I graduated last summer with my BSN, got my RN license august & been working as a school nurse, as my first nursing job, only for yet to hit 6 months. Got about a week as a orientation/“training”. I feel like this job is not set up for new grad nurses at all. It’s completely independent work, no supervision or support staff especially being new and not with nurse-confidence just yet I feel like I am not fit for this role. I feel unqualified everyday. It’s such a leadership role where I feel like working with no previous medical experience, I am just winging it sometimes trying to learn on the job. I constantly overthink every little interaction I have with a student, trying to understand and help them, for emergencies- when to call 911 & when to call parent to pick them up. I self sabotage that I’m making a mistake, not taking the right steps, or being useless in my position. My office is at a high school, so that is my daily age clientele. I’m fine with the creating care plans, teachi
I am 11 days into my teaching career. I teach 5th grade general education and it feels like no matter what the behavior is it is treated like it's normal every day things and I should be okay with addressing it and going about my business. The only time I actually got support was when a student literally threatened to hurt me on day 8 because I told her she couldn't drink Gatorade in class. I've been told to "shut the fuck up," for telling them to walk single file in the hallway. I was called a "fucking bitch" for saying good morning. A student eloped after telling another one "shut the fuck up before I slap your bitch ass," because she told him to not throw things at her (indoor recess, literally happened before I could step in and address the throwing), the eloping student said he "was going to come back into my fucking classroom." I was told to communicate these problems with their parents. I did. They don't care. One told me she would talk to her son about his behaviors and then pr
I started the school year last week with two students who just turned 4 the week of, one turning 4 at the end of this month, and many of them turned 4 over the summer with the other half turning 5 between end of September and December. I think it’s a combination of age, the iPad, and not being told no. I know TK is to prepare them for the school environment and I should expect this, but it seems over the top this year. I have kids in diapers, throwing themselves on the ground and screaming at the top of their lungs when they don’t get their way. Some don’t even care when I speak to them sternly. Zero social skills, which of course they will learn with me, but in the previous years they had SOME from going to the library and park. It seems more like a daycare than a classroom. I know it will get better, but this group seems way too young and the age gap too big. I have some really good kids, but I don’t even notice them because the young ones and their behaviors are taking all of my att
We are being inundated with anti-vax parents at our clinic and it is beating the compassion out of me with a stick. Parents who laugh at us, accuse us openly of trying to kill children and profit off of the “system” all while they are demanding that we write letters to schools and sport teams exempting their children from vaccine requirements. Parents who say that we are out to get them and their kids and then are flabbergasted when our providers ask “If you believe that I am not a trustworthy practitioner and am trying to harm your child, why did you make the choice to schedule an appointment with me and drive an hour to be here today?” Maybe what we need is a massive outbreak. An outbreak of an illness we have a vaccine for. Maybe we need PICUs that are full, death rates on tv, anti-vax parents having to get notifications of deaths and funerals of friends and family. Maybe these parents need to see the complications of these diseases and be told “your child developed measles induced

