I had a stroke and have been out since March. I miss my students. And my boss has driven hours to see me and deliver a letter from one of my students.i miss the kids i used to have. Teaching math really was a joy. Since I needed a flair. I'm just smiling and nodding my way through rehab.

My closest friend and I just went through a horrible friendship breakup today, and she’s one of my only friends so it’s absolutely gut wrenching for me. Perfect timing because I start nursing school (college sophomore) in a few days! Not sure what to do or how to balance this with the inevitable stress and responsibilities that come with being in nursing school. Has anyone been through anything similar? What helped and how did you get through it? submitted by /u/TH3-K1NG-F1RE [link] [comments]
I’m a middle school teacher. I have 165 students. 9 students have health plans. 18 students have 504 Plans. 7 students have IEPs. I read every individualized plan before school started. I knew I had three students with Type 1 Diabetes. But I’m still trying to learn which kid has what plan while I learn their 165 names. Today I asked a student to silence their watch who was getting blood sugar alerts. Mom is rightfully pissed. Who has figured it out? What’s your system for connecting these critical plans to your students? How do you get your brain to process, connect, retain, and recall all of this? What’s your priority system for which you memorize first? submitted by /u/Capable_Penalty_6308 [link] [comments]
It's the dart grip and is often used for ultrasound IVs. Sorry this whole post turned into a brawl between the IV nurses and everyone who can't fathom that there's more than one way to do something 💀 I've tried it on a patient and it worked very well for me. I have to strain to hold it the 'traditional' way. You don't have to mirror the photo, the angle and exact finger placement are adjustable to your liking 😉 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The photo is from a Bard product training video and they're demonstrating a few different holding techniques that the device works with. This one really appealed to me and I was trying to do more research but can't find anything about "different" ways to hold your needle. Has anyone seen this before and know if it has a name? Is it something old school that has fallen out of practice with the development of new IV systems? Video link: https://www.bd.com/en-ca/videos/bd-cathena-safety-iv-catheter-techni
Medical education in resource-limited settings faces significant challenges in providing diverse clinical exposure and fostering essential skills such as clinical reasoning, communication, and empathy. Due to the inability to afford immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), constrained by financial, infrastructural, and structural barriers, interactive simulation videos (ISV) constitute an innovative, cost-effective educational tool that can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical clinical experience, while enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. This study aimed to assess the educational value and user experience of ISV as a supplementary tool in teaching medical semiology among medical students in Mozambique. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 4th-year medical students at Alberto Chipande University. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed, including a one-

First year teacher here teaching 9th grade. I have 30-35 students per section. It’s the second week of school. I have been counting down to get them to quiet down. It’s been working but I have to do it often, and in one class I had them give me 5 minutes of silence at the end of class because it wasn’t working. Another period is getting a seating chart tomorrow due to specific students. One of the teachers told me that her student said I was very nice. Overall, ive been getting good engagement. They raise their hands, ask questions etc. However I have that feeling in the back of my head, like I don’t have control of the class. My admin is very strict and comes in sometimes. I’m always worried they’ll come in and I won’t have control of the class. Is the feeling normal or am I starting off too nice? I’m worried that the students are at their best now but will eventually step outside of what I can manage. submitted by /u/Cleanbedsheets4u [link] [comments]
I love my job and I have no intentions of leaving because of this. But at the same time it gives me nightmares. Last night I was dreaming I was working with a trauma patient who broke his neck and was being fitted with a halo brace. In the dream I watched the screws get put into place and hear bones crunch and the patient scream. The reality was different. When this actually happen the patient assured us that he wasn't feeling anything but pressure, but was just really scared. Does anybody else have nightmares or even dreams about anything like this? submitted by /u/Just_A_RN [link] [comments]
I haven’t been working in nursing for that long, but a few years has done me in for a lifetime. And it’s not the patients. Sure, some can be annoying to work with, but generally, the patients have been pretty good. No, it’s the pettiness, drama, and sheer immaturity from other coworkers that truly exhausts me. Before anyone says, “Other jobs have drama too,” I agree. Of course they do. But having worked in other fields (and having known various others who did the same and then ultimately left nursing), I can say with confidence that it simply isn’t on the same level or nearly as malicious. In fact, the professionalism in other fields almost feels like a distant other world at this point. These particular coworkers in nursing don’t just irritate me; they genuinely disgust me and are an example of someone I will never let myself be. I cannot fathom how grown adults can behave so immaturely, be so obsessed with drama, try to make coworkers look bad, and actively make the job harder for ev
Just wanted to provide a fun exercise for all students: For all those planning to go into nursing or close to finishing school, what speciality are you thinking of pursuing? Optional: re-post an update in a year or two if you end up changing your mind or if you were right all along. ***Note*** This isn't about if you will get into your specialty out the gate from graduating. Just a fun, time capsule type of post to see how you've progressed but also to show future students how things may or may not change your minds. Like how med students choose their residencies, nurses should be celebrated for when they choose their specialities. 🎉 submitted by /u/Sea_Quantity6915 [link] [comments]
I am going into my second year of teaching and last year literally took everything out of me. I do like the profession and want to continue but I want to know how to not burn myself out. I would come home fall asleep, wake up to eat dinner and then lesson plan. I know it's a first few years of teaching are the hardest but I really don't want to burn myself out.

