Groundbreaking idea for improving teacher retention?

I propose that we might consider the following policy change to deal with staffing shortages: Teachers are permitted to inform a student, on the very last day of school, that they are in fact an asshole. They made chose one student each year and not more, so that the conversation can be a true tier 3 intervention. Just a thought. submitted by /u/Kiwi-Sorry [link] [comments]

Am I the only one who thinks this is wild?

A person with a business Bachelors degree completed an online MSN program, had about 2 months of orientation as a bedside RN, and is now going to be teaching students at the online school she graduated from. They will be adjunct faculty for an online MSN–Direct Entry program and are “excited about the opportunity to help teach, coach, and support the next group of nurses coming through the program.” They are, “especially excited about working with students in virtual simulation, clinical judgment, and NCLEX preparation.” This person is now referring to themselves as “professor.” Am I the only one who thinks this is wild? Someone with almost zero experience and beginner clinical judgment teaching others? submitted by /u/Digging_Naturalist [link] [comments]

Fidget Toys?

Last Tuesday was our first day of instruction. The eighth graders came to pick-up their schedules and were offered a calm fidget toy. By Wednesday, I noticed that in my last three classes, about 75% had squishy and other fidget toys. On Thursday, one of my classes became especially distracted by the toys, students were playing with them, pounding them on the tables and so on. At that point, I decided I had reached my limit. On Friday, I stopped instruction and asked students to put the calming toys away, explaining that they would not longer be allowed during class. For the past two days, not one students has played with them. Has anyone else noticed an effect, whether positive or negative from these calming toys in the classroom? submitted by /u/Intelligent-Rain-22 [link] [comments]

The Hilarious Results of a Communication Device Ban

My school district has banned all “communication devices” starting this year. This means phones, smart watches, wireless earbuds, and other things that result in kids being distracted (other than laptops and iPads). Results so far? We suspect some kids lying to the tune of “my parents grounded me and I don’t have my phone!” (Don’t worry, I’ve got a stock email in development for this problem to the kids parents). Otherwise, they’re socializing and it’s a tremendous breath of fresh air. My favorite thing I’ve seen so far is in my AP Chemistry class. A student walks in listening to wired headphones. Curious, I check to see what is going on, and they pull out of their pocket A PORTABLE CASSETTE PLAYER!!! I ask them what their listening to (I’m a huge music nerd and always love to talk music with the kids) and they share with me “oh, its Pearl Jam’s album ‘Ten’”. I just about fell out of my chair. This of course led to talks of Pearl Jam and other offshoots (Mad Season, Temple of the Dog,

They're going to do it and be fine

They can hate it the whole time, and they can hate me, but I will make them learn. They will learn. They will read. They will write. They will be considerate, respectful, and polite humans. They will be kind, loving, and understanding. They will give a shit about their fellow humans. They will be confident in themselves and their abilities. If all they learn is how to be civil in an environment they don't want to be in with people they don't want to be around, they have learned something. I don't give two flying fucks about whether or not they want to learn. I want them to. I love them and I want the world for each and every single one of them.

The refusal to work, apathy, arguing, constant - and I mean constant - talking, even across the room or during tests. I have re-taught transitions, routines and expectations. I repeatedly make us try again and again till we do it right. I give consequences, I message home. It’s every. day. Everyone constantly complains or is hungry for snack time or wanting nap time??? Most my class is below grade level in math and reading. I have loved every single class I have ever taught, I have also loved teaching.

A decade-long literacy crisis with nothing beyond short excepts in every curriculum I’ve been exposed to.