Second year HS teacher here and I’m at a total loss of how kids find humor these days Last year and this year, kids I don’t even have have been majorly disrespectful to me and my room. Now it’s not like they trash it, but if the door is propped open to stay open or closed but able to open, these kids will either push it closed or open it and let go then run. Also last year, a student yelled a very certain racial slur in the hallway just for the fun of it and when I told him to watch his language, his response was “ shut TF up word ” then ran. In another instance, I had a note on my door that said meeting in progress do not disturb, and then these two kids pounded as hard as they could on the door and then ran. I caught one of them and his response was “ I did nothing wrong. Take it up with discipline they won’t do anything.” Today, during lunch when my door was closed and the lights off, these five (different) kids pounded on the door then ran. I didn’t pursue them, because I know they
I'm a relatively new ESL teacher, working in a public school with students aged 15+. This is only my second year, but I'm already struggling with the workload. I feel like I'm drowning in papers, tasks, and screen time - and slowly starting to lose myself in the process. Lesson planning alone is incredibly time-consuming. Simply following the coursebook page by page often feels too uninteresting for many of my students, so I experiment with different activities, materials, and ways of presenting the content. It works and usually increases engagement, but it's not very efficient in the long run. Creating materials tailored to a particular group's needs takes time, and so does printing worksheets - sometimes up to 80-90 copies a week. And that's only the planning. There are also emails, reports, tests to create, student writing to grade, and endless administrative tasks. I spend so much time staring at a screen that it honestly doesn't feel healthy anymore. We hear a lot about student bu
So I’ve been an RN for 6 years and a home health nurse for 1.5 years. Today I had a suprapubic catheter change due for a patient at an assisted living home. I went to remove the old catheter and I noticed upon pulling it out it got stuck. I managed to wiggle it around and it loosened up a little. When it came out there was a soft pop but there wasn’t any blood or anything on the catheter tip or on the SP site. When I went to insert the new catheter I swear the canal must’ve closed up or the patient was having a bladder spasm because when I was trying to insert it wasn’t going in. I tried to insert it straight, at an angle, and also downward toward the pubic bone but nothing worked. Then the SP site began to bleed so I stopped. I spoke with the patient’s resident care coordinator and she looked really irritated when I told her the patient will need to go to the ER to have his catheter changed. I called my clinical manager and notified her and she seemed pretty nonchalant about my decisi

I am about to start my 3rd (out of 4) semester of my nursing program. over the summer i got a job as before/after school teacher. now that school is starting im getting nervous / stressed about whether i am going to be able to handle everything or if i should just quit. I also have a 3 year old son who is in daycare 8-3 and my partner works full time. The last 2 semesters i didn’t work, and used the time that my son was in daycare to study and do work. The next 2 semesters i am also taking an extra class that will go towards my BSN.

This is my rant post for nursing certifications. Nearly $400 for initial BCEN certification is insane and a total money grab from these certifying bodies. Plus eventual renewal fees and associated CEUs and also costs for licensure renewal that is essentially a "licensure tax". add multistate licensure and multiple certifications in there and there goes the vacation fund. Looks like more overtime for me. submitted by /u/dominitor [link] [comments]
I have a year left of school and I actually hate nursing. The future of healthcare is so bleak and it's incredibly clear that management doesn't give a shit about us and we will constantly be under-resourced to do our very important and stressful jobs. I've been a CNA for over two years and a nurse tech for about 6 months. Maybe I've just worked a lot over the summer and I'm burned out but as soon as I get my degree, I'm gonna start taking classes for engineering or something because good lord, this field is not looking good. I'm in a privileged position cause I have scholarships to pay for all of my schooling and some of my living expenses. If this weren't the case, things might be different and I may feel trapped/pressured to do this for much longer. Still thankful for all I've learned though. I'm glad I know for sure that nursing ain't for me. Edit: in the post, I state that I will finish my degree and work as a nurse and THEN take engineering classes. But at least I know right now
Education Department Tells Schools Race Can’t Factor Into Student Discipline The DOE just issued a "Dear Colleague" letter officially ending disparate-impact liability for school discipline, instructing schools to evaluate behavior based on individual actions rather than statistical demographic outcomes. For context, the policy rolls back guidance from previous administrations where districts felt pressured to alter disciplinary actions if suspension or referral rates showed racial disparities. Many educators have privately complained that trying to balance these statistical metrics made everyday classroom management nearly impossible. Critics are calling it a rollback of civil rights oversight that ignores systemic realities. But on the ground, a lot of teachers have felt like their professional judgment was constantly being second-guessed by a spreadsheet. For all the teachers, Did the old "disparate-impact" rules actually help fix equity issues, or did they mostly just tie teachers'

