I loved nursing school and loved precepting in the ER. Now that I’m a nurse i just kind of feel stupid. I feel like I’m just still waiting for someone to hang over my shoulder or to tell me what to do. I have no idea how to take any charge and do things myself. I’m terrified to do anything alone. I ask 8 billion questions before doing something as simple as giving a few pills in a cup to a patient. I feel like everyone else is a nurse and I’m just pretending to be one. I feel so dumb, i don’t know how to chart, i don’t know how to mix the meds, i don’t know the flow of anything. I just feel incompetent. I guess i just need to know if any others struggled this bad and if it ever gets better. submitted by /u/Ok_Preference_8804 [link] [comments]
I just got hired for my first teaching job with a local district after graduation. Upon getting the new hire paperwork, I saw that all of the health insurance plans offered are very expensive, and we’re not allowed to opt out. The lowest tier plan is $429 a month that will be deducted out of my paycheck — and I’ll only be making about 50k annually. I’m a young, single individual with no dependents. This seems absurd — is this normal? Located in rural Southern California by the way. Edit: Sorry, I confused a lot of people by saying I’m not allowed to “opt out” of the district plan. To clarify, if I am not covered by another insurance plan (via parents or spouse) and cannot prove it, as a full-time teacher with the district, I have no choice but to partake. submitted by /u/LaraArzt [link] [comments]

I am 37, a Registered Nurse working 36 hours a week, with a 3-year-old and a 20-month-old. I get 4 days off a week, but I am tired down to my bones. Every week, I try to wake up early on my days off to get a head start on chores or find time for myself, but my body literally refuses. My physical stamina is entirely gone, and I am completely lacking motivation. My husband is incredibly supportive and wants to help. However, I’m so burnt out that I don't even know how to direct him or structure our weeks anymore. I feel like my days off are just spent desperately trying to recover from my 12-hour shifts. For the moms who survived the toddler years while working a grueling physical job: How did you manage your time and sanity? How do you utilize a supportive partner when you're too tired to think? Do I just need to lower my standards and accept a messy house for now? Looking for realistic routine hacks, or just validation that this phase is as impossible as it feels. submitted by /u/Clean
PD is mid-August, and school starts at the end of August. Usually I spend July going through my curriculum and brainstorming refinements for next year (I'm under 10 years of teaching) but I'm frozen. I teach middle school, and last year was very frustrating and disillusioning for a variety of reasons, especially when it came to some student behavior issues and incidents. I want to want to get ready ASAP so I can soar next year, but I'm pretty discouraged, anxious, and pessimistic about next year. How do you all clear your head after a bad year so you're ready to kick butt in the fall? Is waiting until the first week of August to look at my curriculum responsible, or should I suck it up and soldier on? submitted by /u/khschook [link] [comments]

