Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
Y'all. I just need to vent for a minute. Background: my hospital has an annual survey we all have to complete. This year, the "would you recommend this hospital to family and friends" question got terribly low scores. Basically all the staff said absolutely not. Now, this is after months of layoffs including educators, managers, most of the transport staff, and secretaries. One whole department got dissolved and they were all walked out with security. So in typical nursing fashion - who is picking up the slack? Who's answering phones and doing paperwork without secretaries? Who's leaving their units to transport patients around the hospital? Nursing. We're doing it all on top of our already painfully short staffing and bad ratios. The hospital's solution? HRO training - "teaching teams in high-risk fields like healthcare and aviation how to minimize errors and achieve zero harm through standardized safety behaviors." A hospital wide paid 2 hour training that teaches us how to prevent m
Did you know? School Shootings (in the US) aren't an epidemic because we don't have 9000 per year? MOST people who show up at a school with a gun aren't going to use it (so get over it) You PROBABLY won't die if you make it at least 90 seconds during an active shooter incident, but don't expect the cops to arrive anytime soon. I don't know if I'm overrreacting but this is the most disturbing thing I've ever been 'trained' on and the overall feeling is extremely unpleasant. See for yourself. Thanks, 'vector'. Myths about Active Shooters EDIT: There are zero references in this thing and if you ask they refuse unless you have legal reasons. So they can actually say anything they want and we're just supposed to accept that it is true. submitted by /u/i_am_13_otters [link] [comments]
Hi, I’m really not sure how to even word this or go through it but I’ve gotten emails from two schools now (one today and one about 3 weeks ago) saying that I was missing parts of my application that I submitted in May. I fully had everything in by the end of the month and have screenshots and emailed confirmations to prove it. I don’t understand if this is something I’m doing wrong or just oversights on their ends and to be honest I’m really frustrated. I submitted very early on purpose and now 3 months have passed where my application wasn’t considered despite it being complete a while ago. Has anyone else experienced this? I have gotten accepted to another program in the cycle so I know it’s not an overall application issue and I’ve confirmed my applications with some of the other schools I applied to I’m just a bit at a loss. I submitted early on purpose and now it feels like that was a waste. submitted by /u/okayperformance121 [link] [comments]
I work 6:30p-7a on acuity adaptable and just got bumped up to 4 patients (our ratio is 1:4). Im in my 5th week of orientation. My preceptor comes in at 6 every shift to look through everyone’s H&P/orders and write down everything she needs before report. She’s been telling me I should come in early too so I can have all of that done and be in my patients rooms by 7. The problem is we don’t get paid for that 30 minutes and I genuinely do not want to start coming into work at 6 every single shift just so I can stay ahead. I want to be able to get into a routine where I’m able to get report, see my patients and review H&P/orders without coming in early. I just don’t know how to get that time management down since my preceptor does it differently. Am I being stubborn about this? Do you guys actually come in 30 mins early to look through charts or do you just get report and figure everything out from there? submitted by /u/LowNight6469 [link] [comments]

