Every year there is a sign up for teachers to clean the staff lounge at the end of the day and I absolutely refuse to participate. In my building, individuals are assigned a week to do this. Every year I roll my eyes. Everyone is a grown adult with a college education and I will not be reduced down to a cleaner of space everyone using it should keep clean. You get up you wipe your area and put your things in the dishwasher and you keep it moving. I find it incredibly reductive and rude to walk into a staff lounge and see the filth on the tables while declaring that children need to be more responsible and take accountability for their actions submitted by /u/Content-Name2693 [link] [comments]
Regrettably in many cases and many situations Black educators, specifically Black male educators are not seen for their intellect, but for their ability to be behavior specialist. This viewpoint is held by colleagues, administration, and both within the district. I know this is not everyone for us, please do not spend our time trying to discredit what has been a shared story for many Black educators specifically Black male educators, but not limited too. By the way, I am a Black male educator who has actively refused for the past 37 years being the discipline expert, the missing father, the Stern voice, while never being given the opportunity to lead a workshop, to be department head, to be so many other things. submitted by /u/Content-Name2693 [link] [comments]
Well my dumb butt spent over $300 and didn’t realize CASPA calculates GPA differently. I got rejected from all schools because my GPA from undergrad the first 3 years was terrible. I transferred and went to a different university and graduated with a decent 3.4. I went to get my Masters and got a 3.5. I can’t believe I didn’t look up that CASPA considers all courses. I feel like a wasted my time and everyone’s time who recommended me. Now I have to come up with an excuse why I didn’t get in. I’m so embarrassed 😭 it looks like I’m going to be moving away from healthcare and probably going to end up in law school. Good luck everyone! Don’t be like me and think they use your graduated GPA.

Teachers, specifically coaches, at my school have been uploading student photos into ChatGPT to make banners for athletic events. We don’t have a specific policy for this yet. We only have permission forms for posting student photos on school social media accounts. I don’t think the people doing this are even aware of the potential issues. Pretty sure our local administration knows about it, but the district office may not. Has anyone else dealt with this? I’m worried about what may become of this data later. What should I do? Is it even worth fighting? I’m in the minority of anti-genAI people at my school. I will not have much support. Edit to add: no union submitted by /u/manyunicorns [link] [comments]
I started my career in on a step-down ICU unit with 5:1 nurse patient ratios. I’ve always struggled with generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder, I thought I had it well-managed before starting this job, but boy was I wrong. After my only 5 shifts of orientation, they set me free, and I quickly became acutely mentally unwell. I asked my manager if I could transfer to an “easier” unit, and she refused due to the nature of my contract. I couldn’t even apply to other positions because, due to my contract, they required my current manager’s permission for me to get a different job. My options were to either quit and be unable to afford rent or to just stick it out. At one point I was so suicidal I had an exact plan, means, and date to end my life. After calling in sick for a shift, I booked an appt with a therapist and found a doctor to do a med adjustment. I gradually felt a bit better, was no longer suicidal, but was still incredibly depressed. My contract was only 9 m

This past February, I made this post about always getting sick from students at my school. The r/Teachers community so kindly gave me so many suggestions, and I wanted to report back to you with some of the changes that I made. I cannot thank you enough for your help. Once I started these changes, I only got sick once more during the entire rest of the school year, and I am quite certain it was from a sick family member, rather than from school. I also am multiple weeks into this next school year already, and I have yet to be sick while some of my other staff members already are getting sickness. Here were the changes that were presented to me that I implemented: - I bought an air purifier. I got the "Clorox Medium Room Air Purifiers for Bedroom Home, True HEPA Filter" that mentions reducing 99.9% of viruses. I put this on a setting of Level 3 out of 4. Great volume, not too loud. Level 2 is event quieter. I actually bought two -- I teach in a classroom and also in a separate smaller r
I tend to have repeatable success with "boys who present significant behavior challenges that aren't primarily disability-related". My reward? Classes with more and more of these boys. There are only so many places I can put them in my class. After rearranging multiple times, I've already had to settle on rows again this year. Yes, my boys are behaving, but at the cost of the entire class having to live in lockdown mode. That isn’t fair to the rest of the class, and it isn’t fair to me. I don’t want to spend another entire year as a drill sergeant. One or two boys with significant behavior needs can usually be managed, integrated, and gradually taught to function within a normal classroom environment. The class can still do stations, collaborative work, projects, and other activities without every group needing constant adult oversight. Six out of twenty, though... I can’t assist small groups while also strictly monitoring every other group at the same time. So we do fewer of those act

