So, after many promises last year of admin saying they will ensure I have an actual yearbook class, working my ass off to build up a program I was not experienced in, and getting tons of kids passionate about making a yearbook I was presented with two yearbook classes…. That are filled with kids who did not take the prerequisites to get into yearbook. Half these kids I don’t know and they let in others who barely passed the first time around. They kicked out one of my editors and all 4 of my experienced seniors I was going to put in leadership positions. Leaving me with 1 junior and 4 sophomores who have never done yearbook but took the pre requisites that can do work and then 20 random students I can do nothing with. I gave them a list of 21 kids who had proved themselves responsible and capable who all confirmed with me that they were so excited to be in the class and had made the yearbook before. evidently that did not matter whatsoever. I was sent the disappointing rosters in email

Preferably middle school teachers. I am a middle school elective teacher, but kids can’t choose my class. Students are assigned to my class in random. There are very little elective classes available in my middle school which I find so odd. When I was in middle school, we had home ec, workshop, drama, language classes, etc that we could choose to take. However, my current middle school does not have any of those offerings. I know a lot depends on funding, but the district I work at is definitely not low on funding and the middle school I went to was not in a wealthy area. What gives? I am just wondering if this is the new norm and would love to hear about different middle schools. submitted by /u/mpteach [link] [comments]
Obviously HIPAA is super important but does anyone else feel like it’s really just used to punish and intimidate nurse more than it’s actually used for its intended purpose. God forbid you talk too loudly at the nurses station about “the patient in 5”, but somehow answering phone calls and giving out patient info is ok because someone said they are the patient’s relative? Even with the “pass code” system. Okay so a creative family member got the code and then were given PHI over the phone… how is that our fault? What about the hallway beds in the ER are HIPAA compliant? Or the curtained off exam rooms for that matter? I’m annoyed that a nurse can get in trouble for going into the patient’s room for a regular med pass. Let me explain. If the patient has a visitor, the onus is on the nurse to ask the patient if it is okay to discuss medical things in front of said visitor. And then the nurse can still get in trouble if the patient didn’t feel comfortable asking their own visitor to leave
Was just thinking about my sociology teacher and how much respect I do have for her , when i was fucking up the most in year 12, she was the one who rewired my brain and put me back into accountability and was a teacher that I truly appreciated for being honest, but actually considerate with how its given- but with all the demands and mundanity of marking. How on earth do you guys manage? submitted by /u/ForwardAd3970 [link] [comments]
This will be my 8th year as a co-teacher. I've had 5 co-teachers since the start, and the majority of them have been great to work with. We work well together, plan well, deal with behaviors somewhat well (as much as we can, etc.) and it was an overall good experience. This year, that all may change. Our school has a big change in schedule as far as teachers moving subjects and new teachers coming in. So I expected a change in my schedule already. But what I didn't expect was who I would be paired with this year. To keep it short, I have not heard great things about her. I don't know the specifics, but the 3 SPED co-teachers she was with in the last 2 years have told me to "be prepared - she needs a LOT of support". The students walk all over her. The class is chaos when the other co-teachers aren't in the room. The co-teachers have to deal with behaviors most of the time because she doesn't know how to control the classroom. She never planned lessons with the SPED co-teachers. She wou

