk away from my patients as the are on multiple forms of life support. I’ve complained to my manager and he just says “ you have to find time and someone to cover” but 1. It’s not fair to give a nurse 4-5 patients on multiple forms of life support, 2. It’s so bad that I’m stuck in patients rooms who are crashing for over an hour where it’s if I leave they could literally code so how am I supposed to “find time”. My baby only drinks breast milk and this is hurting my supply and causing me pain. I don’t know what to do in this instance. Seeking advice if someone has been in a situation like this before Update- I have portables but absolutely refuse to wear them bc 80% of patients are in contact precautions and I can’t justify risking my baby. I know it’s whiny but I deserve a safe clean place to pump. If I pump while on the computer I’m expected to ge

I’m so sick and tired of these patients and their fck ass family. I run around like a chicken with its head cut off for majority of the shift trying to keep them alive, having to call teams to administer NALOXONE when our EMR is crashing. Multiple orders. STAT BLOODWORK for said patient while still attending to the demands of my other patients and the patients I’m covering, and it still is not enough I start my shift. I have just sat down and logged into the computer . Immediately, this woman comes up to me aggressive. “Why have you guys not changed my husband? He's wet. I've called multiple times to change my husband.” and I'm looking at her like, ma'am, I just got here. I don't even know who your husband is. I don't even know that I'm his primary nurse. Of course, to my luck, I find out I would be the primary nurse. I address her concern and get the PSW to do it. By the way, this is night shift. Our policy is that we don't keep patients/visitors overnight because there's always a ris

I seen an instagram reel that claimed doctors were really not great at it. In my own experience i had two different doctors put a cannula in with mixed results. The ER doctor had to try twice and put it too far up the arm close to the joint in my elbow and it eventually popped out. The second doctor had to try twice as well because he didnt get it the first time. Not knocking doctors ive dealt with a lot of nephrologists who have done multiple biopsies etc on me and they havs all been fantastic. The Registered nurses in the renal ward i was in were darn good at it even if one really didn't like doing it. I am not sure if Enrolled nurses are allowed to do them but they always got an RN to do it. The same with the RNs in the cardiology ward they were great at it too. I belive the only other person to put a cannula in was a surgeons assistant (although it may have been someone else as it was during a kidney transplant). I am lead to believe anesthetists are meant to be really good at it t
Hi everyone. I’m a Type 1 diabetic in Chicago exploring a career shift into diabetes education, possibly working toward becoming a CDCES down the line. I’m trying to get a realistic sense of what this path actually involves, both the day-to-day of the job itself and what the training/program experience is like from people currently in school or early in their careers (nursing or dietetics students, new RNs/RDs, anyone working toward CDCES). If you’re further along: what does your role actually look like in an outpatient diabetes/endocrinology setting? What do you spend most of your time on (education, charting, calls, etc.)? If you’re still in school: what has the program itself been like so far, clinicals, coursework, exam prep, and does it feel like it’s setting you up for this kind of role? Also curious what path people are choosing (RN vs RD) and why, and if it’s felt worth it so far. Just trying to understand what I’d actually be stepping into before committing to a long program.

Good afternoon!!! I live in so cal and I have been teaching for about 10 years. I was really struggling after having 2 interviews this week. They went ok but I just have a feeling I won’t get them. I moved over to special education about 2 years ago (I was a gen ed elementary teacher before). Just giving you some context. Every single job I have gotten (3 teaching jobs now) has been after the school year started. My first job, I got about a month into the school year. I stayed a long time and got tenure. I moved for other reasons and got a job at a local district after the school year started. First year was great, second year I went to a new school who had admin turnover in the middle of the year and I had some medical concerns. Got non renewed. My most recent job took me a little longer to get, but I got hired into the school year and worked for that district for over a year and a half. I was finishing my credential and I was an intern. I just completed my internship and I am on the