We had a 4 hour training on our new IEP testing protocols today. We had to all sit in a room together and share the one testing kit they provided each school.

Does anybody else have friends/relatives who think it’s okay to just send them/show them vulgar things just because you work in healthcare? For example, one of my really good friends will just send me pictures of her stool or snot and think it’s okay because I’m exposed to it constantly as a nurse, but it’s truly different when it’s your own friend. And maybe it’s because I encourage her to go to the doctor and get labs checked and educate her, as well as tell her about how my days at work go sometimes but truly wtf? Like I feel it’s disrespectful and I’m curious if anyone else experiences that from loved ones? The other day my 2 friends were talking about snot and my one friend talked about how she doesn’t wanna hear/talk about it, and when the other friend asked why, friend #1 responded like “because I’m not a nurse” while in my presence. And I spoke up like, um just because I’m a nurse doesn’t mean that I want to necessarily deal with it neither? But I do it because it’s apart of my
Is anyone else noticing how their students completely fall apart when trying to do math on pen-and-paper? Each year when I get a new class, it seems like a pencil is more and more foreign in their hands. I'm a teacher who has always believed pen-and-paper was the best way to learn math, so I tend to stay away from a lot of the math sites like Khan Academy, unlike most other teachers at my school. But now it seems like digital learning is so ingrained in these students' brains that I don't know what to do. Is anybody else seeing this or am I just going insane lol.

Before getting into everything, I should mention that I already put in my two weeks, and this week was supposed to be my last week at this job. Long story short, I work in the ICU and recently had two patients with pacemakers. One of the pacemakers was doing some funky things, which made me realize I was a little rusty with EKGs. I had a tab open with different EKGs and practice questions and was reviewing them periodically while taking care of my patients. My charting was up to date, and my patients were stable. One had already been downgraded to step-down. I went to lunch around 2:30PM. When I came back around 3 PM, my manager pulled me aside and told me that I had been looking at EKGs "all day" instead of taking care of my patients. She then claimed my charting wasn't up to date and that there was something wrong with my notes. However, her main reason for sending me home was that I had been doing EKG practice questions and looking at EKGs "all day." I asked her to show me where in

Does anyone else work in a job where, any time a patient complains, you have to meet with your manager to discuss “what you could have done differently”? I received one complaint because I was unable to do something that was literally against policy. Now my manager wants to meet with me to review what I could have done differently. Honestly, it makes me want to quit. Instead of feeling supported, I feel like I'm constantly on edge and worried that even when I follow policy, I'll still be questioned if a patient is unhappy with the outcome. Has anyone else worked in an environment like this? How did you handle it? submitted by /u/Hungryhungryhippos2 [link] [comments]
I had this issue last year, and it seems like it’s going to be a problem again with this new group of students. Many times throughout the day, when I correct a student’s behavior, I get a chorus of students repeating after me. It doesn’t matter if it’s something simple like tying their shoes or a reprimand for interrupting me or leaning back in their chairs. A few times per class period, I'll have a chorus of students repeating after me. "Yeah Jimmy, tie your shoes!" "Oh my God Jimmy, tie your shoes!" "Jimmyyyyy, tie your shoessss!" Obviously, this reduces the likelihood of the original student complying because students don’t want to listen to their peers. It also turns into me having to reprimand the students who are repeating after me, so suddenly one redirection has multiplied into several. It’s exhausting. Last year, it got pretty severe. I ended up doing seat changes, behavior essays, lunch detentions, and parent phone calls, all with varying levels of success. Does anyone have a