This will be my 19th year in education. I’ve taught elementary, middle school, high school, and college. I’ve been fortunate enough to win Faculty of the Year a couple of times, including at the state level, and I’ve also left schools mid-year because they weren’t the right fit. Before all of that, I spent ten years in the Army. Maybe that’s why I don’t buy the idea that *one thing* is going to save education. Every few years we get a new silver bullet: Whole Language. Balanced Literacy. Science of Reading. AI. Rigor. Engagement. Relationships. Whatever the buzzword of the moment happens to be. Here’s what I’ve learned: kids are gloriously inconvenient. I’ve seen kindergarteners who thrive with rich, authentic reading experiences. I’ve also worked with community college technical writing students who desperately needed explicit phonics and even phonemic awareness. Dogma makes for good conference keynotes, but not always good teaching. The kids in front of us should drive the instructio
I backdoor-ed my way into teaching. I’m also an athletic trainer and our principal approached me a few years back asking if I was interested in teaching sports medicine. I remember those first several days/weeks the feelings of anxiousness, nervousness, and feeling like I was drinking from a firehose and wondering what I’d gotten myself into because I had zero background in education. So, all that to say, if I can figure it out, you can too! More than happy to help anyone who feels overwhelmed or nervous just starting out. So as we in the Deep South get started in the next three weeks, know that what you’re feeling is not abnormal! Maybe, like me, education wasn’t your background or your initial plans but you found yourself here anyway. It’s the best decision I ever made. submitted by /u/RiverSuch7856 [link] [comments]
I'm just curious because I recently heard of a 22 weeker being admitted. My niece was born at barely 25 weeks after a placental abruption and is now 12 with many developmental delays and challenges in her life. She is the sweetest girl and I'm so glad she's with us. I am not a NICU mom, or a NICU nurse, just a concerned Aunt (and trauma RN) that was up there every day and saw the saw the heroic efforts of the nurses and staff. These babies struggle so much, and our technology is getting so advanced. Is there a point where it is unethical to pursue life prolonging measures when the quality of life is so uncertain? My niece is doing fairly well now and can eat on her own and doesn't use oxygen anymore, but does require assistance with ADLs and other basic tasks. I can't imagine being a parent in that position, but have been thinking about this a lot, especially as our reproductive rights laws change. submitted by /u/dopaminegtt [link] [comments]
One thing I've really learned throughout my years in the classroom is how a quick thank you can shift the vibe of the classroom. Obviously, it doesn't make up for having an actual classroom management system, but it can be a powerful shift in the moment. For example, if the class comes in a little rowdy, saying a quick thank you to those following expectations can quickly get more kids on task. If you notice that only 5 out of 30 students are on task, saying thank you to the ones who are on task will get a few more students focused. It's something students really crave, positive acknowledgement. There still needs to be consequences for major things, but "thank you" can help get most kids focused and on task. submitted by /u/Consistent-Row-9551 [link] [comments]
Midwest teacher here, kindergarten. Summer PD for me starts tomorrow and then school in 2 weeks. I love summer break as a teacher. It feels like I’m a kid again and I don’t have to worry about work or money and now it’s over and I’m just so sad.

I want to start off by saying I mean absolutely no disrespect. The general public is already nasty enough towards us…the last thing I want to do is cause a rift between us nurses. We have a tough job that doesn’t get the respect it deserves…but I really need to get this off my chest. I’ve been a peds ER nurse for 12 years now, and worked straight nights for close to 6 years. Due to some family issues, I went back to a rotating schedule. I don’t think I really thought this through. Let me also say, I’ve known some of these nurses for 5+ years, and they’ve always been pleasant towards me when giving report. But I wasn’t prepared for the nastiness and clique nature between my day shift colleagues. The pettiness is just bizarre. Just in the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard of numerous rumors being spread. Just yesterday, there was a group 20-something year old nurses talking about one nurse who found out she was pregnant. The one nurse says “I wonder who the father is” and the entire group

So I want to start off by clarifying that I do think PBIS is a crock of shit and you should not be rewarded for doing the bare minimum!! but I want to try having little shout out tickets this year in like a raffle jar for each class and just randomly pulling names whenever I feel like.

Disclaimer: I love almost all of my NICU families and really enjoy supporting them in any way that I can. I am not hating on NICU parents; we've just had a recent influx of parents who are impossible to please and I could use a laugh. I'll go first: The dayshift nurse put a pacifier in my patient's bed. When my shift began, the baby was sleeping soundly, so I just sat it off to the side. There is nothing in the chart that says the baby cannot have a paci. Parents come in for care time, notice the paci, and mom loses her mind. "WHO GAVE THAT TO HIM? DID YOU GIVE THAT TO HIM? WHY DOES HE HAVE THAT? I WANT TO KNOW WHO DID THAT!" I just threw it away and said I would make a note in the chart. I got "fired" by a dad because I asked if he would like to learn how to change the baby's diaper. Baby was barely 36 weeks and had just been moved to an open crib. We had the baby dressed in a onesie and a sleeper. Dad was mad that we had baby dressed in layers because it made it "too hard" to change

