Lo and behold- I’ve lived to see the day my unit doesn’t have a single sick call and we have an extra nurse. That 2.5x pay per hour is really showing- cheers to all. Just came off a night shift, gonna sleep. submitted by /u/keepingitrealonred [link] [comments]
Wow, I saw a social media post this morning that hit hard. I was griping about work at work, work at home, just too much to accomplish and not emough time. This post said "Stop complaining about things you used to Pray for." Yep, that shut me down in a heart beat. I prayed to be an ER Nurse, prayed for a house of my own, prayed for a family that I adored. Prayed for all of it. I really needed to hear that. submitted by /u/Zanne65 [link] [comments]
Tired of being told "remember your why." Tired of PD presenters telling their hard-luck story as if I give a shit. Tired of superintendents crying at back to school ceremonies like I am supposed to be moved. Tired of being told to make it fun while not deviating from the curriculum. Tired of being told good teaching and learning can be spontaneous but reprimanded for "birdwalking." Am I the only one but could it be we teachers can never, and will never, win at this game? It strikes me the only professionals for whom this job works are those far away from the kids and parents. And they survive by taking the parents' sides. submitted by /u/Opposite_Bid_8208 [link] [comments]
I'm curious to know because my SO looked me up and down one day right before we were going out and said "Aren't you going to change? If a parent saw you, you can get fired for the way you dress." While I agree and understand where he's coming from, here's some context: - I 99% of the time wear a baggy t-shirt and shorts; I don't wear tube tops, spaghetti straps, booty shorts, or anything of the sort that would even be deemed as inappropriate - Not sure if my SO is against what I wear because I'm not wearing color schemes that he likes (that day I wore a blue shirt with purple shorts, crew socks, and tennis shoes) - I dress business casual/professional at school so I'm definitely not showing up looking like a bum or ungroomed for my job and he knows this - He's a corporate worker so he harps on about always dressing to a tea in case he sees his clients outside of work and have to chat with them I told him that on weekends, I am not Ms. Jane Doe. I'm just Jane. If I see students or paren
UPDATE to my previous post about our completely chaotic dismissal process (where I finally reached my limit and started walking my kids straight to the office at the end of contract hours). For context I am a first year, 2nd grade teacher in NC. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more unhinged, my principal called a last-minute meeting that swallowed up the absolute last scrap of planning time we had left for the week (we already had planned meetings during every planning this week). She sat us down and told us she’s been doing walk-throughs during our phonics block, and she was furious with what she saw. Some of us were on different lessons (1 lesson ahead), and the teachers who were on the same lesson were using slightly different instructional strategies. So, she dropped a new, mandatory rule on us. Moving forward, every classroom in our grade level has to be on the exact same lesson on the exact same day, no matter what. If our students aren't comprehending the material, t
Our school gives us two days before kids start (which is tomorrow) the first day is all day in-service/recognition. Typically this is someone giving speeches about teaching skills etc. This year we had a magician give a 3 hour show for like 300 staff. It did not relate to teaching in anyways On one hand. Most entertaining use of this time. But also completely useless and would be much better if we had classroom time. They didn't even pretend to make it matter. submitted by /u/AleroRatking [link] [comments]
I work at a hospital in Texas, I’m a patient care tech and this job isn’t my first in this role. Typically when you are floated to sit, you sit for the whole shift (12hr). This hospital is special, I was told we could only sit for 6 hr and then be moved to the floor (if you were floated to medsurg to sit, then you would be on the medsurg floor for the remaining 6hrs). This rule was added because some dumb tech was on her phone and a patient tried to K themselves. Now the 6hr sit rule wasn’t too much, everyone agreed that it was probably for the best anyways. The one thing that sucks balls is now every year we have to do this FOUR HOUR meeting (unpaid btw) where they do SI education. This mandatory meeting is for ALL staff, not just cnas/pcts. I work nights, these meetings are only on weekdays. I picked nights because I have a child and don’t have much room for someone to watch her if I’m not there, my husband works weekdays so I come home, he goes to work. People are tweaking over this
Not a nurse, just a new mom. I've always thought that being a labor/delivery/recovery nurse must be the most warm+fuzzy job. Just bringing sweet babies into the world and caring for them. But I never thought about how hard it must be to have to send babies home to bad situations. Like you know the child is not going to get the love and care they deserve but you have to let them go. I cannot imagine how hard and stressful that is. So sending a little love to all the nurses that carry this burden. Note: This is just my postpartum/early morning breastfeeding brain at work. I love my little girl tremendously, have lots of support, and am doing my best to care for her. This is not a cry for help/concern about a particular child. Just a random thought. submitted by /u/ciamaria0102 [link] [comments]
So yesterday we had a nursing assistant come in to work from 3a-7a and I was told he seemed super extra and more energetic and chaos than usual. He proceeded to tell everyone that he picked up the shift around 8pm then went to the bar until 12 but only had 2 drinks. Refused to safety sit because he would fall asleep. Admitted he probably shouldn’t have come to work but it was easy money to come in and just take vitals. We work on a neurosurgery unit in a hospital. It’s never easy work. I came in at 7a. He talked to me before he left, and shared his evening story with me. I told him it was not ok to drink alcohol at all and then come to work and he agreed but again said he didn’t think it was an issue because he didn’t smell and felt fine. I promptly notified management. Snitching or holding your peers accountable? I think what he did was highly irresponsible but everyone else was too afraid to speak up. submitted by /u/shelsifer [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, so I'm a first year teacher and I usually ask for a lot of classroom management advice in this group, I share my struggles, but today I want to share something really positive. I'm counting this as my first win as a teacher. So I teach grades 6 to 8, I'm an ELA teacher, and my grade 6 students completely adore me, but I didn't take it seriously because well they're kids, they're impressed by anything; and my grade 7 have been really disruptive, they barely ever listen. Grade 8's are okay. So I never took the praise seriously or thought of myself as some amazing/precious teacher. But today something stuck with me. So we had our PTA today and some mom walked up to me and thanked me. I was surprised, I asked why, and then she said that her kid has always been weak with language and his previous ELA teachers have criticised him for it, they have complained about how he lags behind his peers, so he had eventually started getting scared of English as a whole. She said, and I qu