1) following scripted curricula “with fidelity” is a way to make teaching a low skilled job so they can pay us less and further gut public education. 2) inclusion at all costs is a way to reduce costs to school systems, rather than a way to benefit students with disabilities. 3) PBIS is a cognitive nightmare for teachers to implement and negatively affects the quality of teaching (how can u assign points and teach at the same time???? I haven’t figured out a good system, lmk). 4) making teachers with specialized skill sets (i.e. reading specialists) coach other teachers instead of/in addition to working directly with small groups of identified students is another way to get blood from a stone, benefitting almost no one.

So we are in the season of yearly evaluations on our individual performance. I have not had my turn yet, but a nurse on my team did hers and was reporting back what her results were because we all found out last year that we were all the same exact employee in the eyes of our manager. She told me in department goals that section talking about “turnover rates” was not talking about between cases (I work in the OR) but in fact the turnover rate of our permanent staff. On a scale of 5 we will all be getting a 2 because on my specialty team we lost 2 staff members in the last year. Now mind you that 1 left the state entirely to be closer to family and due to husband’s job change. The other left for an entirely different specialty of nursing because the hours would have been better for her. But nonetheless their absence is not meeting my department goals and so thus negatively impacts my performance. We have a small team so according to industry turnover it appears like we’re high only losi
I mean, I get the basics of how a pneumatic tube system works. But I was recently accused of causing the system to go down because of sending a tube when there were too many incoming tubes that hadn't been cleared. I don't think this was my fault since I took my empty tube from the pile of arrived tubes before sending, but it made me realize that I don't know the finer points of the tube station, I just put my tube in the sender and hit "lab". Are there any tips or tricks to troubleshooting the tube station? Are there things to watch out for that could accidentally cause a traffic jam in the tubes? Is there a weight limit, like if I have to send a bunch of stuff on ice and the tube is basically packed full of sample bags full of ice, will that overload it somehow? Has anyone had any weird experiences with their pneumatic tube system? submitted by /u/slutty_muppet [link] [comments]

Everyone complains about floating, but I enjoyed it. I've floated a TON and only ever had one bad shift. That night was so bad I went back to my unit and asked someone to come down and help me.

I’ve gone down a Dolly Parton rabbit hole these past few days. I am just in awe of her kindness, her compassion, and she was so intelligent. To those in the know, what’s it like when you’re on the medical team of a high profile patient? Especially in situations like this one where it wasn’t publicly known that she had cancer. Do you think about the fact that you know something that would blow up if it hit the news? Do they just become like a regular patient in your eyes? I’ve found myself standing back and feeling proud of how far we’ve come in regard to medical privacy. I believe it was Lucille Ball who learned her pregnancy test results not from the doctor but from the media.

I was let go from my job today, and I honestly didn’t see it coming. I’m still shocked, very sad, and having a hard time processing what happened For some background, I have about two years of chronic dialysis experience. I recently accepted a position working in acute dialysis, which was the job I was let go from. I had only been there for about a month, and this morning I was told that they didn’t feel like I had enough experience to continue working for them. I know I wasn’t having the best experience there either. There was a lot of miscommunication, unclear expectations, and I never really received a formal orientation. Many of the people I communicated with were almost two hours away from where I was actually working, so there were times when I didn’t know what was expected of me or who I should contact for clarification. There also weren’t consistent hours, which made things even more confusing. Financially, this is also really scary. I don’t have savings right now, and I’m alre
This is a venting post but still work related. I’ve been working at my current school for about four yrs now. From the time I’ve been there, I’ve always been reserved, mind my own business, do my best… go to work, go home, keep everything cordial and respectful. Never had problems with anyone again for that same reason. And I like it like that. Anyways, so long story short. During a meeting today, I tried explaining something to a coworker. I’m over here trying to help her out bc we are assigned partners for something. So tell me why this woman, while I’m literally just trying to help her, turns around and very rudely says “give me a minute… give me a minute. I’m trying to process.” She also put her hand up while saying it, which felt almost like she was shushing me lol Like cuts me off out of nowhere. I’m okay with giving her the minute BUT the tone and interaction felt noticeably awkward and the room went quiet for a moment. Her tone came across as extremely dismissive. She made it e