Whenever it's time to return to school from break, which I will do in two weeks, I find myself agitated and depressed. Granted, almost noone wants to work vs being able to have the freedom to do other things, but it's something I find that makes teaching difficult. It's hard going from having extra time, (and that's with my summer side gigs) , being able to eat decent lunches, not begin work at 7 am and not being in constant GO mode to being swamped at work. It's such a massive shift and I find myself getting overwhelmed, already, at the mental fatigue that is soon coming. Do you feel this as well? Have you found a way to better transition? submitted by /u/Embarrassed-Net-5899 [link] [comments]
Just watched this: https://youtube.com/shorts/mZ-cfamDkPg?si=ae\_kNZINsvawiNst And feel the same way. Help me understand WHY the students of this generation are so DESTRUCTIVE. I removed everything from my class for the upcoming year because the 8ths destroyed rocking chairs, scissors, markers, card games, fidgets. IT WAS MIND BLOWING the amount of vandalism and blatant destruction. I've noticed an uptick in this since COVID. And, I don't understand this shift. For 20 years, if a student broke something, there was remorse and half the time the family replaced the item. This isn't happening anymore. Help me understand the destruction these students are doing!!!! submitted by /u/walnutkot [link] [comments]
I am an adult hospice RN working for an agency with a small pediatric program. I work on-call with a small team and for one reason or another, all the peds patients live in a 2 mile radius from my house. I keep getting sent on peds visits. Every one of them sticks with me like a tattoo on my mind. I got sent to a elementary aged girl yesterday and when I saw her lying in her four poster bed in her hot pink room I totally lost it. I had to excuse myself and ask the parents for a tissue. I was able to regain composure after a moment and I was able to competently complete the visit. I obviously dont want the parents to feel like they have to comfort the nurse and I felt like I was choking back tears the whole time. Do you develop numbness after a while? Is there a different mindset shift that helps? I feel like I cant talk to anyone in my life about this because it's so devastatingly sad. Not doing these visits isnt an option, my coworkers all live 45-60 minutes away and I'm *right here.*
Six months in and I've consumed an embarrassing amount of free food that just appears in the break room. Someone on nights always leaves those little cheese and cracker packs. Day shift has an unspoken rule that whoever gets the last of the coffee makes a new pot or faces social exile. There's a nurse on my unit who brings in homemade tamales every time she picks up an extra shift, and at this point I think half the staff signs up just because of that. It got me thinking about how much of unit culture is built around food and these tiny rituals that nobody ever officially announced but everyone just knows. New grads catch on fast. You learn the charge nurse rotation and you learn the snack schedule, and somehow both feel equally important for survival. Does every floor have that one person who singlehandedly keeps morale alive with their Costco runs or slow cooker chili or whatever it is? Or is it more chaotic on some units where nobody does any of that and the break room is just sad g
The past few years, kindergarten has had a pretty awful meal schedule. Breakfast was from 9:00-9:20, and lunch was from 10:30-11:00. School didn’t end until 3:45, which left kids starving by the middle of the day. I implemented a daily snack time, but that came with a lot of issues. Way too many kids weren’t bringing anything for snack time on a regular basis. I let parents know the meal schedule at the start of the year and sent frequent reminders about snack time, but about 70% of the class still came with nothing. I stopped providing snacks myself because financially I just couldn’t do it anymore, so it became a huge hassle to try and have the kids save something from their breakfasts or lunches to have for later. The kids who did bring snacks brought chips, cookies, and other junk foods that caused their own kind of issue. I had to say no to candy and pop many times and find them a “school snack” instead. Breakfast and lunch are free for all students. Our school also has a fruit an

I mean to me, I feel as though something is wrong with that, especially in middle and high school. I live in a state where no incentives can be given for students to do well. If they perform poorly on the math and English, there are no lower of grades, no being held back, or no chance they won't graduate. It's like it's all on the teacher. A student could make straight A's and just push random choices on these exams and nothing happens except the teachers are told they aren't up to par. Our math is performing poorly in high school at our school and district wide. I think they either need to make standardized test scores a requirement for graduation or moving up a grade, or get rid of these tests completely. Maybe it's time for me to move on as well. Edit... I also feel like some people post on here that work for these companies like PSAT or STAR or other tests and will just say they are good no matter what. I agree it's money making. submitted by /u/MathMan1982 [link] [comments]
Honestly wasn't expecting my post to get so much attention. I read every comment, even if I couldn't reply to all of them. Update: The next day, the same 5 y/o repeated the comments. This time she also said that my name was "bad." Instead of ignoring it, I calmly started explaining that it's not kind to comment on other people's bodies or say hurtful things about them. By coincidence, our admin walked into my classroom while this was happening. She saw the interaction and later asked me to speak with the child's parent after school. I decided I needed to address it, so I spoke with her mother. The mother asked her daughter to apologize to me, but she refused. I'm not upset about that part. She's five. I don't think a forced apology from a child who doesn't really understand would have meant much anyway. Reading all of your comments made me realize something, that I'm not alone. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment, especially those who were kind. You turned what was one o
So I have been teaching HS math for 12 years in my building and the last two years the test scores on STAR/PSAT have been falling. This will be the third year we have had lower scores each year. There are no incentives whatsoever allowed in our district to be put on students to do well. If they perform poorly, they can't be held back or have their grades lowered. Our dept has done changes suggested by upper leaders like new curriculum and new strategies in the classroom. The other math teacher has lower scores as well I work with. It's a small school, public that mostly focuses on careers for students. Has any hs math teacher had to deal with this? I hear some other schools in the country are being "taken over" by agencies when this happens. I feel like that leads to increase micromanagement of what is being taught everyday and a good chunk of teachers look to get out. I was told this would be my last year in March if our test scores didn't improve in a nice way. I don't think badly of
Got a patient last night that arrived right before shift change. I was reviewing his labs from ER while waiting on the day nurse and saw the critical K/BG/pH and abnormal AGAP and immediately just felt this heavy dread and knew he’d be transferred almost immediately. He had hyperkalemia protocol meds and labs that were late and asked the day nurse if she’d grab a new BG on him at least since his last one was from hours ago just to get told she was only getting his vitals because she didn’t know anything about him 🧘 even though she got report from the ER and I’m *hoping* looked through his chart before he rolled up🧘 and after report she just left (it’s our standard that if you accept the patient from ER with meds/labs pending that you give them unless contraindicated bc you should’ve asked them to do them before sending) So after that I call the doctor about his labs because his repeat BG/K came back even worse and was immediately questioned why he was even on our floor and that they’d