I am extremely atheist, but i dont go around broadcasting that bc of the area i live in and the culture of my school. To be clear, i work at a PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL, just in a very religious area (bible belt). Anyway, i was tidying up my bookshelf when i noticed EIGHT bibles placed there by my co-teacher! Its bad enough she has those psy-op baby jesuses (which are shamefully placed all around the school btw bc FCA) on her desk, but now shes putting straight up religious texts on MY book shelf. I’ve thought of ways to bring this up to her. The Truth: i just think it’s disgusting and weird. Children in this area are NOT short on teachers and staff who are overtly religious; there are literal prayer-request sign up sheets outside some teacher’s classrooms. id like my class to be the one place they arent being subtley psy-oped into buying their religious propaganda. I know how it feels to be an athiest surrounded on all sides by religious freaks, even in supposed safe places like schools. I

So, I teach ESL English in Beijing, kids aging from 3 all the way up to 14. (The older kids are just with my classes as after school classes in the evening, the young ones are with me in the afternoon). Now, these kids get homework EVERY day from each class. So the little ones in the pre-K and kindergarten get 4 sets of homework each day. The older kids at their regular school are getting 6 lots of homework then they come to MY class end get 2 more, that's ALL to be finished before they even get to sleep that night... I've asked my boss maybe to cut down their homework in my classes to either one every 2 classes or even just do term tests or something but the PARENTS have been complaining that we aren't given them ENOUGH homework. The parents complain when their kids dare to have enough time to play video games or watch TV. This is considered wasted time to them. So every day I'm with these poor kids, who are miserable, exhausted, and when I ask them what they'll be up to on the weeken
Pet peeve: movies and tv shows that show teachers “teaching” by asking random questions at the class. That’s not how we teach. Project Hail Mary does this in the first 10 or fifteen minutes. The teacher, Grace asks: “What is the actual name of the North Star?” “What are the three basic kinds of rocks?” “What wave do you feel first during an earthquake?” “What’s the speed of light?” “What’s the nearest star to Earth?” Yes, we teachers might review important curriculum that students have been taught, but the material is from one subject, not 5 separate subjects. And teachers are frequently portrayed like this in lots of popular media. Is this in the book as well? submitted by /u/NickMusicRunner [link] [comments]
Hi everyone! I’m an American RN looking into moving to and working in British Columbia, and I’m hoping to get some honest advice from nurses who have worked in Canadian hospitals. I have about 2.5 years of RN experience, primarily in a med-surg unit with both adult and pediatric patients. One of my biggest concerns about making the move is finding a good work environment. I currently have a really great team, so I’m nervous about leaving a supportive environment and ending up somewhere with a toxic culture, poor management, or an unhealthy work environment. I don’t know many people in the Canadian healthcare system, so I’m a little lost when it comes to which hospitals or health authorities in BC have a good reputation among nurses. I’d really appreciate hearing about places where nurses feel supported, staffing is reasonable, and the overall unit culture is positive—as well as places you would personally be cautious about. I’m also trying to be realistic about the cost of living. I’d
Hey everyone, I know my title of my post is alarming, and apologies if this has triggered anyone. I just wanted to see if any other new teachers has had this experience: I was a permanent sub at a charter school and the school liked me so much they interviewed me and hired me as a teacher the following year (this year). Unlicensed teachers can teach at my school, but they must hold a rapport with the school, etc. I was hired on, but they told me I was going to teach 1st grade English Language (and knowledge) for the english speaking students (my school is bilingual). Before the first day that I started, I then was told I was also teaching Kindergarten English (and knowledge) to our english speaking kindergarteners. i'm thinking...Oh, this doesn't sound too bad. I will probably get my own room. (surprise, I do not) On my first day that I started they then added that I am teaching English Language Development to our Spanish speaking students (I am beginner at best with spanish). On top o

