Hello, Title! I work as a PCA and I love it but there is no free time during shift. Some people say they get homework done at work… what jobs would allow for this? EDIT: sadly, it seems night shifts are the usual go to 💔 i do night shifts sometimes as a PCA, but I think I will try to avoid them during nursing school, because I don’t wanna mess up my sleep schedule (because I fear that that would mess up my brain and thus my schoolwork) Thank you all for the replies I appreciate it 🙏🏻 submitted by /u/craniumblast [link] [comments]
I am normally pretty good at my placement it’s an elective surgical ward and everyone is relatively well and I’ve had no people deteriorate so pretty cruisey I have been here about 4/5 weeks. I am getting tireder, less sharp and need more work to sustain myself so I generally work 13 days on ( including placement ) and 1 off. With the 2 being 6 hours work. So 52 a week? We have acute overflow today and I had my first proper high acuity. Older, hospital acquired pressure injuries, FRAIL, woundvacs, unwell. Unhappy. I struggled being able to critically think and I am so tired I just can’t really manage.

I am almost 29 and wanting to pivot from corporate to nursing. I have thought about nursing for a LONG time. I tried to take prerequisites while working full time and that was a challenge for me but I’m ready to finally commit and go back to school full time. I (kind of) have a plan to pay for school. but I’m at a spot with my partner of a future wedding and a family and that part is kind of holding me back. anyone go back to school while being engaged and planning a wedding? was it worth it? We won’t have 100% family financial assistance but a little bit. But if I go back to school, that would push the timeline back a bit. IDK feeling confused.

Year 27 started on Monday. Go back through my previous posts here. Especially if you’re a new(ish) teacher. There might be a few things there that you might find useful. Or you might think I’m full of shit. Whatever. Anywho. I’ve decided that this year I’m going to be all business. I’m going to work, put on the show from 8:40-4:10, and go home. I’m not going to wake kids up that fall asleep or contact parents if a kid is failing. Only in the event of behavior being truly atrocious am I going to bother to reach out to a parent. To the new teachers, I offer this advice: You need to have separation between work and not work. Mr. Zilla is a character I play at work from 8:40am-4:10pm. Outside of that, I’m Jewzilla, or to my closest friends just plain Zilla. I have a mononym. Like Cher. Or Madonna. Or Bono. Do not put your work email on your phone or check your email when you’re not at work. I learned that lesson the hard way after damn near having a breakdown. Seriously. New teachers, go t

Hello my fellow nurses, So i had a patient with scheduled Oxy q4h. It was scheduled 0700, 1100, 1500, 1900. I was running late on my meds and gave her 1100 dose at 12:00pm. Then the next dose I gave it at 1530. I tried not to give it too close but also didnt want to mess up the schedule even more. The next dose I was planning to give at around 1930 when we do 2nd RN bedside check. At 7:15ish i go into the med room to get the oxy. The night nurse goes around the unit looking for me. Eventually she finds me in the med room and says "Emma, can you make sure you give that 1900 oxy". I say yeah I am going to give it. She then goes like, do you still have to give report to others and I say yes. She huffs and puffs and says nevermind I will give her the oxy. I try to tell her that I am already here about to pull the oxy from the pyxis but she walks away and leaves me talking to myself. It was an awkward moment for me and 2 others that were in the med room. Then I look for her to give patient
Okay so there’s a private college in my state that guarantees a spot in their program if you pay their rate. It’s about 100k for the two year program for a BSN. I have a friend that graduated from that program and went into nursing with the mindset that she would make a ton of money and 100k in debt was no biggie. Reality set and she’s considering filling for bankruptcy due to the private 100k loan she took, plus the loans she had from her previous degree, and credit card debt that sustained her for the two years she was in the program. I believe the way social media paints nursing to be this glamorous career that pays a lot of money and has made people believe nursing is the way to go. I went to a regular 4 year university and graduated with 35k in debt (which to me, was a lot). I think about why would anyone agree to pay 100k for a nursing degree???

I am starting nursing school this fall and we have an orientation day before the semester starts. I noticed that there was a math competency section on orientation day, I am not sure what it will entail given that we are going into it not having learned anything prior. I would like to have an idea of what to expect because I don’t want to look like a complete dumbass and I haven’t practiced or learned any dosage calculations or memorized conversions. Did anyone do anything similar on their orientation day? Do they typically expect that you know dosage calc and conversions prior to starting?

UPDATE: There’s a required Zoom meeting for my clinical group on Monday (August 10). She said she wants me to stay for an extra 30 minutes to chat. I’ll update you guys on what happens. Hopefully we find a solution. Thank you all! I appreciate all of your advice, input, and shared experience. Hey all, So for the fall semester, my scheduled clinical day is on Monday.

