So as a Canadian outside looking in I am curious if these days US teachers teach any sort of world religion/comparative religion and if they do , are students more accepting/understanding of different faiths or does it go other their heads? For me when I was taught comparative religion (back when Nintendo Wiis were the hot new trend). We spent about 1/3 of Grade 8 social studies examining 6 major world religions. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. (If your curious why Judaism and Sikhism were chosen even though Taoism, Taoism , Yoruba religion and West African Vodún have more followers we did the former for its starting point for Christianity and Islam and Canada has the second largest Sikh/Punjabi population in the world and my area had a heavy Sikh population so doing so would have alienated a large portion of the student body.) We would learn about each of them, their history, beliefs, go to a local place of worship for each and the class was split into 6

Primary nurses are asked to pick up the slack from everyone else in the hospital: -doctors not placing orders -transporters not moving patients -environmental services not cleaning rooms, floors, surfaces -IT not fixing computers and equipment -Unit Assistant not answering phones/call bells, organizing charts, etc -CNAs/Sitters/lift team and PT/OT cleaning and moving around patients When we do these things, it detracts from our ability to focus on our nursing. When we fail in some aspect of our job or even one of the random jobs above, we are written up. It’s too much work for one person to possibly do. Remember that when your boss asks you to leave the unit to transport or receive your patient or any other thing from the laundry list of bullshit. When you start to do someone else’s work, you will be expected to do it and you will have one less helper every time. Count on it. That’s how executives get their bonuses and stockholders make earnings. Hospitals do this all the time, even mo
We have two non-instructional days before school starts. Most of today was meetings, but we had 1.5 h to work in our classroom. Tomorrow we have an hour and a half professional development session on a topic I regularly used to present on. Another staff member actually designed the program that the whole thing is based around. Our admin knows this. Did they ask us to present? Nope, they brought in an "expert". Did they excuse us from sitting through the PD session? Of course not. We are expected to be there along with everyone else. We don't expect our students to sit through material when they have already demonstrated mastery.... But teachers don't get the same respect. submitted by /u/Timber2BohoBabe [link] [comments]
My favorite response when students ask me questions about workload. "Mister, do you give a lot of homework?" "That's a great idea! I wasn't even thinking about homework yet; thanks for bringing it to my attention." "Mister, are we just going to write 5-paragraph essays or like longer essays?" "Ohhh, that's a great idea. I was thinking 5 paragraphs, but we can definitely do longer." "Mister, are we going to have to do iReady/IXL/other boring online program?" "That's a great idea. I'm so glad you're already thinking so far ahead." The reaction from the class is always priceless. submitted by /u/Consistent-Row-9551 [link] [comments]

In my journey from working on the floor as a patient care technician to behind a desk as a medical secretary, nothing has surprised me more than how often I hear women calling on behalf of their AOx4, fully capable S/O, father, brother, uncle, adult child, etc. In some cases, the caller isn't even listed as a patient contact, which of course makes things somewhat inconvenient for all involved parties. Maybe it is because I primarily worked nights hospital side, but I've hardly ever run into this outside of the clinic! These days, I have upwards of 4-5 phonecalls a day that begin with something to the effect of, "Hi, I'm calling to set up an appointment... My name is X, but the patient's name is Y - I'm spouse/partner/sibling/kid... No, they're sitting right next to me," <cue a distant voice in the background that sounds like the patient> I'm truly baffled as to why the patient just doesn't call us themselves.

So school has started and I just finished my second day teaching. It was stressful and overwhelming. The students knew I was new and started playing in my face. I had an experienced teacher with me just to make sure things don’t go out of control and stepped in when needed. I felt like I didn’t get anything done since yesterday. The students also won’t listen to any directions I’m giving even if I’m insistent and speak very concisely with no begging words like please. I know it’s not the students problem but my problem because of my poor classroom management. I feel like giving up if things don’t improve. I’m also struggling with learning 150 kids’ names.