I'm a first year teacher. Today during a quiz, about half my class started throwing paper balls around. The environment got loud and disruptive enough that I genuinely don't think the other students could focus and do their best work. Important context: I explicitly told the class before the quiz started that anyone who spoke during the quiz would get a zero. I made it clear. They knew. I wrote down the names of every student who threw paper. I know exactly who did it. I have already write them up and wrote up the students talking I can't split the room or do detention make-ups easily due to scheduling. My current plan: · Toss today's quiz entirely (not fair to the kids who were trying) · Give a new quiz tomorrow on the same material · Deduct 10 points from the throwers' scores on tomorrow's quiz · Warn the class beforehand that any disruption tomorrow = automatic zero But part of me feels like since I already said speaking = zero, I should actually follow through and give the throwers
I became an EMT at 18 and a paramedic at 20. One patient from early in my career has stuck with me more than almost anyone else I’ve treated. He was a frequent flyer and had one of the most complicated medical and psychiatric histories I had ever seen in someone his age. One of the diagnoses in his chart was PNES, and we were called to his home many times for seizure-like episodes. Working in EMS, I had certainly encountered people who were consciously pretending to have seizures—for example, someone suddenly having a “seizure” immediately after being arrested. This patient was nothing like that. And to be clear, I have since learned that genuine PNES is not the same thing as consciously faking a seizure either. Initially, his PNES diagnosis seemed to fit, and regardless of the cause, my partners and I always treated him with respect. He was an incredibly kind kid. Even though sometimes I’d get into arguments with my partner . What bothered me was hearing about how he was treated elsew
Hi everyone! I’ll be starting my ASN program in January 2027 as an out‑of‑state student, and it still feels surreal typing that out. Where I live, getting into a nursing program is almost impossible waitlists, competition, limited seats all of it. I wanted a different outlook, a different environment, and honestly… a fresh start. They accepted my HESI, and that moment felt like everything clicked. The exam wasn’t even that hard when I took it, but seeing “accepted” made me feel like the universe finally opened a door for me. Right now I’m working in education, and it’s been rough. The field is changing fast, and not in a good way. I’m ready to step into something that feels meaningful again. I have some healthcare experience and I’m a certified phlebotomist, so I’m hoping to get back into the medical world soon maybe a hospital role or caregiving through an agency while I prep for school.