Title is kind of clickbaity, so I’m sorry, but I didn’t know what else to title this without potentially triggering some folks. TRIGGER WARNING: Self injury mentioned. • • • • • So I’m a new art teacher, and I struggled with my mental health all throughout childhood and early adulthood. I have some noticeable self-inflicted scars on my forearms and upper arms. They’re already as faded and flat as they’re gonna get, so I think I have to figure out my day-to-day. I’ll be working with middle schoolers, so they’ll be old enough to understand if they see them. I wear cute cardigans and half sleeves to cover my upper arm scars, but my forearms are harder to cover up without wearing long sleeves year-round. Do I just exist as is and hope it doesn’t get brought up, or is that inappropriate? I’m also looking into tattoos, not just to hide scarring, but because I already have some ink I quite like and would like to add some more anyway. Long sleeves and suck it up? Although, with art, I’ll need

I was resistant for so long. Tried it before and I hated the feeling of anything on my face/head, hated it constantly falling off. Thought I didn’t need it because I had black out curtains. Tried all the other tricks (regular routine, small meal, hot shower, melatonin, magnesium, unisom, benadryl, trazadone, white noise, etc). Finally decided to give the sleep mask another chance this week, and wtf, it’s a miracle. I still wake up periodically, but the sleep I’m getting feels so much more restful. I can actually feel myself able to completely relax my eyes, which I can’t do with blackout curtains alone. So, yes, you were all right, the sleep mask is super helpful for day sleeping. submitted by /u/ahrumah [link] [comments]
A patient I had in the ED called the house supervisor to report me after stating that I do not have any compassion. This pt in particular was already upset that she had to come back into the ED. She complained about numerous things such as: I didn’t make any eye contact with her (while trying to start and IV and get labs), that I didn’t stop when she said it hurt (wasn’t moving the catheter, just finishing up getting blood), and that when it infiltrated that I kept flushing and didn’t apologize (which I pulled it out immediately). This has me upset due to the fact that she called the house supervisor and the charge nurse. I had gotten pulled aside twice to talk about the incident by both of them. I was met with “Patient satisfaction is out top priority”. What do you think I could have done differently to achieve a different outcome? Or maybe the outcome would have been the same regardless.

