First day is in three weeks (can you believe it?!). I would love a classroom pencil system that WORKS. I have spent the last two years buying my pencils for my classroom, as many teachers do. The problem is, I can’t afford that! I have tried the trade system, where students give me something small of theirs (AirPod, keys etc.) in exchange for a pencil, and they get their item back upon return. That had come with some annoying issues that I rather avoid this year, so I’m looking for something different. I teach English, which means we do write a lot (making everything digital isn’t an option)! Does anyone have a SIMPLE pencil system that is low prep on the teacher’s end and easy for students to follow for their high school classrooms? Any tips and tricks would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Sincerely, Broke Teacher submitted by /u/astr0quartz [link] [comments]
I am a new nurse of 3 years. In that time I’ve worked Pysch and ED and recently started at large Level 1 hospital. During orientation, there were many new grads and I was blown away at the entitlement and flippancy of these new nurses. One nurse behind me that was apparently starting in the ICU (she mentioned it like four times) complained endlessly about the things every orientation has- POC BGM, restraints, wound care, etc. During the practice session for applying violent restraints she says “Why are they even making us do this? Security will put these on. This is so stupid.” It was eight hours of hearing her bitch and sigh about everything when she has not EVEN BEEN ON THE FLOOR YET!!! Girl, just wait… Another complained to the chaplain that, LAST YEAR during her internship, a family requested holy water and she called the chaplain and no one answered. She then apparently couldn’t find any holy water in the chapel. The chaplain was more gracious than I would have been and apologized
Lurker here 👋 Working m/s, over a year into my 2 year contract. Requested PTO 3 months prior to the date after a chat with the manager who said no one else had requested PTO for those days yet and traditionally those dates don't get requested much. Gave me enough assurance that I felt safe buying tickets (guiding hikes and paddles for 2 weeks for a handful of people who have already booked tickets). Just got the schedule and the PTO was denied due to others with more seniority requesting for the same dates. I'm not butthurt about the seniority; I understand why it's a thing. I'm just looking for advice on how you would proceed. Can't swap shifts because of rules about only being able to swap within the same pay period. I have plenty of PTO hours so I can call in sick for 5 shifts over 2 weeks but it seems like a crappy thing to do... and if I were to call in sick, I'm not sure if I should give management a heads up or not. I appreciate the input, comrades submitted by /u/chocolate_dipp
I left my previous teaching job as a social studies teacher after the 23–24 school year. There were a lot of reasons some of them personal, some of them were not seeing eye to eye with administration. So for the last two years, I was looking for another job in social studies. After spending two years searching and not finding a job, I made the decision to get my special education license. I was hired by a local district as an intervention specialist with a very few details about my job, other than I would be co-teaching. Today I went into a PD to find out I will exclusively be working in social studies. I will be co-teaching three classes. The part that really excited me though was that I will get to teach two history classes in the resource room. This is a best case scenario if there ever was one for someone who stepped away from their regular area. I cannot explain how much I’m looking forward to this school year now. submitted by /u/Fantastic-Hat935 [link] [comments]
As the title states… why do some teachers quit right before the school year begins? PLEASE NOTE, I understand if it’s because of injury, illness, last minute move, etc. this is for people who KNEW they weren’t going to return this upcoming school year. Why would they wait all summer to then tell the school they won’t be returning? I’ve seen this happen in a few districts around me, so I’m sure it’s happened everywhere else too. Edit: also, no idea why I’m getting downvoted for asking questions😂 I’m not trying to be an asshole or anything- so I apologize if it’s coming across that way. I’m only a few years into teaching and I’m genuinely just trying to clear up some misconceptions and trying to hear insight from everyone- not just my district and surrounding districts submitted by /u/Puzzled-Bonus5470 [link] [comments]
I am really struggling to provide safe care to my patients because of how our doctors act. I think some of their actions are very much related to being on night shift. First off, they straight up refuse to make any adjustments to the plan of care, even if it’s indicated. Every morning I hand my patients off after begging for orders overnight. Every evening I come back to those orders having been put in during the day and a very frustrated day team that wished it had been done right off the bat. I am being met with day team doctors coming in and demanding to know why things weren’t done overnight. Asking me why I never told anyone about an assessment finding. I tell them I did and what I advocated for. Second off, they cannot be bothered to come to bedside to check on their patients. Febrile, tachy, complaining of new pain and increased abdominal distension after bowel surgery? Oh well. This is not just a me problem. My coworkers all are struggling with this too. Third off, they are fla