I had the worst shift I've had in many years today. I had a pt named Carol with respiratory failure and extremely bad anxiety. I'm talking batshit crazy. I went into it thinking the reporting nurse was blowing it all out of proportion and confident I could smooth thing over. But no, she ended up being a special kind of crazy. I started the day with 3 pts so I knew I would be taking a 4th via transfer soon. I was actually looking forward to it (which obviously never happens). My thought process was that I was ready for just about anything else. Do you know what I get? Another Carol with respiratory failure and extremely bad anxiety. The names were the same.

As we all know, the Big Beautiful Bill has cut funding tremendously and as a result, many hospitals have instilled hiring freeze and overall made getting hired much, much more difficult. Obviously it’s still possible to get hired in your desired unit as a new grad in places like the Midwest, but I really don’t want to be in the Midwest. This question is more aimed at desirable places like SF, LA, NYC, New Jersey, etc. I’ve lived in SF my whole life, and would ideally like to stay here, but I know how unrealistic that is even before the bill. I want to know if the market will be as bad as it is now or if it’ll get any better. submitted by /u/BitlifeOffical_ [link] [comments]

Bush’s presidency before 9/11 was focused heavily on domestic policy, especially education. After 9/11, national security consumed the administration—but paradoxically, the political atmosphere of unity helped Bush get his major domestic education legislation through Congress. There’s also an interesting irony: 9/11 helped create the bipartisan environment that passed NCLB, but the War on Terror eventually diverted enormous attention and resources away from domestic education policy. Everything that we complain about on here: obliteration of standards and accountability, scripted, souless curricula, endless testing, can be tied back to that stupid law. It wasn’t Covid or social media that killed education, it was NCLB. Ask anyone who taught, or attended, public school in the 80’s or 90’s. If only we had a real oppositional party, who wasn’t consumed by the “War on Terror,” who could have pushed back on this crap. submitted by /u/One-Context7569 [link] [comments]
It’s my first year teaching straight out of college. I am a music teacher for high schoolers. It has only been 1 month of class, and I’m already feeling burnout which is crazy cuz this is what I thought I loved. I had an extra long Labor Day weekend and I’m hoping it’s just that I’m out of routine and so it’s weird, but it’s also been so exhausting having to teach 4 different hour and a half classes.

Large language models (LLMs) are entering clinical training as digital standardized patients (DSPs), simulated patient encounters the model scripts and portrays. Demographic associations learned from corpus co-occurrences can enter at two points: the written case scripts and the live portrayals improvised in role-plays. We audited both pathways using an HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) screening scenario across six demographic factors (age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, education, and race or ethnicity) in a 216-cell factorial design. With a generated arm and a template-substituted control arm, we simulated 4,320 conversations with fixed audit questions, measuring three channels: the case scripts, the composite role-play trainees receive, and role-play under identical control cases. Differences concentrated where corpus associations were strongest and reinforced predictable stereotypes. Anal sex appeared in 100% of gay mens cases, 83% of bisexual mens and 3% of heteros
Hi! Thanks for reading. In my district, we have a full week of PD before kids come. This year, I took a personal day on the very first day, the 17th, because I got married on August 15th. I let my admin know about a month in advance and got their approval - but our union contract also states that the only reason a principal can deny a personal day, is if coverage can’t be found, and on a PD day, there’s no need for subs. The first day was 75% “teacher directed” and 25% principal directed - basically, I missed about 2 hours of meetings total, and 6 hours of classroom setup time. I know, what kind of teacher books their wedding in mid August.. the answer is that I wanted my grandparents at my wedding, and that was the last summer 2026 date. It was a gorgeous wedding, and I don’t regret taking that single day to travel home and begin to unpack before starting a brand new school year. Fast forward to now, my husband is having surgery at the end of September. I let my principal know a month