Sorry in advance for the long post. Feeling like a bad teacher rn and could use some advice. I’m teaching English 12 in summer school (BC, Canada) and my students were working on a 5 paragraph in-class essay assignment this week. I originally planned to give them one day (about 3.5 hours) to plan and draft the essay, and 2 hours of the next day’s class to edit and type up their good copy. They did not know the exact essay question in advance to prevent AI use, but I gave them MANY hints, we talked about the topic thoroughly in class, and they were allowed to have their essay writing notes, their novel chapter summaries with important quotes/notes, and all of their annotated sources with them. I took away their phones while they were writing. The question essentially asked them to synthesize evidence from 3 sources discussed in class to write about a common theme among them (the question specified the theme I wanted them to write about). On writing day they were given a rubric that we w
Hello! I am a mid career stem worker who somewhat recently became a mom and the upending of my life has made me reconsider if I’m happy with my career. My local community college has an amazing fast-track to teaching license for those willing to teach stem topics and the program has a great reputation.

I am not a morning person and am used to positions where I get in to an office at 930. So my question is, are all teachers morning people? Do you struggle with getting up and to school?

I started tutoring this little boy at the end of May. I started by getting him to read a book to me, just one of those little easy books with mostly CVC words. he couldn’t read at all. He could make letter sounds, that’s it. I would tell him how to say a word, then he wouldn’t know by the time we got to the next sentence. This poor kid didn’t even know the alphabet. But on math, he does just fine so I don’t even focus on that at all. I am finally seeing some progress with him. He’s able to identify some CVC words and I’m so relieved. I see him twice a week for half an hour each time because he gets restless. He still can’t sing the alphabet correctly though. I have little word building cards and will make a word like “sit” and I ask him what it says. He just looks and me and says I don’t know. It’s so frustrating because he won’t sound it out unless I do it for him. I try so hard to avoid sounding it out for him so that he can learn to do it himself. It’s either him telling me he doesn

As the title states. I ran into this lovely comment by this lovely individual. I get that NPs and CRNAs don't get the same amount of training as MDs do, but that doesn't mean they're incompetent. This whole thread is full of medical students and MDs trashing NPs and CRNAs. What is funny to me is I've met MDs who can't run a code or even read basic EKG strips.

Hello all, I’m about to start year 6 of teaching and have a newly one year old son. I am also a single mom, who lives with my parents. As a single woman before having my son, my teaching salary didn’t seem that big of a deal. I could afford my share of rent, could pay my bills, could spend some money on fun, and put some in savings. This year I’ll be making more than I have previously (around 54k) but in no world can I ever move out of my parent’s house now that I’m a single mom. How are y’all making ends meet? I so badly want to get a place of our own (our living situation here isn’t always the best) but it seems absolutely impossible.

I am going into my 3rd year as a math teacher and have a ton of anchor charts and posters of things to hang up on my walls.

I am an alternative licensure music teacher and I was non-renewed last school year and it was really complicated. It was for a few reasons: The position was being cut from full time to part time. I taught Pre-K through 12th grade (one planning btw). The secondary music program was cut leaving only a part time primary music position They didn't want me for this part time position because due to the heinous crime of me being trans, about a third of the elementary kids were pulled by their parents from my class. Admin allowed this, and the kids spent their music specials somewhere else doing literally nothing. I also have no formal training in education, and they provided very little support in learning classroom management. I had to teach myself and made a lot of mistakes just as any novice would. There was no instructional coach, and my alternative licensure class didn't involve any observation at all. So yeah, I was kind of bad at the thing nobody taught me to do or offered me any help
LVN on a telemetry unit, had to sit for a patient that was combative and confused last night, they eventually were restrained. This 87 year old man is going through it. So I had a lot of empathy for him. He was completely coherent throughout the day, was sweet even. Removed the restraints. Around 1500 he started getting agitated and confused. Calling family members and stating we are kidnapping him. Attempting to get out of bed with his booted feet. The whole shebang. Placed one restraint as he’s cursing, screaming and trying to flail around. As I went to put the other, he starts getting louder, “Get your f* hands off me b*!” Pulls the restraint with all his little old man strength and swung. Right in the nose. He looks at me and says, “I’m sorry sweetie it had to be done.” I quickly finish and I’m standing there completely flabbergasted. And I just say “Wow, okay” his final response was “i just had to teach out a lesson hunny!” I love my job but this just made me so upset. Top it off

I've been teaching for almost 10 years and I think the worst thing is when you have a student with no issue other than their parents have created a monster.