Just got off a 12 hour shift and my mom (retired doctor) told me she’s starting to get annoyed with the nursing strikes and that it’s “too much.” A little context, she used to work for Kaiser and she’s specifically referring to the Kaiser strikes. I snapped a bit, told her “what do you want me to do about it? Maybe you guys should unionize too!” (But I know that it’s more complicated for doctors to strike and unionize). I understand that doctors are also overworked, have their struggles, and deserve better work conditions but dang Mom sounds like you’re resentful (is that the correct word I’m looking for…?). Anyways, direct your anger towards admin! I wish we can all team up and fight for better workplace conditions for everyone in healthcare. It sucks that healthcare is pretty much all about business :/ submitted by /u/Lumpy_Tonight_393 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, How are you? Teacher of 20 years here - all in middle school Science. I still like my job, but am getting a bit tired. I am wondering for those teachers who have taught over a decade, what can you say has "changed". (I use 10 years as it encompasses pre and post covid). Part of me says that middle schoolers have always been middle schoolers. Wacky, forgetful, funny, random, etc. However, I would say that: Behavior management has become almost 60% of my job. And not because students are necessarily poorly behaved or mean, but because of the lack of self management/lack of situational awareness. Constant touching, making noises, getting up, etc. The touching, especially between middle school boys. And it's not playfighting, it's like...this constant touching of heads, grabbing books, pushing against one another. Lack of realizing routines and remembering them. Every day we start the same way in class. Every day they ask what to do. Parents. Definitely taking a student's sid
This is my first year teaching all honors students, and the difference in behaviors is noticeable. In the past, most of my students were several grade levels below. While my classroom management improved each year, even at my best, I'd feel like I needed to constantly monitor the class or else chaos would erupt. I'd avoid assigning group projects except on rare occasions because many kids would end up wandering around, arguing, or just avoiding the work. Today, I assigned a group project, and except for a handful of kids, everyone was on task and contributing. I even had one group decide to split into two groups to avoid any arguments, and I was like, "They problem-solved without me needing to step in." Obviously, kids will be kids, and there are still times when I need to step in or redirect students, but it's so much less than what I was doing before. I've been wondering why each day feels so much quicker, and I think it's because I rarely have to deal with the behaviors I was dealin
Soooooooo I have had three separate instances with the MAs at the clinic, and it's not for "small snd silly" reasons, like clinically these MAs need more training. The first time I don't exactly remember what she did, but it was somrthing with vitals and her not having any clinical understanding of what those vitals mean. So I immediately told my PCP who said she would take care of it when she came in. That same MA in a separate visit was asking me what I do, I said I was doing some travel nursing. The MA said, "Oh, I did travel nursing as well!" I kept my mouth shut, and have been sitting on telling the clinic until the newest problem. I had to get a skin TB test and she first of all freaked out about my tattoos and she didn't know where to place it. I disclosed to her I am a RN and she can place it on a spot on my arm. She decided to ask the clinic RN (I'm not judging this part, like I actually want someone to verify placement if she isn't sure!) Who came in, checked my arm, touched
So I’m not sure how the culture got started that every piece of communication needs to go through the bedside nurse, but it needs to stop. The other day I get a patient up from the ED. The first thing she does is hand me her insurance card and tells me the registration lady couldn’t figure out how to upload it into the computer so she told the patient to give it to the nurse when she got upstairs and have us handle it. Like, are you fucking kidding me? My job is to care for people from a medical standpoint, not spend my very limited time troubleshooting computer issues that are in no way affiliated with my role. Just because I CAN figure things out, does not mean I’m Mr. Fix It every time an issue arises in the hospital. And this type of offloading of work exists has wormed its way into every discipline in healthcare. Doctors messaging me things to message other doctors instead of just doing it themselves. Kitchen staff calling because a diabetic patient wants an extra piece of cake. P