I chose rant because I didn’t know what else this would fall under. I’m also coming at this from the offender’s angle. I recently joined an athletic club and this week I took my family to the pool. While there I saw one of the kindergarten teachers from the school I teach at. I went over to be polite and said hi. This is where my manners won over my brain because I absolutely didn’t want to be “on”. She’s a great lady and we’ve helped each other out a few times in the last year and I honestly think we’re good colleagues. But, ya’ll, the look of dread when she saw me coming over to say hi was real. I kept it short, said hi, asked how her summer was going and then went to be with my family. We both didn’t want to hit that “on” switch that is so there no matter how nice the person, even if it was a colleague. I don’t think people in the community truly understand what it’s like to have to be professional ALL THE TIME. People are getting dressed in a locker room while I’m huddled in a stal
Newish teacher here (year 2). I teach 6th grade STEM at an elementary school. I have no social media of any kind and often hear people discuss students adding them as friends or following them. I always thought it was common sense NOT to do this as it's incredibly inappropriate. A coworker of mine, a young woman probably mid 20s, also coaches the middle school girls basketball team. She's a nice girl, but she told me the other day she adds her players that she coaches on playstation to play video games together online and that her and the players will often game together and chat to "build camaraderie". She made it seem like no big deal. I would personally never do this. It seems wrong and I don't understand why a teacher would want to play with a bunch of students online. What would they even have in common? Is it just me or does it seem wrong? I don't want to get involved but I don't know, I feel like a lot could go wrong here. What do you all think? submitted by /u/Unhappy_Session85
I’ve been reading so much on here about how miserable everyone is. And I get that, this job is hard AF, and often made harder by people in charge. I know talking about it with others who understand can genuinely be so helpful, so I’m not judging anyone for that at all. However, I’m about to start back up after 9 months of being home with my baby (minus a 5 week stint at the end of the year) and am looking for some reasons to feel like maybe everything is going to be ok. Not going for toxic positivity here-I don’t need to know your “why,” unless you genuinely feel like sharing it. I just need some reminders of the good or bearable parts of teaching. For example, I think I’m really looking forward to being on a schedule again and having structure to my days. submitted by /u/Majestic-Space1996 [link] [comments]
Sharing this here because my friends and family that aren’t in healthcare don’t truly understand how huge this is. I have been a nurse for almost a decade. Even with all the things we love to complain about (staffing, pay, hospital politics, etc), I’ve truly loved every minute of it. The part I’ve loved most has been precepting nursing students and new hires. There’s a lot of satisfaction that comes with teaching someone to be successful and achieve their own personal goals. So a few months ago, I began applying for clinical educator positions because that’s where I could see myself long term. I applied to nearly every job I could find that contained the words “clinical education”, “nurse educator”, “nurse professional development”, etc. but was having zero luck on getting an interview for any position in a hospital setting (I applied to dozens). Then one day I stumbled across a clinical educator position for a biotech company. It involved partnering with the sales team to provide clin
Hello! Male, Elementary Teacher here. I have a bunch of button-up, Hawaiian-esque shirt that I like to wear at school. I have multiple themes of shirts that are from Disney, Marvel, Zelda, Mario, Star Wars, and Bluey. I met someone recently that told me, “You need to lay off the Bluey shirts because they give major pedo vibes.” I told them I’m an elementary teacher and that I get the most compliments from other teachers, parents, and students when I wear my Bluey shirts. They responded with, “Well those students are actually probably talking about you and how weird you are and that you give pedo or gay vibes.” I told them, “Okay, they can talk to each other about that then.” They then proceeded to say, “You probably don’t get it because you don’t have kids of your own. I wouldn’t trust you if I sent my kids off with you.” And I just finished it by saying “Okay.” If you saw a somewhat larger, male elementary teacher (~30 y/o) wearing a shirt with Bluey on it, would you be untrusting and
Just moved somewhere with break nurses, which is awesome except for this one lady. Everytime I ask her to do anything at all she has a thousand questions and goes into my charting and gives unwanted feedback. I asked her to empty a foley for me. She was asking me how often I’ve been emptying it, what is it for, etc. Everytime I come back, my charting has been picked apart. It’s very frustrating. I don’t need to be told to document intake and output. Sometimes I’m behind on my charting but I have notes of everything so it doesn’t get forgotten. submitted by /u/throwawayhair831 [link] [comments]
My wife and I are having a debate/discussion. I’m a nurse with ICU and flight experience. My wife is a physical therapist. We have recently had family members hospitalized (atleast 1 at a hospital we have worked at before; so we know people there) and I insist on NOT letting the healthcare workers know we are in health care. My wife disagrees. My wife’s position is that it doesn’t matter if they know. They’ll do their job. And with the family member hospitalized at the hospital we used to work at, it doesn’t matter cuz we know several workers. They’re friends of ours. So there’s no point in concealing anything. (Obviously we are following hipaa in these instances before anyone comments) My position is we shouldn’t tell them unless they ask. I feel like it’s a distraction. I think some nurses (and other healthcare workers) may think I’m judging their practice rather than just engaging in their workflow. I have a few anecdotes/incidents/reasons for why I have this position. First is when
Hey, I’m just posting to get some clarity/reassurance about my situation because I think I might be overthinking it. I smoked on June 22 and completely forgot that I needed to get a drug test done for my nursing program. I smoked probably less than 10 small hits of a joint and didn’t even really get high. I also don’t smoke often at all, MAYBE once every other month. The test I have to take is a urine test through Labcorp. I weigh around 130 lbs, I’m 5’8”, and I’m pretty lean, probably around 10–12% body fat. Since smoking, I’ve taken multiple at-home urine tests. I took three 50 ng/mL tests at different points ranging from about 2 days after smoking to 3 weeks afterward, and they were all negative. Then, about a month after smoking, I took a few more sensitive tests at 15 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL (two of each on different days). I even tested using my first pee in the morning because I heard that’s when urine is the most concentrated. Every single one came back negative. I feel like I’m pro