I’ve been asked a few times to come in over summer for unpaid work. Looking to see if I’m so confused because of a generational difference. Key details: - Admin are paid through summer, I am not (paycheck is for 10 months) - I taught summer school so I am already on the only two weeks I’ve really had off -The first time was for 10 hours over two days and we didn’t find out it was unpaid until we got there. - I was asked to come in for an hour to speak to some summer students which would involve me putting my son in daycare and traveling 40 mins round trip My mom was a teacher and principal and is of the opinion that it’s a way to show you are part of the team and get better evaluations, but I just want to be an English teacher. I have 0 aspirations to be in leadership, but somehow being “just a teacher” isn’t making sense to anyone but me… I appreciate that they see so much in me and rely on me, but I want to set boundaries around unpaid work. How would you go about this? Am I missing
When I was a baby nurse they hired me in a small ICU unit with no experience. I worked nights and we didn’t have any intensivists or pulmonologists in the unit so if someone needed to be intubated it was a call to anesthesia and someone on call would come. It was always a stranger that didn’t have any rapport with our unit really. One night we had to page for anesthesia and they came up and asked me for the “time and date” I’m like what are you asking me that for, I told her the information and she looked at me like the idiot I was and said ETOMIDATE.

The move came not long after the city's nurses went on strike and won a three-year contract. It's also led to warnings about the quality of care the AI will offer. According to the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the layoffs, made by the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, were a direct result of the AI-powered software provided by Datavant. Montefiore described it as a nonclinical program that helps facilitate the paperwork process. The software replaces 12 utilization review nurses who examine patient records and demon

I'm finishing my first year as a middle school ELA teacher, but my goal has always been to teach high school ELA. I applied for high school positions when I was hired, but middle school was the opportunity that came up. I've been applying again this hiring season, but I haven't had much luck. Is one year of teaching experience usually not enough to move into a high school position? Do most districts expect you to spend a few years in your first position before making that move? I do have previous teaching experience overseas, although it was in ESL, so I'm not completely new to teaching. For those of you who started in middle school, how long did it take before you were able to move to high school? Or is it just a tough market right now? submitted by /u/Motor-Specific-3516 [link] [comments]
In my 20’s I left behind teaching Elementary Art after getting my first job in Detroit. I was so unprepared for the experience despite being fresh out of college and very eager to make a difference in the field. I panicked after a few months and left. I went back into Graphic Design and then Veterinary Medicine and didn’t look back until now. I’m 48 and still have some years left to work before I’d even consider retiring and I do like working with kids. I believe I’m still passionate about teaching kids art. most of all my maturity and life experiences have molded me to be better equipped to handle teaching than when I was in my 20s.

Hey folks, I am a 27-year-old dude in NC with a couple of degrees in filmmaking. Apparently, I qualify to teach English because of the exorbitant amount of creative writing courses I took. I have no experience teaching k12 (outside of a couple of days subbing), nor a teaching degree. That said, the profession does interest me (I was looking to be a professor when I went to grad school), and I see a need in my community. Recently, I applied to a few schools in my area, and I now have an interview in 2 days for an 8th grade ELA teacher position.

I'm on a new unit and so am fairly unfamilar with my new manager. I am also not loving the switch and already thinking about leaving. Just some background. Last week, I worked two shifts where I did not get a lunch break; one was during my regularly scheduled shift and none of the three of us working were able to take a break. The other time, I was working a different, later shift than I normally do, so planned to take my break later but I ended up getting sent home early for low census. I just today noticed that my manager added a 30-minute break into that latter shift, as if I had ultimately left the hospital a half an hour later than I did. I feel like this is the last straw for me in a new job that I have not been loving, but other than getting tf out, should I act on this? The funny thing is that I had been planning on adding a break in there just to not getting a "talking to" about it (and because technically I did have the opportunity to take a break about 3-4 hours in but had a

As a younger teacher I want these kids to take me seriously. As a first year I was too lenient. How do I set my expectations day 1 to let the students know they can’t take advantage of me because I’m young and new? I had a problem class this past year, and as the year went on I got so much more confident. It was much easier to handle behavior. I want to be channeling that all year. I know it’s a learning curve and I’m still pretty inexperienced. I was thinking I want to establish some basic ground rules (like core 4 rules or something) that represent my personal expectations without being overwhelming. I know if u start out too lenient it is almost impossible to walk it back. Obviously I still want to come across as kind. I love working with high schoolers. I want them to have a positive experience, b
Would you choose comfort or experience as a nurse? I’m a nurse working in home care in the Middle East, and I’ve been struggling with some regret over a recent decision. For the past 2 years, I had a bedridden patient who was very chill, and the family was okay to work with. The setup was 3 days staying in the patient’s home, then 4 days off every week. We were allowed to sleep there, but honestly, I never slept well. Being paid hourly while staying in also drained me, and I’ll admit that because of the exhaustion, I wasn’t always able to give 100% care. Because of that, I asked to be transferred. Now I’ve been reassigned to a more advanced case — a bedridden patient with a trach and ventilator. This is actually something I prayed for before because I wanted to improve my skills. But the schedule is now 12 hours a day for 5 days, plus about 30 minutes travel each way. The problem is… I regret leaving my previous patient. I feel like I made a hasty decision. I gave up overtime that made