I am a somewhat experienced ER nurse (2 years) who also did 1.5 years in the icu, all in nyc previously. Have my CEN, working on CCRN, genuinely am passionate about emergency medicine in normal circumstances fwiw) I started working at an ER in Georgia after my family relocated down here to try it out. I’ve spent a lot of time working in an extremely busy ER at my last job so I was used to having a ton of patients and doing hallway medicine in nyc - juggling tasks is nothing new to me. but oh my GOD I hate my new job here (in the er of a hospital I guess I won’t name but maybe I will if anyone is curious enough to message me. ) there’s no teamwork, the charge assigns patients completely randomly and overloads certain people (ie me, some others) with extremely sick icu level patients while some get an easier assignment daily. The management is absent more than any previous management I’ve had. TLDR I want to quit so so badly. They offered me a 10k sign on bonus and I should have known fr
I don’t have to be stressed out to do a good job! I don’t have to look like a chicken with its head cut off to prove I’m a good nurse and that I actually care!! Nurses don’t have to wear their anxiety like it is a badge of honor, because personally, I don’t think it is I don’t have to rush for your profit margins and compromise patient safety! Healthcare doesn’t get to slurp up all of a nurse’s energy like they are a used Caprisun Nurses shouldn’t have to pick up that fourth 12 hour shift to pay the bills and support their children, just pay them well enough in the first place Private equity and this high stakes corporate finance mentality needs to be banned from healthcare, you have no grasp of what you are asking nurses to do and you are liking committing sins you cannot comprehend Private equity, leave healthcare alone. submitted by /u/LetterStandard5217 [link] [comments]
Well guys… I’m a first year teacher and yesterday was my first day of teaching kindergarten. It was terrible🫠 Half way through the day I was crying and really struggled to bring myself back together. Luckily I work with great people and had help to make it through the day. I had one student who clearly doesn’t have structure at home and possibly has adhd. As a first year teacher who didn’t have much experience with that in their internship, I just don’t know how I’m supposed to manage him and 15 other kids. I literally had to chase him down the hall once and hang on to him to keep him from running. Also, is it acceptable that I emailed the assistant principal and asked if we could move him to another classroom (someone with more experience) or send a para in to help me? submitted by /u/IcecreamMatters1389 [link] [comments]
I work in a pediatric orthopedic clinic. Doctor tells me to write a school note for his patient to allow him to use a wheelchair at school and use the school elevator. I put it in and go let the parents know they’re good to head out and can get the note at the check out desk. Mom proceeds to ask me if I’ll ask the doctor to provide a note to allow the kid to switch schools. Because he can’t use stairs right now, and the school he’s at is multiple stories, but there’s another school in their district that’s just one level. I explain what the note says and ask, “does the school not have an elevator?” wondering if maybe the doctor just assumed the school would have one but they don’t. She replies “well… yeah… they have one. But he doesn’t really like getting on it….” LADY. Really? You’d rather have your kid transfer schools than tell him that he needs to be a brave boy and ride the elevator for 4 weeks?

Not gonna lie, just want to rant and hear if anyone went through a similar situation. Back in June I was offered two positions, one near my home teaching 6th, and one teaching K in a city far away(30 min commute each way). I accepted the K job because of the school I would be at. I liked the community and the staff there alot. These were all huge factors in my decision for which job I accepted. Fast forward to this week. I spent the last 8 days setting up my classroom, just to be called in by HR and told that im going to be moved to a different school. I was extremely upset, because they could have told me way sooner. I’m also upset because I went from a large classroom, to a portable that is 1/3 the size. Even better, the person who was in the classroom before is still in the process of moving out, so I can’t even move in yet. This is honestly such bullshit and im so upset. Someone please tell me this happened to them and it turned out to be the best thing ever. Seriously so frustrate
So I currently work as the Stroke and Sepsis Coordinator for my hospital. I applied to the program manager role as I’ve been working in that role since my coworker left, expecting a raise of course. I didn’t expect a huge increase but they actually offered me 36.75/hr. That’s 19% less than my current salary for more responsibility. The recruiter said they cap nursing experience at 10 years (I’m at 16+ years w/ BSN). The new range for the role is 30-40/hr for the role. I escalated it of course to my director and will wait to see what they come back with. I’m just so disappointed to see where nursing salaries are headed with gigantic corporations.

This past week I had a post appendectomy patient on a CLD. Me totally not thinking brought the patient tomato soup. I know this is full liquids but it was an accident . I have an infant and am sleep deprived. The surgeon comes to see the patient and sees the soup. He looks at me and says oh this is full liquids so I guess you decided he wasn’t on clears.

I am no longer a teacher, after teaching special ed for 20 years. I am now in a "teaching adjacent" field. We are absolutely FORBIDDEN to buy anything for our clients, even a cup of coffee. We can't even buy them something that they need for their home like dishwashing soap. Which has me thinking....how in society did it become appropriate for teachers to buy stuff for their classroom and their students? When I was a teacher I spent so much money on supplies for the classroom as a whole, and I even bought individual students things they needed like deodorant, headphones, wipes, maxi pads, etc. Of course, I always reached out to the parent first, but with some of them it was crickets...... Maybe you are one of those people who have never spent a dime in your classroom, but that is NOT the norm. I just really wonder why teachers are expected to do this. I worked at schools that provided NOTHING to us, and even copies were limited. My last school had an active PTO and it was supportive. B
Some schools across the country are now turning to a hi-tech device to combat active shooters. At least nine schools across the U.S. are being equipped with drones designed to distract a school shooter until police arrive. The drones work by flashing strobe lights, sounding sirens, and spraying pepper gel at the threat. The aircraft is called Campus Guardian Angel, and it can ram into a threat at 50 miles per hour. So instead of addressing the issue at its core, we are throwing money to drone companies. That makes sense. Its not like the shooter will ignore the drone or shoot it down with their gun. Also, who is going to calmly operate the drones while someone is going from classroom to classroom slaughtering children? https://abc7ny.com/post/campus-guardian-angel-drones-american-schools-install-pepper-spraying-mithril-defense-stop-active-school-shooters/19595678/ submitted by /u/Disgruntled_Veteran [link] [comments]

