Feeling setup for failure on HESI A2...

Hi everyone, I need some advice on how to prepare myself for the HESI A2. My circumstances are a little unique so I'll try to explain to the best of my ability. I intended to take the HESI this summer in hopes to start the nursing program at my university in January. However, I decided to plan my start to the nursing program Fall 2027 rather than spring semester. I met with my advisor yesterday and she is now telling me that since my university is going to a 5 semester program, that I would need to take the HESI now to gain admission to the Spring 2027 cohort. I feel absolutely blindsided by this since the HESI and application are due on the 1st (5 DAYS!!). So now I'm stuck preparing for the worst. I feel unprepared and want to know what I should focus on for the HESI. Since I did initially plan to take the HESI this summer, I did purchase the prep book by Elsevier, grind out modules in NurseHub, and average 85-95% on the practice exams for vocab, grammar, math and reading. However, I

Our curriculum is stupid!

Our reading curriculum is Imagine Learning which has first graders learning about birds for FIVE months straight. The lessons are ridiculous and ask 6 year olds to follow a series of five step directions and requires a minimum of 3+ anchor charts per lesson. Our district is obsessed with this curriculum. They have children using a Frayer model and doing close reads for 100 minutes on one text. First grade. The handwriting tells them to thrust their rockets forward and orbit planet O. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Our math curriculum has no modeling or explicit teaching, jumps around, and expects students to know how to sort data without telling them anything. You give them a T chart and Venn diagram and they’re supposed to figure it out themselves. Oh and we’re not allowed to use anything outside of the curriculum. submitted by /u/ravenclaw188 [link] [comments]

Felt like I got an "Intervention" today

Today one of my team members asked if we could all meet as a team of four. I figured it was to go over anything I needed to know for back-to-school night next week. Since my new school is way more organized and busy than my old school, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with the outside of classroom stuff. In the class, things have been going well. The kids are working, we're having good class discussions, and I'm branching out more with how I teach things since my kids are pretty high. Turns out the whole meeting was because I wasn't stamping the kids planners each day and not responding to group texts. Half the time they're sending texts I'm either organizing stuff for the day, teaching, or the text doesn't have anything to do with me. To add to it, the previous teacher emailed me asking if I needed any support, which made it feel like they've been talking about me behind me back because of the stamping. I could understand if the kids were running wild in my class, but they're no

Switching jobs too frequently?

How soon is too soon to switch jobs? I have had two jobs in the past 2 years, both in different states due to me moving. I unfortunately am wanting to move to a different state again, but got push back from some of my friends that you ā€œdon’t want to change jobs too often!ā€ I know I should look into traveling, but do you agree or disagree with this statement? I always thought that having the freedom to switch was one of the joys of nursing, if you don’t like it, find something else!

patients choosing to defecate on themselves

Y'all I just want to know your thoughts on this, because as an ED RN I've had this happen multiple times... Patient (completely A&O, bed bound, and ~450lb): "I have to shit." Me: "okay let me get a bedpan." Patient: "absolutely not, I hate those things. I'm just gonna shit in the bed and I'll let you know when I'm ready to be cleaned up." Me: "if you actively choose to shit yourself as a grown woman who lives independently at baseline with no injuries impeding you, I will not be cleaning you up. You can clean yourself up, or you can use the bedpan I'm offering you." I have zero issues cleaning patients, that's a huge part of being a nurse. But cleaning grown adults who have other options but CHOOSE to make a mess for someone else to clean.. THAT is not my job. Am I the asshole? submitted by /u/Deep_Distribution_78 [link] [comments]

WHY is it so hard to find pants that are comfy, have pockets, and won’t make me sweat ???

For context, I (20F), am a dedicated substitute teacher at a middle school. Luckily, my school is pretty lax when it comes to pants, and my go to comfort pants in winter are flare leggings. I just went back to work yesterday, and GOD is it humid and disgusting (East coast). I deal with hyperhidrosis, and I’m quickly realizing that polyester won’t work for me in this weather. It also doesn’t help that our a/c doesn’t kick in until an hour after the children arrive. I’m sick of coming home with an odor that i can smell halfway through the day.