I was taken aside yesterday at work and told that I made a patient cry after our correspondence via MyChart. I work clinic side and I field hundreds of messages and phone calls every day from patients, and sometimes I do get frustrated by patients who don’t seem to…..get it? This patient had two recent UAs. One came back with trace non-hemolyzed RBC and the other came back with trace hemolyzed RBC. This patient, a woman in her late 50s-60s, had a lot of questions about what these results meant - specifically what the difference between hemolyzed and non-hemolyzed RBCs in her sample meant. I did my best trying to explain in lay terms what this meant but over the course of our correspondence she was just not grokking it. The provider even stepped in and sent a message to the patient explaining the difference. We gave her resources and links to articles explaining what these words meant. Finally (after about 6 messages back and forth) I sent her a message saying that she may be better off
I am a 10th year teacher in michigan and am attending a mandatory PD. I honestly have to say that sometimes PDs make me worried about the quality of our education system more than anything else does. The keynote speaker spent an hour telling the room the secret to teaching is apparently just being nice while she repeatedly climbed up and down tables. Like the overall theme was. If a kid or parent is being rude, its probably from some underlying reason and you can connect about that and help build the relationship sometimes, and sometimes it won't. Like duh...are there really teachers, who actually believe they are good teachers, that dont understand that... Apparently cuz so many people after are like. "Wow so inspiring" "That was great" "Learned a lot". What?!? Edited to clarify about the table...she didn't tell us to directly climb on tables. But movement was emphasized in her intro video (because I definitely need a 5 minute promo to introduce the speaker before the mc comes out to
In March last year a student assaulted me when he couldn’t get to his target student who had already run away from the scene. He bashed my head into the door several times.

We are two weeks into the year and this morning marks three times I’ve been sent home due to my seizures. I’ve already got intermittent FMLA coverage, but I’m realizing very quickly I may not be able to teach unless these are gotten under control. Yes, I have a medical team working on it. No, we don’t have answers yet. Health-wise, I probably need a break, however bills won’t pay themselves. And if I quit? No health insurance. I don’t think I qualify for disability.

Detroit Public Schools Community District is expanding an attendance incentive that officials say helped improve turnout among high school students. Students in grades 6 through 8 can earn $50 for each week of perfect attendance, while high school students can still earn $100 a week. The expansion comes as chronic absenteeism remains widespread. In 2024-25, 61% of district students missed at least 10% of the school year. There will also be a new ride-share pilot program. The $500,000 rideshare pilot will provide trips to about 150 students at Pershing, Denby, Osborn and East English Village high schools from Aug. 24 through mid-October. A separate $1 million state grant will keep DDOT bus rides free for all Detroit K-12 students. https://themetrodetroitnews.com/detroit-schools-to-continue-100-weekly-perfect-attendance-payments-add-50-for-middle-schoolers/ * * I wish that this existed when I was in school!

Reposting bc I only got one response in a different group. I went in for an interview 4 weeks ago, and I thought it went great! The hiring manager verbally stated that I would be an addition to the upcoming cohort, and it would take 2-3 weeks before offer letters start going out. I sent a thank you letter after the interview and asked if 2-3 weeks was the wait time just to clarify and to know what to expect. They kindly responded about 6 days later (they said they would be on vacation right after our interview) and confirmed that yes, they will be working with the recruiter in the next few weeks to start getting offer letters sent. Tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks since they responded, and I’m just angsty.

Everyone knows how much I enjoy contributing to the team. I enjoy being an intern in this unit and this is where I see myself thriving. One night, it was slow and I didn’t do much of anything. In my defense, everyone else was chilling soo… The next day I’m back in. I’m assisting a nurse with a patient. I thought everything was good but as soon as she closes the door, she’s like “I’ve known this patient for awhile so I’m gonna do this in front of her” and proceeds to lay into me about not doing enough last night. She says last night people were saying things about me. After the talk in front of the patient, she asks if I’m ok which I was. I’m fine with constructive criticism, but that was not the place to do it and I let her know that. She says this stays between us and I’m like cool. A few minutes go by and another worker comes to me and asks about what happened. I played dumb of course because I’m like “she said it would stay between us” only to find out she literally just went back a