I am so sick of having to read and mark essays that have clearly been written using AI. I'm at the point where I have to take a break between every essay because I get so livid. Kids are turning in essays that 1) don't sound like them AT ALL and 2) look pretty but say very little. The AI use is even more obvious because the essay topic used a resource that will have very little research material out there, so all of these essays are coming up with the same (wrong, so very wrong) points. And then when it comes time to practice analysis in class or write a poetry test these kids can't answer anything because they've become used to simply being given the answers, and what's more frustrating is that I know they can do it, they've just learned to lose faith in themselves! My department is getting to the point where we aren't going to allow the use of devices for assessments because of this, yet this still likely isn't going to be enough to curb AI use. submitted by /u/tabrises [link] [comme
I was told this was the perfect work/life balance. It. Is. NOT!! There are 3 nurses for this specific company. One of those nurses is out for a month so it’s 2 of us left. We have to take their caseload. On top of that we’ve had at LEAST 5 admissions within 7 days. I have a patient who’s on ACT so there’s a daily visit on top of my caseload and NEW admissions. I had to work on an admission last night until 7pm!! That’s 4hrs of work. Admissions are NOT short. On top of that I have IDG notes to complete on 11 patients, 6 of which are recerts. Those are ALSO not short narratives. Not to mention I’m on call tonight. Then it’s constant admissions with no help. My manager told me “it’s all about time management” EXCUSE ME?! How about we stop admitting all of these people with 2 nurses on board. That’s almost 35 patients divided between 2 and more to come. Then manager says “our sales team is doing a great job”. By burning everyone else out. We have no help!! I hate it here so much. There is
There’s a lot of talk in here lately about correct charting and what that means. We’re taught this is nursing school but when you work in a hospital sometimes you’re taught incorrect charting habits. For example, in my ICU they encourage that you chart your assessments at 0800, 1200, and 1600 even when if you have two patients. I tend to chart in real time (0800 assessment for pt 1, 0845 assessment for pt 2) because I want my charting to tell a story if I were to be disposed (I saw pt 1 first and pt 2 second, clearly due my charting instead of charting both at 0800). I’m looking for good rules that help us discern bad habits being taught at hospitals vs what actually serves us in court. I’m not looking for “chart as much as possible” here because sometimes my shifts can be insane. Insights from nurses who have been deposed or from legal nurse consultants are ideal. Thank you! Edit: I appreciate the answers so far, thank you. I particularly appreciate all of the conflicting advice. I th
Without getting into details, I am currently being investigated at my workplace for an incident which absolutely did not happen in the manner alleged. I know that there is documentation in the chart that reflects my version of events because I charted it . Other coworkers that night also documented what they saw.

Like genuinely no matter how much I readjust the tourniquet there’s no fkn way I’m feeling anything still. I get really discouraged because I eventually want to move to a unit that regularly starts IVs, I work with generally stable pts, so it’s not often we get to start IVs.

Why It Matters: The rule would have let the Education Secretary disqualify employers found to engage in activities with a "substantial illegal purpose". One of the big focuses of the lawsuits was that the language was based on the administration's policy priorities about immigration, gender-affirming care, and DEl programs rather than settled criminal law. Teachers, nurses, and nonprofit workers faced losing credit toward forgiveness if their employer was cut from the program. This would include major non-profit University Medical Centers, and end contracts many Nurses entered into to reach PSLF after 10 years of payments while working for a qualifying facility. How day they target Nurses who have worked for years to achieve this changed employers to achieve this. Earned this benefit. Yet wealthy people qualified for PPP loans they didn’t have to pay back? No I’m sorry, this is political and they’re weaponizing the DOE against us. This is unacceptable. submitted by /u/CodeGreige [link]

I was subbing at a new school today. Despite not having a uniform and having a very loose dress code, nearly every single female student was wearing the same thing. Light-to-medium wash baggy/wide leg jeans, plain black tee shirt, and neutral colored sneakers. It was a little bewildering seeing the hundreds of students exiting and having near-complete color coordination. (It’s a choir teacher’s dream, ngl) I don’t recall this level of conformity back when I was in school. Elementary doesn’t have this same colorless pattern to fashion; kids are still just as vibrant and unique in their choices as ever. I haven’t been paying attention to Gen Alpha fashion whatsoever, so seeing the outfit uniformity replicated in each class was surprising. I saw zero skirts or dresses. No graphic tees. Colorful ensembles? Zilch. Even the male students were mostly in black tees and jeans, minus the few wearing white. Accessories were limited to maybe a hoop nose ring or a single necklace. Hair also seemed

How do I care less and not let things affect me? Most things at my job don’t affect me, but lately I feel like they are. I am freshly back from maternity leave, but not a new mother. In the past month I’ve had a couple incidents where I just can’t get over them. Essentially I was gas lit by the doctor, I was catching all of the signs for my pt declining as soon as I got them, they would not order anything, tried to tell me the pt was previously like that when they were not, and he ended up dying overnight. I can’t even look at that doctor without feeling anger. My coworkers bring it up and I can’t even talk about the situation without feeling emotional. I then admitted a patient that was a huge safety risk, I brought it up to the higher ups, nobody did anything and an extremely traumatizing code white happened days later. The higher ups claimed they were unaware of the patients history, despite me bringing it up to their faces. I don’t know why I am feeling things so deeply lately and