I started in a medical ICU with no PCTS or techs. Our ratio is 1:2. I am frequently unable to turn my patients every 2 hours or perform oral hygiene that frequently. I am running around and barely have time to pee. The more experienced nurses are also unable to give all meds on time and do Q2 hour turns and other similar tasks (oral hygiene Q2 hour) due to patient acuity and time needs. You are also needing to find a second person every time you need to turn a patient. I feel uncomfortable lying on the chart saying I did something or assessed something (lung sounds) every 2 hours or the like when I know I didn’t.

Please don’t be too harsh if you comment. I’m harsh enough on myself and I could use some kindness right now. For the first time in my career, I’m on a “plan of assistance” and it’s only been one week of school. My admin doesn’t feel like I was 100 percent ready on day one, even though some of their expectations weren’t known and are not universal to all teachers/schools. The thing is, I’m coming out of a huge life transition. I challenged myself to do this. I left an emotionally abusive marriage to start over thousands of miles away. I have a child with special needs and I’m completely on my own now. I don’t tell people this looking for pity. In truth, I’m proud of how much I’ve done so far. Unfortunately, I underestimated the toll that this would take on me, especially at the start of a new school year with a new school. I simply haven’t been able to devote my full attention to work yet, but I’m close. I had every intention of finalizing my classroom setup and organizing new supplies

I work at a public elementary school in Indiana. This school gets a high rate of kids with disabilities and bad home lives. We have a lot of behavior problems here. We write a lot of referrals. Last week, the principal held a meeting where she said that we write more referrals than other schools in our district, and she made each teacher sign a goal to write fewer referrals this year. Another teacher raised his hand and said that writing referrals and documenting behavior are necessary first steps in identifying patterns and finding effective interventions. The principal basically shut him down and said that referrals are stigmatizing and contribute to a school to prison pipeline. They continued arguing for a few minutes after the meeting. It turns out the teacher had written a few referrals that were rejected by the principal. The teacher stormed out of the meeting and went to teach his class. Fifteen minutes later, the principal marched through the school into his classroom and fired
I LOVE teaching... It is what I've always wanted to do... But sometimes I am just DONE with the expectations. From multiple students needing extra support, reminders to stay on task, extra working time, modified assignments, etc... to allowing some kids to have Squishies in class cause it's on their 504 plan to help them focus meanwhile other students are wondering why they can't have it but some can... Then there's the BIP's... It's like a whole class period to focus on ONE child and their behavior it seems like. So 90% of the class doesn't get the education they deserve cause I am so focused on one kid and their behavior. I also have pull out kids who go to SPED and I don't give any grades to but I'm supposed to somehow give them grade level instruction and turn in 6 grades a grading period so they can be averaged with SPED grades but they CAN'T do the work and I need to literally hold their hand thru every step in the process.

I’m currently a med surg/tele nurse and our small hospital caters mostly to SNFs. Which means 80% of our patients are elderly with dementia. I had a dementia patient (admitted for UTI) and he was AOx1, confused and VERY forgetful. Kinda like Drew Barrymore in 50 first dates. Repetitive conversations within a span of 10 mins. Wanders a lot because he wants his “wife” (fake name: Anna) to take hime home. Obviously I can’t babysit him the entire shift so I got him the virtual sitter. Problem is, he gets really agitated when you redirect and reorient him with “hey patient you’re in the hospital for UTI you need to stay here blah blah”. I even called Anna (who turns out to NOT be his wife lol) and she tried to reorient him but again, he forgets after 10 mins. I’m soooo drained just a couple hours into the shift. So I had this idea to write a fake note from Anna and leave it in his room. I wrote “Patient, I will pick you up later after work. Stay in the room and wait for me. Love, Anna” whic