I brought my students out for a basketball competition a month ago. During the match, two of the students who weren't playing got into a fight. One of the boys punched the other boy in the face and his nose bled. My colleague (an untrained teacher) administered medical aid on the boy by using an ice pack on his face to reduce the swelling. I spoke to the assailant to investigate and find out his reasons for punching the other kid. After this incident happened, my principal scolded me for not keeping an eye on the students. She felt that it was my fault that the fight happened and I must have been negligent. She also scolded me for allowing an untrained teacher to administer medical aid on the student. She said that only trained teachers are allowed to do it. This is absurd in my opinion as any adult should be allowed to render medical aid to a student when they are injured or when there is an emergency. She banned me from going out with the students for future matches. Ever since this
So I graduated in may and started work 2 weeks after graduation (we got our ATTs quick). I’ve officially finished orientation on med/surg/tele, dayshift, but of course I’m still working out some kinks in my day to day routine and getting used to being without a preceptor. Anyways, the nurse I’ve been receiving/giving report to is VERY passive aggressive. Like the other day, the aide had left early so I had to also be the aide for my patients which was no big deal. However, one of our patients had gotten Bumex so her PureWick canister was full and she looks at me and says “do you want to empty that” and I do not mind at all like I completely understand, but she makes me feel like i’m not competent and like I’m a bad nurse. It’s just really discouraging after a busy shift to feel talked down to because of these things. And I understand 100% that leaving things after a shift is wrong, even if the shift is busy it shouldn’t happen, but she is very judgmental and makes me feel like I don’t

I did a couple travel nursing contracts at a behavioral health hospital that was extremely poorly ran. They chose to focus on everything except giving quality care to patients and ensuring safe staffing. This pic really sums up what it was like being there. For context: The saltines at the med window were intended to be given when meds should be taken with food. The meal portions they gave patients were super small, and many psych meds can increase appetite, so patients often were hungry. There were many times people asked for saltines in between meals, but management only wanted us to give them out with medication. Patients eventually caught on and knew to ask for a PRN just so they could get the saltines. This place was so stingy and micromanagey, you had to ask leadership to restock the damn SALTINES.

First year teacher here teaching 9th grade. I have 30-35 students per section. It’s the second week of school. I have been counting down to get them to quiet down. It’s been working but I have to do it often, and in one class I had them give me 5 minutes of silence at the end of class because it wasn’t working. Another period is getting a seating chart tomorrow due to specific students. One of the teachers told me that her student said I was very nice. Overall, ive been getting good engagement. They raise their hands, ask questions etc. However I have that feeling in the back of my head, like I don’t have control of the class. My admin is very strict and comes in sometimes.

I haven’t been working in nursing for that long, but a few years has done me in for a lifetime. And it’s not the patients. Sure, some can be annoying to work with, but generally, the patients have been pretty good. No, it’s the pettiness, drama, and sheer immaturity from other coworkers that truly exhausts me. Before anyone says, “Other jobs have drama too,” I agree. Of course they do. But having worked in other fields (and having known various others who did the same and then ultimately left nursing), I can say with confidence that it simply isn’t on the same level or nearly as malicious. In fact, the professionalism in other fields almost feels like a distant other world at this point. These particular coworkers in nursing don’t just irritate me; they genuinely disgust me and are an example of someone I will never let myself be. I cannot fathom how grown adults can behave so immaturely, be so obsessed with drama, try to make coworkers look bad, and actively make the job harder for ev

We had a 4 hour training on our new IEP testing protocols today. We had to all sit in a room together and share the one testing kit they provided each school. For 4 hours we listened to a PowerPoint read by AI. That’s their idea of training… It was a complete waste of time and insulting to a room full of experienced teachers. submitted by /u/decoteachgarden [link] [comments]