This little girl who has everything going for her, but her parents can't give a damn enough to discipline her or enforce any type of rule or restriction or even just tell her "No and that's not changing." She has no ability to handle herself when she is doing an activity she doesn't want to, and if she doesn't get her way it is a mythical tantrum.

Life Wise is coming to my community this fall. They are advertising that they will be located at a church across the street from one of our elementary schools. Here’s what I have been able to gather from the little bit I have found online, as their own Facebook group lacks actual specifics: - Bible education during the school day one time per month - students leave school for a character lesson using Bible stories, get a prize or treat, then go back to school - not scheduled during instructional time - completely free/privately funded They were in a local parade recently and had a booth at a community event, and now they’re gaining traction on social media. Even some current and former teachers (smh) are supportive, and there are faith leaders who are questioning this program. I’m trying to wrap my head around how any parent would agree to this.

Putting together a proposal to a run a trial in the district to return to physical scantrons (and blue books). The district's been on 1:1 devices for so long that I'm having a hard time getting someone to tell me about the "good old days" of the physical bubble sheets and machine graders.

TLDR: How are students performing academically in Republican states? I’m a high school teacher in a Democratic state. Over the past few years, student performance has declined significantly. Some factors contributing to this issue include school districts lowering expectations, administrators passing students despite low skill levels, excessive phone use, social media distractions, etc. However, I personally think that declining student performance is a nationwide problem, not just one affecting Democratic states. I have some relatives who are well educated but are also radical Republicans. They tend to blame everything on the Democratic system. They’ll say things like, “Democratic states only focus on teaching kids woke nonsense like respecting gay or Black people. They’re brainwashing kids and distracting them from learning life skills or academic subjects. It’s not like that in Republican states.” I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

Hi all, I'm a first-year teacher in the french curriculum starting this fall, and I'll be teaching a mandatory course called "Enseignement Scientifique" (Scientific Studies) to every general-track senior (terminale, ~17-18 years old), not an elective, everyone takes it regardless of their major. It's unusual in that it deliberately mixes physics, biology, and math/stats content within the same course, organized around three big themes: - Theme 1 — Science, Climate, and Society (atmosphere & life, the climate system, the climate of the future) - Theme 2 — The Future of Energy (electrical energy history, energy conversion/transport, energy & development choices) - Theme 3 — A History of Living Things (biodiversity & evolution, evolution as a way of reading the world, human evolution, demographic models, from Turing machines to AI) I want to open every lesson with something fun and short (~5 min) to hook students before diving into the actual content, like alternating between a recent sci
I work 2 weeks of days 2 weeks of nights (boooo I know, don’t have to tell me it SUCKS.) I am very consistent on working out on my days but nights affects my sleep so much that I fall off when I work nights. When should I workout? Before a couple in a row I will work out BEFORE I go in at 7. But in between shifts I am really tired. Suggestions? It’s a hard battle of prioritizing sleep/rest vs. fitness. I’m exhausted after a 12hr night but at the same time when I wake up I find it hard to feel energetic enough to gym. I am so groggy. But I always still do yoga and some sort of cardio to get movement in. On days I usually go around lunch time so I struggle with finding a good time to go on my nights, as I hate dinner time rush etc…maybe I will have to start going much later in the evenings? 9, 10, 11? submitted by /u/Head-Lawyer3080 [link] [comments]
I was a medic for close to 30 years before transitioning to nursing due to an injury 4 years ago. I finally found a position with a set schedule (q Sunday, Monday, Tuesday night in PACU) I cannot imagine why anyone would want the schedule chaos that most nursing positions face. submitted by /u/Medic_RN1847 [link] [comments]