Hey there. I’m a teacher in a rural area and I’m starting to think about eventually leaving the classroom. Teaching was not originally my plan, but after moving to a rural area, it became one of the most stable career options. I got my teaching license and have spent a few years in the classroom. While I truly enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow, I’m finding the workload and constant outside-of-school prep to be really overwhelming and hard to sustain long-term. Now that I’m starting a family, I’m also trying to think more seriously about work-life balance and being present at home. Our area also has very limited childcare options, which adds another layer of difficulty. Has anyone here left the classroom? If so, what direction did you go in, and how did you decide it was the right move? submitted by /u/blu_cleo [link] [comments]
For context I live in WA state and just finished my first year teaching. The job market for teachers is sooo oversaturated. A single job posting will get over 50 applications. There is a position I really want that popped up. I submitted my application, but I know it will get lost among people with more years of experience than me. Would it be bad/annoying if I email the principal of the school and politely let them know I am super enthusiastic about the position and directly ask to be interviewed? I don't want to come off as desperate (but I am lol). I know if I don't change something about my approach to job apps I will not get a job for next school year. Also at a place I interviewed a bit ago the principal called me and told me I didn't get the position but she thought I was great and said she would call principals to tell them to interview me. I said thank you but idk how that would actually go down. If I asked her to do that and the principal she calls asks why she didn't hire me

I’m in college to be a teacher. I’ve seen some pretty horrible behaviors, bad admin choices, lack of discipline, no parental support already. It’s scaring me away. Even in my student teaching & subbing, aggressive behaviors have happened to me. I am dreading this career even though I’m not even though I’m not an actual teacher yet. I have lost all passion. I am pulled towards helping animals. I feel like every second in a classroom (student teaching & subbing) is a waste of time where I could be pursuing something else. I might just need teachers to knock sense into me. Or let me know if my feelings are valid. Thank you :) submitted by /u/bunnyreporter [link] [comments]
I (21M) am about to graduate to start teaching high school ELA. Would anyone have any advice for me? How would you start if you could do it again? Some other questions for fellow ELA teachers: - What books do you enjoy teaching the most? What books did students really gel with? - How do you prefer teaching writing assignments? Do you typically have to go back to material that you consider to be “elementary or middle school stuff?” - Have you found an appropriate workload for homework?

I have been out of school a week. I had to have a medical treatment yesterday and my blood pressure was really high, despite being on blood pressure medicine. The nurse at the office told me to contact my PCP about it and my PCP had an appointment for this morning. While talking to my PCP at today’s appointment, she asked if I was still taking my blood pressure at home. I told her I had slacked off the last 3 weeks of school because I was so busy. Then she asked about any changes to my diet or lifestyle. I told her I was surprised my blood pressure was so high because it usually comes down in the summer. Then, I just started crying, and telling her about how bad this year was, how I had received written and physical threats by students, about how my admin hasn’t backed or supported me or the teachers in the building, etc. She said I am probably still carrying the stress from the school year. In the meantime she is changing my med, encouraging me to continue my exercise regimen, and to
I’m a music teacher and I just played a side gig where a buddy of mine from undergrad who played in the jazz band with me was there catering the wine. He recognized me immediately and even said “Hi (my name)!” I felt like crap because his face was familiar, but I couldn’t pin him down to save my life. No name, not recollection of how I knew him. Nothing. I had to dig through FB to finally figure out what the relation was, what friends circle I knew him from, and what his name was. I blame it on having to crank out 50+ new names a year and moving cities multiple times since then, but man I still feel bad. It’s someone I should absolutely know. We spent more than a reasonable amount of time around each other. This happens to me A LOT, especially when they’re in a town they weren’t in when I knew them.

I've been a nurse for some time now, i recently had a patient who had died and it really affected me. The death was the patients choice he wanted to be on hospice care, and we accommodated it until his last breaths. Those first couple of days after were so painful. all I could do was cry I was inconsolable. I had recurring nightmares of the day. A month later, being today I had my behavioral health checkup and I started crying again. Does grief ever go away or is it just something we as nurses live with? I have a good support network and my coworkers are also my friends and have supported me through this but someday just the thought of what happened it makes it hard just to go to work. submitted by /u/Fairytail-diva-3 [link] [comments]