Long post but i would appreciate advice. Basically, i moved away to go to nursing school to a college away from my family and partner so i dont have ANY distractions. I have been in nursing school for 1 year so far and don’t talk to anyone in my cohort. at first i became friends with this girl but then she stopped talking to me for some reason and got close to other people instead and it because VERY awkward and their was so much tension. every class turned into something i dreaded. same with exams and clinicals. it was hard because we were pretty close and just like that it was done. it made it harder to want to talk to other people in my cohort cause my overthinking brain convinced myself that she was talking shit to me about everyone else. it felt like she got everyone to be her bestie while i’m over here not knowing what tf happened.

Hi everyone, I was given this used Littmann stethoscope, but I do not know the exact model or its age. Based on the chestpiece and the thick single tube, I initially thought it might be an older Master Cardiology. The serial number engraved on the chestpiece is G20E10299 . The metal chestpiece measures approximately 42 mm in diameter . I purchased an original 3M Littmann Master Cardiology Spare Parts Kit, REF 40011 , but it does not fit. The replacement rim measures almost 50 mm , so it is clearly too large for the chestpiece. Does anyone recognize this model or know which diaphragm and retaining rim would fit it? I would prefer not to glue the diaphragm directly because I assume that would affect the seal and acoustic performance. submitted by /u/Redman2302 [link] [comments]
Hi nursing family. I’m hyper fixating on this question right now. We have a person in our ICU who is incredibly ill (not a trauma case), we’ve been circling the drain and I genuinely don’t see an end in sight.

I’m curious have you ever seen anyone get so sick (I mean to the point of multiple pressors, CRRT, maxed out vent settings, severe acidosis, 20+ blood transfusions etc) that no one thought they were going to survive but then did and lived a normal life?

I need to know if I did the right thing. For context I completed my first year of teaching in may. I student taught at this school and got a job there. I was ecstatic. I loved my job. I worked so hard through student teaching to make the right impression, to land the job, and to feel comfortable. I got great evaluations (especially for a first year) and LOVED my coworkers. The day before spring break I got pink slipped. I was DEVASTATED ( it was also my birthday lol) I had worked so hard all year and this crushed me. My principal said it wasn’t my fault and it was due to enrollment dropping. Basically they were gonna have another teacher do my job and his job since there wasn’t enough kids to need a full time teacher. I was really bothered by how the whole thing was handled because many of my colleagues went and said that they thought this was the wrong choice. It completely messed up how the next year was going to look because of this shift. It seemed like the kids weren’t being prior
What the title says. I wanna hear the scariest things you’ve ever experienced while working! For me, there was a patient on my CCU/CVICU floor that was in heart failure and had an LVAD, but he didn’t take proper care of it at home so he was constantly back in the hospital for driveline infections. His final stay was about 3 months long and he ultimately passed. After we sent him down to the morgue and cleaned his room, his call light kept going off and the TV would turn on at full volume even after I’d go cancel the light and turn the TV back off 😅 And then of course, the universal experience of a dementia patient asking “who is that behind you?” at 3 am in the pitch black dark. submitted by /u/Mountain_Ad2614 [link] [comments]
Several years ago, I was a medsurg nurse and recieved report for one of my patients. He was in the bathroom, and he said hello through the door. Little did I know he had someone drop off drugs to him that he was injecting in the bathroom. He overdosed, and within the first hour of shift, I went into the bathroom and found him, coded him, and couldn't get him back. We found the drugs, and it became a crime scene. So now I have been subpoenaed. I am foggy on the exact details of everything that happened that night. It was so long ago, and everything happened so fast. I am being called to be a witness by the defense, who is the man who dropped off the drugs. The state is prosecuting. Who would you contact? The state lawyer? My former hospital and ask for my narrative note of that night? I don't want to slip up and somehow help this guy get away with slipping this guy likely laced drugs.