Excerpts, autocorrect :,) Can we talk about this? I remember being in fifth grade and pestering my teacher at the time about how we are only reading short passages rather than the whole book. Kids today are feeling this disconnect likely just as much as I did, if not more. Thirteen years later, as a teacher myself, my stance on this has only gotten stronger. The "passage-and-question" format of modern reading curriculums has turned literacy into a clinical process made to mirror the format of standardized tests. By replacing whole novels with snippets and text excerpts that only cushions the ever-shortening attention spans of kids (oh my god, don’t even get me started on brain breaks, by the way), we have systematically stripped away narrative context and cognitive endurance. You cannot build deep background knowledge or a genuine love for books 5-10 sentences at a time. The current literacy crisis is largely about a system failing to give them anything worth reading. I’m sick of this,

“Don’t scuff the floors”

Anybody else get this direction for the first few days of school from the custodial staff? It happens every year, we come back from summer and we have to set up our rooms and move desks and this sends the custodians into overdrive, reminding us to lift up desks, not to drag them, to not scuff the floors, and you know what, but the 4th day of school everything is scuffed and messy anyway. But it’s just comical because we go through this ever single year. ETA: this is being taken way heavier than I expected. It was marked comical because we laugh about it at school. ”we” being the custodians too. I do my part to not make the custodians jobs any harder than they are. My dad was one. It’s not elitist. It’s not entitled. It’s back to school experiences. And the custodians will also break my chops if my class gets in trouble, or they page me to the office.

"Why does attendance need to be our damn responsibility, Mr. Principal?"

I'm happy someone at the faculty meeting said it. All of us were thinking it. Our attendance numbers for August aren't great. We have a specific list of chronically late, chronically absent students with no documentation. Here's the thing. Those with documentation as to why they are chronically absent have been nothing but cooperative with us. One of my students is having health issues and has been communicating with the school. The principal had the audacity to tell us that the students are just following our bad example. For instance, we're taking sick days in August, despite the policy being that no teacher may be on campus if a fever is 101 degrees or higher. We're told that the kids look up to us and will emulate us. I find that hard to believe considering this is high school. Then the principal tells us that we need to incentivize students to be on campus with rewards. One of the nuns pretty much tells the principal the title.

High Reliable Organization Training

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?

New nurses, do you come in early every shift? Need advice

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.

Teachers who have taught over a decade, what has changed the most?

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.

I can feel my nervous system healing

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

“Defer to Nursing” The Answer to Every Question in Healthcare

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.

AI use is going to throw me over the edge

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!

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

How Actually To Chart

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

Under investigation: DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT

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. This is going to ultimately save my ass, because the allegations are career-ending as presented. Always CYA and document , y’all. submitted by /u/AlphaLimaMike [link] [comments]

How long did it take you to get good at IVs?

Hi. I’m a new grad and I recently got trained on inserting IVs. I find myself kind of panicking when starting on people with barely visible and barely palpable veins. 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. I know the arm anatomy and I somehow still miss often when it’s the forearm, have missed in the hand a few times. submitted by /u/GreenBlue420 [link] [comments]

The DOE attack on DEI and Nurses continues

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]

Breastfeeding while intubated?

If a breastfeeding woman is in the icu intubated, does the nurse have ger pump so she doesn’t get engorged/lose supply/get mastitis? I’m assuming the milk would be unusable because of the meds but I’m curious how it’s handled. submitted by /u/ohshitiamtheadult [link] [comments]

Night Shift Nurses: What Are You Actually Eating at 3AM?

three years of nights and i still have not figured this out. like i meal prep on my day off with the best intentions. little containers. protein. whatever. and then 3am hits and i am standing in the break room eating a string cheese and half a granola bar that was in my pocket since tuesday. the cafeteria is closed obviously. vending machine options are depressing. i brought a real meal tonight and somehow left it in my car. everyone talks about sleep hygiene and circadian rhythm stuff but nobody talks about how genuinely hard it is to eat like a normal human being when your body has no idea what time zone it lives in. hunger cues are completely broken. i am never hungry at the right time and then suddenly starving at 5am when i am also trying to finish charting and give report. i have tried the big meal before shift thing. i have tried smaller snacks throughout. i have tried just not thinking about it and that was the worst one. night shift nurses specifically. what actually works for