I am a newer nurse on med/surg floor. I am 6 months off orientation. I had a patient the other day with a hemoglobin of 6.8 and we needed to transfuse him with 1 unit of PRBCs. As a background, patient normally had a soft BP like high 90s to low 100s. After their abdominal surgery, their HR was in 100s to 110s. EKG showed only Sinus Tachycardia, Chest X-Ray showed no aspiration/pna, WBC was 10.3 but he was getting antibiotics so the doctor was not concerned about sepsis. Their CBC showed the 6.8 hgb so that’s why he was getting the blood. The patient was mildly confused and tends to tense up when they don’t want to do something, but they were able to make most needs known and redirect-able. When I started the blood, their BP was 100/63 HR was 103 Temp 97.6. I stayed for the 15 minutes it was running and proceeded to do my vitals again. Mind you there were family members in room and they were chatting with patient and patient was eating (important note for what happens next). I proceed
It's a heartbreaking situation all around. My young patient accidentally caused the deaths of two of their friends while driving under the influence. I don't think they fully understand the magnitude of what has happened or the seriousness of the legal consequences they now face. They have always been a respectful, polite patient—rarely requiring anything and always saying 'please' and 'thank you when Help them with anything. None of that changes the tragedy of what occurred, but it makes this moment especially difficult to witness. My heart goes out to the families of the two young people who lost their lives, and to my patient's family as well. They are all facing unimaginable grief, though in very different ways. Now the sheriff has arrived to escort them to them to jail. submitted by /u/one-life-2026 [link] [comments]
I’ve heard from several people lately that extreme behaviors are at every school now. Serious, troubling behaviors have always existed at inner city schools in particular. I’ve been hoping to get away from the extreme behaviors Ive tried to help kids through at my current school. I’m hoping for just… less with a change of scenery to a school where kids will be exposed to less trauma, food insecurity, other risk factors. Hearing to expect more of the same at a new school in a ‘better’ area has me feeling a little discouraged. I guess my question is- are extreme behaviors really everywhere now? And if so, what is causing these kids to have such extreme regulation challenges? submitted by /u/RadiantSherbet6571 [link] [comments]

I’ve been told that covid changed education and kids. I don’t know how true that is but what I do know is I started college in 2019 as an elementary education major and now feel incapable of teaching anything under 6th grade. I sometimes feel like a professional hand holder. When I was in middle school, I was responsible for keeping track of my assignments and grades, I had weeks to months long independent projects that I completed, and school was a lot more like it is on TV (you know, “today’s assignment is _.“ students complete the assignment. the end.) But in reality, in my 6th grade classroom, I am reading out loud to the kids, because they can’t read. I am completing half the work for them with sentence starters and walk through because they can’t write. I’m spending less the half the time teaching because more than half the time is spent managing behavior. Going up to 20 kids each one by one “okay, write your name right here“ (pointing at paper). They can’t do anything independen

I started off by subbing for a few years and then I got my teaching credential. I got my first job 5 hours away at a high school. The principal and assistant principal both quit a few months into the school year. Half of my department was also new. The kids behavior was off the hook...nothing I've ever experienced before. They... just would not listen to me. I ended up being non-renewed which I was going to not renew my contract anyways. I chose to resign. I went back to subbing for a year afterwards, now when I apply for jobs I haven't had a single interview. I've applied to 20 different jobs, and edjoin shows the district viewed the application but no one has asked to interview me. I am out of jobs to apply to in a 2 hour radius. I am kind of wondering if that one year stint made my resume a red flag going from being a 1st year teacher back to subbing. If I don't get a job this hiring season, I would consider myself being forced out of the field. There is no way I can support myself
I've been seriously thinking about becoming a teacher and would love some honest perspectives from people actually doing the job. I'm 32 and currently make about $100k/year in a low cost-of-living area. On paper, it's a great job, but I've realized I value time with my family and a schedule that aligns with my kids much more than maximizing my income. I have three young children, and it feels like I'm missing some of the best years of their lives because of a rigid 9-5 with very little time off. My wife has a great career and earns about $120k, so we could realistically absorb a pay cut if it meant a better quality of life. I've always enjoyed being around kids, and I genuinely think I'd enjoy teaching. The schedule, summers, holidays, and the opportunity to have a meaningful impact all appeal to me. That said, when I read online, it seems like many teachers are burned out and trying to leave the profession. Is that because Reddit naturally attracts people who need to vent, or is that

Tagging as humor so we can all just laugh in good fun at the end of the school year. But since my post asking about which admin buzzwords are most irritating to you was such a hit, I thought I would come back with a sequel! This time it’s: What is the most ridiculous and unnecessary admin job/job title you’ve seen in your district or elsewhere? As in, you look at their job and wonder, “WTF does this person do all day? And do we even need them? Did the superintendent create this job to hire friends?” I’ll go first. My district (which is RIFing teachers left and right) has two “assistant directors of curriculum and instruction” making $165k a year in addition to our main “director of curriculum and instruction.” They all also had administrative assistants who made more than several teachers in the building.