So one of our surgeon’s standard order set includes intradermal lidocaine for IV placement. The instructions are to use a tb syringe and inject 0.2 ml in 5 locations around the area and then wait 5 min. I get EMLA but we don’t even typically use that for regular IVs here. (We have no peds) And only for ports if they have their own at home since we don’t even have it on formulary. Is this less painful than just one quick poke? We have access to an ultrasound so I rarely fish around for questionable, more superficial veins. There’s some amount of wiggling with that… but still. I’m not sure getting poked 5 times with the smaller needle is better. So is this a new thing and I’m getting old? Or is it just really old fashioned? Because this particular surgeon is probably of retirement age here soon. submitted by /u/potato-keeper [link] [comments]
I took my CCRN this morning and passed! 🎉🥳🍾 To anyone thinking about taking it, just do it! I’m a very anxious person, so I went into the exam expecting the worst. I had put it off for two years, but I went ahead and scheduled it and committed to studying 30 days ago. To prepare, I watched all of the Nurse Life Academy YouTube videos, read the entire Barron’s CCRN book, and completed the AACN practice test bank. I consistently answered 50–150 practice questions per day, depending on whether it was a workday. I even went on vacation during my third week of studying, but I continued doing practice questions and reading Barron’s while I was away. For background, I’ve been a MICU/mixed ICU nurse for four years. When I started studying, I didn’t know PA catheter values, much less their indications. I gained so much knowledge throughout this process, and passing has given me a huge confidence boost. My personal goal was to answer at least 100 questions correctly. One unexpected thing was tha
Hi all. I'm a teacher in a non-American country where the use of the n-word has started to gain popularity. This is especially noticeable amongst my black students and as a white teacher I'm unsure how to address it with them, or if I even should. I feel that it's not appropriate for school settings, but I'm also aware that I am missing distinct nuance with it as I am neither black nor American. As such, I would like to know how black American teachers address the use of the n-word by their students so that I can handle instances where it is used sensitively and appropriately. EDIT: thank you to everyone for weighing in. Part of my uncertainty in how to deal with it was not knowing that it is in fact considered a curse word as opposed to simply being slang. Knowing this gives me much clearer insight into how to handle the use of the word within my class. submitted by /u/tabrises [link] [comments]

Do not send your child to Miles Ahead Charter school. If you want your child to both grow academically and perform and receive a quality education. Miles Ahead is NOT for your child. Here are 3 brief reasons why: Academic PerformanceMiles Ahead is performing close to an “at-risk” school based on CCRPI scores. The CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance Index) is used by the Georgia Department of Education to measure how well schools prepare students in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. • 2024 CCRPI Score: 53.7😱• 2025 CCRPI Score: 65.2😨 For comparison, the average CCRPI score for both Georgia and Cobb County schools during those years was around 78😊. Parents should ask themselves why they would choose a school performing significantly below the state and county averages. High Staff TurnoverTeachers, SPED leaders, and administrators frequently leave during the school year, and parents are often not informed. Consistent staff turnover can be a sign of an unhealthy school culture
Curious what your hospital’s policy is if a patient leaves with an IV in - whether they leave AMA or staff forget to remove it.

I recently started working the front desk at fetal treatment center, where patients are seen due to abnormalities with their fetus. It's not a happy place, there's very few days where there's good news. Many patients are so anxious and heartbroken. With a place so full of sorrow, I'm sure I'm going to hear the same things over and over, and I'd like some advice on how best to respond to these things. I learned to say "take care" instead of "have a good day" when patients depart. I've become mindful to not ask about baby names, or project into the future too far ahead. Keeping it professional, of course. But if a patient walks in for a follow-up, and I remember their name, sometimes they sigh and say "it's not very good to be known in a place like this." Or, "it's like being a regular at the police station". I'm left a little awkward when trying to respond. What would be a comforting/assuaging way to respond to this? I appreciate your input! submitted by /u/ConstantRide5382 [link] [comm
I was taught to write in 3rd person; I.E., “this nurse assessed patient ” or “writer assessed patient” and it just always feels so awkward and unnecessary. I’ve been noticing that a few coworkers notes are mainly written in 1st person lately. Is this acceptable (finally)? The nurses writing in 1st person are new nurses, is this what they are teaching now? I hope so! I think the ANA needs to re-evaluate this way of teaching. This writing method was taught before computerized charting became a thing. It’s silly to write “this nurse” instead of “I” now that we have EMR. Of course you or “this nurse” did or said or witnessed whatever you are writing about, afterall, it’s your name as the note maker on the EMR. It’s tome consuming to keep writing “this nurse” instead of “I” and it’s just funky. submitted by /u/Weekly-Mix-9480 [link] [comments]
Seeking a little advice here - my school’s spirit shirt this year was designed using AI. I am expected to wear it for a back to school event this evening but the thought of putting it on makes my skin crawl. As an arts educator especially, I do not want to be seen as giving tacit endorsement of generative AI. Students should be taught to be creative with their own brains and frankly I believe AI has no place in school. That being said, is it worth the stink I might cause by wearing a previous year’s spirit shirt?