I'm a 37 year old male in my second year of an ADN program. Last week during clinical I was able to be a part of a C-section. I was completely blown away by watching a baby being born and had such a strong emotional response to it that I wasn't expecting. I don't have any of my own children yet. I had no idea I was going to have that type of emotional response to it. It was such a beautiful experience and doing an assessment on a newborn, seeing their eyes lock with mine while they grasped my fingers made me realize how precious a new life is and how lucky I felt to be there that day to help care for them in the first few hours of life. Today I was paired up with a labor and delivery nurse who has been graduated from the same program I am in for about a year and half now. We had a G2P0 in labor. She was 6/70/-2 when I came on at 7am. She had no problem with me being there and had an epidural before I came on this morning. Her husband was there as well and I was kind of surprised becaus
So for some context, I started teaching last semester in second grade in January and ended in May. I had only 12 students and it was a bit rough at the start but I ended up getting the hang of it. This year I stayed in second grade but now I have 28 students and I cannot manage their behavior at all. Admin has already talked to me about classroom management and being consistent but I have tried for the past 3-4 weeks and nothing has changed much. I have a lot of talkers and those who love standing up. I am Texas so it’s a new curriculum but the stress is what is getting me.

This is my second year teaching, and it’s also my second year at the school where I work. It’s a very small school/district—small enough that we don’t have a principal or dean of students. It’s a PreK–8th grade school, and we recently had an admin change. Our superintendent is supposed to be handling all of our disciplinary actions, and he has someone else who is supposed to help him with some of the paperwork. However, he’s hiding in his office all day and refusing to help discipline kids. He’s trying to have the person who is supposed to help with paperwork handle the disciplinary actions, even though legally she cannot do that. What does that mean? The middle schoolers I work with as a history teacher are receiving basically no discipline for their actions. What’s worse is that they’ve already run the English teacher off in the second week because there was no discipline, and admin is allowing parents to just come in and cuss the teachers out. We have no support whatsoever, and the
2nd grade teacher, some students are using the calm down corner to sit out most of the period. I ask them what's wrong, how they are feeling, and they give harrumph shrug shoulder answers. Short of dragging them to the carpet or their desk, which I would never do, I can't do anything. I don't feel like it's a big enough issue to be calling the dean of students. So tomorrow I am integrating this "consequence": after 10 minutes in the calm down corner you must be feeling so bad that we need to call your parents during recess/specials (depending on the time of day). Is this fair? I don't like having a calm down corner (whole other topic) because things like this happen too often but I have to have one. submitted by /u/Peanuts676767 [link] [comments]

So I am totally panicking - I have entered all 6 of my transcripts where I took academic courses and my prerequisite courses. I have not uploaded a transcript from a community college where I took my CMA certification course and my community college will not send out these records except by mail - and my deadline for schools is tomorrow.

What my real question is - is that this course resulted in certificates as in a CEU course, no credit hours, no grade - only Satisfactory or Non-satisfactory. From what I see online - barely any guidance on this issue - is that this is not an academic transcript and does not need to be sent to CASPA for the transcript entry portion of my application.

I GOT A JOB! I'm moving from a charter to public school -- just got the official offer (via phone and email from HR) this afternoon. Seeking some advice on the best way to resign my current position. I know they'll be upset given the timing, but I want to minimize that as much as is in my power. Key points: My current job is in in-service -- students return after Labor Day. New job is in a district where students have already resumed school. New job has two orientation options coming up -- tomorrow and next Tuesday. I still need to complete fingerprints; HR says I could be in the classroom by 9/9 (written job offer has start date as 9/8). Should I... Call out of current job and go to new job orientation tomorrow? Go in to current job in person tomorrow to resign, turn in/pick up my things, and give notice? Contact my principal tonight, then send a formal resignation email to HR? (I'll have to return at some point in person to turn in/pick up things). Giving a longer notice seems like a