I teach 7th grade math at a title one school. During preplanning our new principal and assistant principal made this big speech about "giving just 1% more." The gist was that we should all think of ways we can give just a little bit more to our students than we currently are. So maybe I took this the wrong way, but most of us are already coming in an hour early, leaving 2 hours after contract time, outfitting our classrooms with very little help from the school, constantly pulling data from the same places admin has access to and putting it endless spreadsheets so no one can look at them, giving up planning periods to sub for other classes, or meetings, or attend the same trainings every year, bus duty, car rider duty, contacting 158 parents and guardians "just to introduce ourselves" in the first 3 weeks, fundraisers...the list of above and beyond goes on and on. How many "extra one percents" are enough? How much free labor and funding will they normalize until it's enough? I just fou
I've got about 4-6 different colours to choose from and with this specific mural, I can swap them out at any time and it won't affect the art. This would be for a waiting room, will be on all 3 walls of that room, and will fully be placed top to bottom and left to right. The big thing I'm struggling with is which colours to go for... I've been using a colour palette site to help me, but as someone has rarely gone to the hospital, I can't imagine what a patient/loved one would want to be surrounded by as they have to step into the building and wait in those chairs. I think a good idea for me is to avoid reds and black. I was told to no to any rainbows. I am wanting to avoid pastel pinks and blues together as I feel like it wouldn't fit. I know it's hard to give advice when you can't see the art itself, but I would love some help! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it submitted by /u/MenAngry12 [link] [comments]
Here to vent! I’m a school teacher in a state that borders Texas. My school has a contained classroom for students with severe/profound disabilities. Our district added the contained classroom to our building at the end of last year for this school year. The issue we are having is that the teacher hired quit within a couple of days of the school year and the district already has many vacancies for these types of teaching positions. To combat this vacancy, myself and a few other teachers are being placed in this classroom without having the proper certifications my state requires until we can hire a teacher (which is highly unlikely). I already have several grade levels that I currently teach, but I’m now being “asked” to also split time in the contained classroom. I purposefully did not get my certification in severe/profound disabilities, yet here we are. It’s an unfair position all around as the students deserve a teacher who is properly trained and willing. submitted by /u/honeybea1
Had a moment to meet with a counselor at my school site about a student of concern. Student has known issues with one gender of teacher (I'm that gender - there is another teacher for my subject of the opposite gender). They said there's no data to support that, they can't change it, etc., but then did admit that there was a concern about placing that student in my class. When I repeated this back to her to ask why they chose that placement, she immediately denied saying that and shut down the conversation, becoming very defensive and demanding to know what other teachers I'd talked to. I'd appreciate any advice going forward on handling this situation. Should I be attempting to create a paper trail here? submitted by /u/maestrita [link] [comments]

Rarely do you often hear people go from ED to medsurg. I did just that and honestly I’m a lot happier. Prior to working in a (high-volume urban) ED, I worked as float pool in a high-acuity medsurg (also cross-trained in stepdown so I get floated there too) as well as a small town ED so I had a taste of critical care. I wanted to experience working in the emergency department at a much bigger hospital in the city, so I applied and got hired a few months ago.

Hi all I am currently an LVN I graduated last December and went straight into the transition program, which I’m currently in. Now I am pregnant. I am due in January and I am planning to induce labor as soon as healthily possible. And if that doesn’t work I want to schedule an induction at 39 weeks. That would give me about 10 days before I have to be back in class. I talked to my department chair and she gave me two options. I can either come back to class 10 days after giving birth or I can skip the semester and come back, but they don’t have any classes until fall of next year so I would pretty much be sitting out two semesters.

We go outside to play. Sam needs to poop again. But Sam doesn’t want to tell me so we can go inside and potty. Severe FOMO. He also doesn’t want to get his undies dirty. So, his solution was to stick his hands down his pants and catch it. Now he’s standing on the playground, gripping a turd. He does not want it. So he says to his friend “hey Sarah, here.” And hands it to her Sarah does not know what he’s giving her. Sarah is trusting. Sarah takes what San is offering her.

Hey guys, RN for three years and I have some questions for my Cath lab nurses. I currently work preop and my hospital is kind of weird where they have us prep TAVR patients for productivity minutes in PACU. But anyways I seemingly somehow get slapped every TAVR day with the prep, and its a nightmare. Beyond all the interdepartmental bullshit from preop prepping cath lab patients, there is a constant complaint of shaving within the groins. I feel I consistently shave to the absolute boundary of safety, up to the shaft of the penis and the sides of the groin, yet there are constant complaints about sterile draping placement and hair being in the way. I just don't understand, what they want! And this is such a minor thing when you consider the mess of orders they give me each week! I am editing this part* I do shave and prep for open heart in the case of a crack so I do not believe that is part of the problem. I'm about ready to straight up refuse prepping these patients and take whatever
I’m a float nurse, but our NICU is letting us floats be primary nurses since we are floating there a lot. Worked with a sweet family and they asked me to be the baby’s primary, and ofc I said yes. But his prognosis is so poor. Part of the reason I float is so I don’t get too emotionally invested in these sweet sweet kids (no adult patients at this hospital), so I fear I may be setting myself up for some big tears later. Does anyone have any advice on caring for the same (very sick) baby long-term? I also apologize if this is an inappropriate question for this sub.