Today I was telling my mom some nursing stories, specifically my time as a new grad during the 2nd wave/peak of covid… memories I haven’t thought of in a while popped up. Specifically one man… he was on high flow o2 maxed out, wasn’t doing too hot, could barely make a move without desatting. What he said will forever stick with me. “Am I going to die from this?” I reassured him that he would not, and has been doing better and he will be ok… 2 days later he was intubated/ on vent and died. Telling this story today I just started freaking sobbing and I couldn’t stop.. and then so many memories came rushing in that I haven’t thought of since they happened…I felt overwhelmed with flashbacks of emergency chest tubes being put in at the bedside, code blues, people FaceTiming their family for the last time.

Maybe an unusual question, but just curious. My child is in elementary and I was googling the teacher he was just assigned for this year. I noticed that the public school salary listings were online. One thing that struck me as odd was that this teacher, despite being at the school for several years at minimum (maybe longer…) is paid almost $50K less than the other teachers for the same grade and the other teachers my child has had in the past, some of whom were new to the school/district at the time. I’m not sure if that really means anything in terms of teaching quality/assigned raises or what other factors could contribute to what looks like a huge inequity from an outside perspective. For example, would teaching one month of summer school really make that much of a difference (taking like 100K to 150K - seems doubtful…)? Is that normal? Do they pay less if someone is a “spousal hire” and their partner is also working for the same district at a higher salary similar to other teacher

I’m a first year teacher and have decided to resign early in the school year. After two weeks of school, I already feel completely drained. I’ve been putting all my energy into classroom management, planning, trying new strategies, contacting parents, and seeking advice, but I keep coming back to the same feeling: this isn’t sustainable for me. A big part of this is my family. My job is taking so much of my mental and emotional energy that I don’t have much left for them. On top of that, I’m also part of the shared responsibility of caring for our elders in the family, and when work is this demanding it becomes harder to show up for that in the way I want to. Even at home, I’m thinking about school, worrying about students, and feeling exhausted before the next day even starts. I’ve tried hard to make this work, but I’m starting to realize that effort alone doesn’t mean this is the right path for me( at least for now) I’m also concerned about what this could mean for my professional re
Hello. I’m a new grad! Started my job on the first week of July. Two weeks ago, I made a med error, but I notified provider, filled out a report, told my preceptor, and met with my manager to talk about it. Since then, I’ve been so thorough on my medication administration. Today, I had a busy and rough shift. I come back home to see I have an email for a SUBUTEX that is unreconciled and if not addressed or witnessed, I have to write another report.

I do have my mom, but after telling her about the stress I was in, she ignored me and told me to go to sleep. Am I gonna lose my license, get a pay deduction, or get in trouble? I literally work tomorrow and cannot stop worrying. I’m just tired of being a failure, and I already have low-self esteem.

A year ago my principal decided to “shake things up” by moving a bunch of teachers around because that is what she learned at a professional development workshop. She removed me from a class I loved and put me in a class I never wanted. The year was a failure, to the point that almost half the staff left at the end of the year. From teachers to support staff, it was a nightmare. I was one of the many that left after being denied a duty change. I spent over 20 years there holding many hats, but I finally needed to leave after seeing how we failed our students and families this year and knowing it was not going to get better.

Stand by Me has been my favorite movie since I was 12, but I haven't watched it since before Covid. I sat down tonight to give it a rewatch and wow, I can't believe how much it resonates with me now as a teacher. It's surreal seeing experiences and family dynamics that many of my students have being portrayed in such a realistic light. I started bawling when Chris told Gordie that he's just a kid and how he wished he was Gordie's dad so he could steer him in the right direction. (This scene) Stand by Me is such an old movie that I'm sure most people have seen it by now, but if you haven't seen it while working as a teacher, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. There's so many layers to it that I never appreciated until I entered this career. Definitely solidified itself as being my favorite movie of all time! submitted by /u/peppermintcrowz [link] [comments]