For those of you who use it. My system is changing over and we (maybe, sorta, kinda) have a chance to provide (limited) input on the design and stuff.

I’m currently an ICU nurse and interviewing for a position at a surgery center. The position is PACU, pre-op, and admissions, and you float between all three I knew I would probably take a pay cut leaving the hospital/ICU and I was prepared for that. But they offered me $12/hr less than what I currently make. When I asked if there was any flexibility with the pay, he told me, “I don’t care what you make at the hospital, this isn’t the hospital . Patients here are stable “Literally just like that . The surgery center is also a longer commute for me, so I would be making significantly less money while also spending more time and money commuting. For those who have left ICU/hospital nursing for PACU, pre-op, or admissions at a surgery center, is a $12/hr pay cut normal? Did you feel like the Monday through Friday schedule was worth taking that much of a pay cut? Would you take the position or keep looking? I’d really like to hear from people who have made this type of transition because I
I lost her to addiction, and anyone who has experience with addiction knows how complex and difficult that journey is. There’s a lot of trauma I have to unpack there, especially with how things were left off between us. I found out while I was at work on Wednesday, and the first day for students was Thursday. I missed Thursday and Friday, and I had planned on returning tomorrow, but I’m not ready and got a sub. It would be so much easier to return to work if I already knew my students, had routines established, and felt comfortable and was back into the flow of things. I honestly don’t know how or when I can return to work and meet my students for the first time without breaking down in front of them. And the thought of having to be performative and “on” is too much for me right now as I grieve. The worst part is when you literally can’t leave the room when you get upset, because you can’t leave the kids alone without an adult in the room. I get 2 days for bereavement, I can use 3 sick

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or some insight to why I always feel so nauseous in the mornings even though I love my job. For some context, I'm a first year middle school special education teacher who joined mid year within an inclusive model where I am a co-teacher with a diverse caseload of around 13 students. I genuinely have nothing to complain about regarding the job. My coworkers have been supportive, student relationships were often very positive, families were collaborative, etc. I'm even maxed out on the salary scale in terms of education because I worked on earning 2 MA's while working as a para educator in the last 2 years. Everything on paper is as perfect as it gets, and it's been a dream job for me since college. It's something I hold a lot of passion for due to how schools built me up when I was a neglected child surviving poverty in the past. That's why I'm struggling with understanding why I'm feeling extremely nauseous every mo

I graduated nursing school a year ago. Always wanted to do psych nurse. I did med surg for a year then went into psych. It did not turn out like what I expected it to be.

I’ve been seeing everywhere online of all nurses saying how hard it is , how mean the surgeons are, how mentally draining taking call is and always being on go… and then the biggest thing, not feeling actually comfortable until 2 years in the OR.