I am a high school teacher, and our student population has grown so much that that I am one of two of us do not have our own classrooms. I have a cart that works well enough, and I travel. The teachers who have their own classrooms have plan time while I am teaching in the room. Teachers leave the room and find someplace else to work. There is one teacher that stays in her classroom while I am teaching. We get along fine. She does not interrupt my class, engage or disrupt my students. She puts earbuds in. Sometimes I can see her trying to cover her ears or block her view of me in front of class as if she is struggling to concentrate. I don’t feel like I can turn off the lights for two minutes because I will be bothering her. I feel awkward when this happens.

I've finished my fourth year of teaching and realized that we generally allow disruptive and aggressive students to destroy the education of everyone else in the room. When did this start? Why do we allow this to happen? At what point do we allow schools broader authority to expel students who don't want to be there and actively disrupt the classroom. Every year, there is a student or two who is doesn't want to be there. It's frustrating for me and them. I try in the beginning, but around April or May I give up and just let them play games in the corner so they are quiet. Honestly, I'm getting more jaded about even trying. I know I'm supposed to try with every student, but after months of trying, I just quit. It's less effort and less stress. I know I'm not a saint. Why do we care so much about expulsions? I understand some of the history around expulsions. However, at some point we have to change the rules to accommodate the current situation. Some kids can't be in the classroom with
Hey guys, I have been visiting this sub for a few months and I've noticed a pattern every time someone posts a tool they built for teachers, the "Iconic comment" is "AI slop." Every time someone shares a classroom tech idea, teachers pile on with negativity. But where is that same energy when Canvas got hacked twice by the same group, exposing 275 million users across 8,800+ institutions including private messages between students and teachers? The entry point was a free tier account with zero proper security. They initially ignored the ransom demand, got hacked again and then quietly paid up. That's corporate negligence on a massive scale. Crickets. Yes I get it that teachers are exhausted and their districts make terrible tech decisions like buying bloated or hyped platforms with zero teacher input, then mandating everyone use them. That frustration is real and valid but the anger is being aimed at the wrong people. An indie developer posting a free classroom tool didn't lock you int
I have spent a long time in L&D, most recently as a CLO, before that in learning roles at a few large organisations. I wanted to share something with this group. We put real effort into hiring the right people. Then performance is still a problem, and the usual reaction is to blame the people or throw more training at it. I am less and less convinced that is where the issue sits. In most places I have worked, the talent was already in the building. What was missing was the conditions for them to perform: the time to practice, the manager actually involved, work designed so they could do the job well. I keep landing on the gap between knowing and doing. We are good at handing people content. We are not nearly as good at building the conditions where they get to apply it and improve. To be upfront, the reason this is on my mind is I am doing a webinar on it at the end of the month with Laura Overton, who has spent around 20 years researching what good performing L&D teams do differently.

I'm starting this school year as a Behavior Specialist after working for the past 5 years as a Behavior Tech in the school system. Before this role, I spent my days in classrooms directly supporting students, so I've seen firsthand what many teachers are dealing with. I've watched teachers get hit, bitten, spit on, have their classrooms evacuated, and still be expected to teach everyone else. In many of those situations, I honestly felt the teacher was doing everything they reasonably could. Now I'm moving into a role where I'll be consulting with teachers, and I'm struggling with something. I worry about being "that BS behavior specialist" who comes into a classroom, points out everything the teacher is doing wrong, and hands them a list of strategies that don't match the reality they're facing. :( Don't get me wrong, I think behavior strategies, classroom management, and proactive supports absolutely have their place. They can make a big difference in many situations. But I've also w

I completed my first Field Experience as a student teacher (I think some universities call it a stage) and I've noticed that there are some skills that I find myself needing to develop that haven't really been talked about in my classes. This includes, but is not limited to: Reading/Writing upside down (To help kids with math 1 on 1 at their desks) Using a smart board and just generally writing large but neatly. Creating a visual guide for my lecture while simultaneously lecturing that is easy to follow and aids comprehension instead of creating confusion. Admittedly even my uni math professors are awful at this, and I suspect math teachers that are good at this have experience with the specific topics at hand. Not so much a skill but just how much new teachers need to practice their lectures and lessons. I'm wondering what other skills you - and my future self for that matter - need to teach in your style as a seasoned teacher. I don't mean the obvious ones like patience, comprehensio