If you only heard my class, but didn't see them, you'd think they were in preschool, with how completely helpless they are.

They are, in fact, sixth graders. I just wrapped up a 45-minute class with them. This is the second week of school. They know the routines. They know the expectations. They cannot function independently. At all. The smallest, easiest directions require hand-holding for them. Even something as simple as "get out a piece of loose leaf" will be met with multiple hands raised, multiple questions, complete helplessness as to how to overcome this impossible task. About half of the questions they ask are completely unrelated to anything we're doing at that moment. The other half are mostly manifestations of helplessness. Questions whose answers were already shared with them, or written right in front of them. What page number are we on? Well, I just told the class, and wrote it on the board, and I'm projecting a picture of the page on the board, and everyone around you is on the page.

ADN → RN-to-BSN vs ABSN in San Diego — what would you do in my situation?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some real-world advice from nurses/nursing students, especially anyone in Southern California or San Diego. I’m 25 and already have a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (pre-PT) from SDSU with about a 3.5 GPA. I’m currently a licensed EMT working in EMS and have decided that I want to pursue nursing. Most of my nursing prerequisites are already completed from my first degree and I’m currently figuring out which programs make the most sense financially and career-wise. Originally I was looking heavily at accelerated/second-degree BSN programs like SDSU, CSUSM and National University. The problem is cost. SDSU’s accelerated second bachelor's program alone is around $75k in tuition. I don't have that kind of money available, and because I already have a bachelor's, my financial aid options are more limited.

ā€˜The Kids Simply Cannot Handle It’: Why New York Students Are Reading Fewer Books

MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, Queens teacher Nicole Radosti Pipia’s fifth- and sixth-grade students seemed to love reading novels in school. ā€œThe Giverā€ by Lois Lowry was prized for its mystery. ā€œWonderā€ by R.J. Palacio taught them about kindness and acceptance. ā€œFreak the Mightyā€ by Rodman Philbrick showed them the power of friendship. Now, she said, they don’t read any. Instead, students often spend class time reading excerpts and short stories to better prepare them for the sorts of questions they’d encounter on standardized exams. The demands of her school’s reading program leave no room to study novels, the English teacher said. ā€œWe’re told that we cannot deviate from the program, and if you have to do the program, there’s literally no time,ā€ Pipia said. Another New York City middle school teacher, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, said her school taught novels before the pandemic.

The gap widens

Substitute taught at a private school in a gifted class yesterday, observations so far: * Every single child brought a pencil and was essentially on task all day. * Routines are well oiled machines. Phones go in a small jail at the start of the day, but most of the times even this isn't necessary as they just keep them in their lockers. Admin is extremely supportive and encouraging! * Attendance is itself done via swipe cards and is taller automatically. The swipe cards serve dual purpose as student IDs and Hall Passes (left at the front when using washroom). Perhaps the dream of curriculum compaction is well and alive. Most students also had tutors to further reinforce their academics.

I refinanced my private student loan to a servicer that offers in-school deferment and have a fair amount of savings. I've tried to apply to lots of PCA and CNA trainee jobs with no luck yet. While staying in my current job is ideal in the sense that I can save up money while paying for prereqs out of pocket, I just don't know if I can do it mentally. I want to know if anyone has been in this situation/has any tips on how to get a healthcare job when I've been working a different career the past 6 years, or in general what your experience was. submitted by /u/Remarkable_Bid2570 [link] [comments]

Seen on askreddit. I didn't have the energy to have an argument with this person.

Couldn't decide between rant or discussion on this one. I don't disagree with all this person said but my training "pre-reqs" included the physiological processes behind the actions of the body. My pharmaceutical training included mechanism of action. Am I wrong in thinking this person is off base? submitted by /u/hazelquarrier_couch [link] [comments]