I know this is an amazing opportunity so I don’t really want to hear comments about that. I just don’t know if this is really going to be as bad as people online say it is or what? Am i going to feel dumb everyday? Am i going to be bullied by other nurses and surgeons? I was told by the nurse that hired me that there is a lot of hazing until you get good at what you do .

Hello, I’m in my 6th year of teaching and got moved from 5th grade ELA down to 3rd ELA. This was not my choice as the previous 3rd grade ELA teacher had a problem with a co-worker and the whole 3rd grade teaching team was split. The 3rd grade teacher was given my 5th grade class and I was told it was moving down to 3rd for me or I was out of a job. My principal made this decision as he said “I think you would be a solid team member in the new 3rd grade team I am building this year.” That principal is not long at my school as the week after he made this change he accepted a position at another school. Long story short, I moved to keep a job as my state was heavily cutting teachers in every school district and I was afraid I would not have a job without it. I had the highest test scores last year in 5th for my whole district but got booted because a veteran teacher couldn’t play nice. As I type this, tomorrow is the second day of school and I’m freaking out that I don’t know how to teach

The med surg unit I was on was certainly busy and had its issues with staffing occasionally (as many med surg units do). However, my coworkers there were wonderful, I worked day shift, and although I was busy I felt competent and confident in my work. I even started precepting new grads which scratched this teaching itch I've had for a while too. My manager was very complimentary of me, saying I had what it would take to be a charge nurse and even replace her someday. On this new unit, I work nights (for the first time) which has flipped my life upside down, it makes me feel like a ghost of a person and I wish so bad I could work day shift.

My nursing career so far hasn’t been super consistent in one area. I started out on a step-down unit on nights for 6 months but didn’t do well at this job and realized critical care was NOT for me. I went to a med-surg oncology floor on nights for 7 months and liked that way better, but struggled a lot with nights and with a long commute. I then worked in an outpatient gyn onc clinic for about a year and a half. This job was a lot of phone triage and not seeing patients in person very much. I LOVE this specialty, but I eventually started to miss bedside and felt like I left prematurely. I moved to an inpatient oncology job on days and have been working there for the past 6 months. I really like this job but feel like a new nurse in some ways and it’s making me feel frustrated. I’m re-learning a lot of skills that I didn’t do very much before (i.e. CBI management, pleurx drain care, etc.). I feel dumb talking to the doctors.

I work in a nursing home, and I'm watching our residents suffer because we're constantly short-staffed. When staff don't show up, everyone feels it—but our residents feel it most. Their care gets rushed. Their needs get delayed. That's not okay. I started a petition demanding that U.S. nursing homes be required to maintain safe staffing ratios. When there aren't enough hands on deck, people slip through the cracks. We need concrete rules that guarantee residents get proper attention and that workers don't burn out trying to do the impossible.

How are you supposed to safely manage all of this at the same time? I had a patient with a Hgb of 6.2 who needed labs drawn from the port because lab wouldn’t draw them, followed by a blood transfusion who also had to poop (assist of 1 with walker). At the same time, I got two new admissions (already in room waiting for me) and had a patient with schizophrenia with a stroke who was a major fall risk, sitting on the edge of the bed despite being unable to safely walk cause of weakness. On top of that, everyone had medications due. Five total-care patients, no CNA/PCT, no charge nurse, and basically no help. How is one nurse realistically supposed to manage all of that safely?

He would pull me and my preceptors off the unit for an hour a day and find reasons to write me up. So HR intervened and stopped him from meeting with me alone, and made another nurse the main manager to interact with coworkers Another one didn’t say anything for months then decided to try and fire me and give me everything I did wrong in one note. Half of it was stuff told to her by a single coworker who doesn’t think I fit into the clique. I was able to prove it wrong but it shook me massively Is this normal? Most of my coworkers are decent enough and patient care is fine. submitted by /u/Sensitive_Duck_3909

There were also homeschool fanatics saying 'thank God we homeschool. We could never.' First off, we teachers don't like the apps for grades, the apps for communication, etc. we don't like that we have to have four apps to get in contact with the parents. This is extra work for us, some of us have enough on our plate as it is. Second off, the reason why we have those apps is because we have to C.Y.A I now have to log the dates, minutes and topics when I contact parents on an app (the whole school had to do it, no