Yesterday was like my 6th day on the floor with my preceptor. To set the stage a little bit, I previously worked in the ICU as a tech, and now I work in the same ICU as a new grad. My preceptor has said I’ve been keeping up pretty well, granted I haven’t been taking care of a super sick patient yet. He’s been letting me drown just a little bit to see how I handle it lol. Yesterday was my first day doing rounds with the doctors. I feel like I did pretty well throughout rounds except when the NP asked what her blood sugar was for the new admit overnight. I said I checked it this morning and it was 67. It didn’t even register to me in that moment that 67 was low, so I didn’t say or do anything about it. The NP’s eyes got wide and I suddenly realized what I had done 😭 Then she asked if I did anything for it and that’s when I realized, oh shit, it was low and I should’ve done something. Except she was NPO because she had just been admitted the night before and hadn’t had a swallow evaluatio

TLDR: I (25M) am a nurse working at a moderately sized level 3b NICU with 90% female coworkers. I want to make more friends that are my age but my gf (24) doesn’t like/ want me to hang out with my coworkers outside of work. Hanging out with woman outside of work that she doesn’t know makes her uncomfortable and doesn’t want me to befriend them outside of work. So like the title says I’m a male nurse (25) working at a level 3 NICU. I’ve been here for about three years now and a lot of staff is older women with some newer staff being women in their mid twenties like me. I don’t have many friends that I can hang out with.

I'm so tired of administrators presenting videos of educational advocates who declare failure untenable in education. I've had enough of Rick Wormeli telling me I need to give students unlimited retakes on a test. His idea is that kids need to try until they are able to pass, It's not an insane idea in some situations. A lot of kids do need multiple tries at something. However, it seems to be that multiple tries ends up being unlimited tries and the ability to redo something until you find the answers through process of elimination. It's also used to bully teachers into passing kids. Lastly, it discourages kids from really putting in effort. Kids learn over time they don't have to try because they can just do it again. Failure can be a good thing. I've failed in different situations. It's painful and embarrassing, but it taught me something. I sucked at writing going into college. However, through failing essay grades and a lot of effort, I improved. I had to learn something to pass, a
6th grade science. First year teacher. Male. I’m very good with the whole social aspect of the kids and the year’s going very well so far. One of my students, when we were finishing up class and just having casual conversation about food and life as a class, raised hand to say “My mom tells us not to get Starbucks because they support gay people.” I immediately and calmly shut that down, explaining that “that’s a personal and private topic for home that we don’t address in science class. Okay?” and he nodded and clearly appeared nervous and unsure if he was comfortable about what he said. The rest of the class heard it all. It was over and done as quick as that. I’m wondering 1) If I should’ve explained more saying something like “We do not support discrimination of any people; we support and respect everyone” and 2) I’m just wondering, in terms of the parent, and if for any reason I’d ever meet her (parent conference, open house, etc.) am I supposed to bring this up to explain that th

Has anyone ever left their nursing position to take a mental break and were those jobs hesitant to hire you because of it? I truly need a break from nursing to take care of myself mentally. My anxiety is outrageous and I think about work nonstop… but I fear “BSN, RN” on my resume will push recruiters to thinking I’m overqualified.

Part of the reason I went into nursing is because I am (was?) a total night-owl— I used to like to stay up late and I preferred working nights when I worked in retail. Now, only 2.5 years after graduating from nursing school, I have lost all ability to tolerate night shifts. Last night was my first stretch of 3 night shifts—only 8-hours per shift— and by 5:00am I couldn’t think, I could barely form sentences, I couldn’t process what my coworkers were saying to me, and it felt like I was genuinely drunk. It doesn’t feel safe to practice nursing like this. I try to do everything right… like i spread out my caffeine consumption (1 small redbull) throughout my shift, I take my Vyvanse at midnight, I eat lots of snacks, I eat a good meal before work, and I sleep at least 4 hours before my first night shift in a stretch, then 8 hours for each following shift. Despite all that, I feel like absolute death when I work nights. I was perfectly fine with nights 2 years ago, and now it’s like I hav

Pt has a new order for seroquel. Bumped her from 300mg to 400mg okay sure whatever no problem. Go grab the meds and for some reason. Pyxis has me pull two 300mg tablets. What? What am I supposed to do with this? That doesn’t split evenly. Open the eMAR and sure enough “administer 1.3333333 tab” again, what? For a brief moment I consider telling charge that this is stupid and a med error waiting to happen. Haha. Well. :))) I ended up grabbing scissors from an instrument tray to split the pill (since pill splitters don’t split in thirds) then giving her 1 2/3 tab instead of 1 1/3 tab. Yknow, the exact med error I thought about not even 10 minutes prior. I didn’t realize until HOURS later at like 0100. Unrelated (allegedly) to the roughly 500mg seroquel I gave her, her blood pressure ended up bottoming out to 70s/40s. Patient is fine! She got a bolus and her BP came back up she’s just zonked (but rousable) I’m embarrassed more than anything, and I filled out an incident report about it to