If I don’t attend, I’m going to miss clinical hours. I’m just feeling so frustrated right now. I specifically mad
Yesterday I went dumpster diving. The reason I went dumpster diving is because I got a call from a fellow teacher saying that all of our classroom (mine and my 2 teammates) things were thrown into the dumpster. At the beginning of June, our school was hit by a tornado. The roof was blown off on our side of the building as well as over the gym. We received one email from the assistant principal saying to not come into the building that particular week of the tornado because there was damage. We have not heard from anyone else about anything that happened to our rooms. Periodically throughout the summer I’ve been getting pictures and messages from other teachers of my room. I put everything away in cabinets before school ended, except for my books and bookshelves, some of my carts, chairs, and big beanbag chairs. The pictures I received were of a totally bare classroom with none of those things in it. Those things were placed in the hallway outside of our rooms so that’s they could get i

In these systems nurses request or bid on premium-pay open shifts, with awards frequently going to the lowest submitted rate while the shift remains open.

Parallel gig platforms such as Clipboard Health explicitly award shifts to the lowest hourly bid, accelerating wage pressure. Long-term structural risks include int

So, this happened around February. I was appalled at the time, but had other things to do. It just went back into my mind and, giving it a bit of thought, I realised how utterly surreal the thing is. So basically, there's this Spanish teacher (I am from Spain, so it would be like an English teacher doing this in the US) admitted, in front of the whole teacher body, that he allows his students to "refine" their writings with ChatGPT. He basically allows them to have it open in class, and "ask it questions on style, grammar and structure". Later on, this same teacher admitted, in another meeting, that he uses a paid ChatGPT account to grade these essays. I am on my summer leave. I am a history teacher, and I was just going over how I am going to avoid students from cheating with AI, and I just connected the dots. This guy isn't running a class. What is happening is that ChatGPT is writing essays, the students present them, then this guy gives it back to ChatGPT to grade them, and if some
Did about twenty years in construction before my knees gave out and I ended up in nursing school. Didn't expect how much of that carried over, but it did. Reading a room that's stressed and not saying so out loud. Knowing a plan's falling apart before anybody's said a word about it. Catching the thing that's a little off before it turns into the thing that went wrong. Framing houses and running crews teaches you all of that whether you want it to or not Still garden most days off and mess around in the woodshop when I can. Working with your hands does something for how your brain sorts problems, carries right over into a shift somehow. Can't explain it exactly but it's there Worked with a nurse who used to teach middle school and you can tell in how she talks patients through things. Had a guy who did four years Army before this, nothing rattles him, floor could be on fire and he's still got that same flat voice.

I’ve decided to switch gears and pursue nursing. I’m planning to apply to ABSN programs this year for 2027 admission. Right now I still have about 4-5 prereqs left (A&P I, A&P II, Microbiology, and Lifespan Development), and I’m hoping to finish them by October since that’s when most ABSN applications are due for spring starts. For some background, I worked as a phlebotomist for about 6 months, volunteered at a free medical clinic for around 1.5 years, and I recently started working as a PCT. The problem is… the job is keeping me behind in my classes. I work four 10-hour shifts a week, and on the days I work I’m completely wiped. I come home, eat, shower, and basically fall asleep. I have almost no motivation or energy left to study, and I’m worried it’s going to affect my grades in these prereqs. My dilemma is that I feel like PCT experience could make me a stronger applicant. I know some ABSN programs like to see clinical experience, and it’d also give me more to talk about in my ess

I am in my new hire orientation today and it's genuinely the most overstimulating environment I've ever been in. Just going in the door there was a drum line, adult cheerleaders, and music blasting from loudspeakers in several locations---including the main hallway where we have to sign in and the gym we had to sit in to wait for 20 minutes. No one needs The Black Eyed Peas that loud at 8am. Loudspeakers are a 10 on a scale of 10. Why are events so overstimulating at teacher events? I'm autistic so it's definitely worse for me (all volume is at the same volume and amplified---the room is genuinely painful), but this can't be pleasant for anyone? submitted by /u/rumiruhaql [link] [comments]
Since college athletes were allowed to sign branding deals in 2021, the debate has continued over whether letting students make money off their names is a good thing.
Just a small rant. The other day I specifically timed my lunch so that I wouldn't take it as the same time as someone who I knew would try to talk to me the whole time. I finally sit down to eat and this random float just started talking to me about anything and everything. I had headphones in and was polite but clear that I wanted to watch something on my phone. Eventually I gave up and left to go to another break room. Then yesterday I finally sat down to eat after precepting all day (exhausting!). As soon as I sat down, our education specialist came into the break room looking for my new person to do some onboarding. Luckily for my new grad, she had gone down to the cafeteria. Unfortunately for me, I was in the break room and the education specialist just started talking to me about our training protocols and how to implement them, etc. I absolutely hate when people do this. My brain is running hard for 12 freaking hours, I need 30 minutes to just chill! Edit: Love you all but pleas
Has anyone else dealt with this? It makes no sense to me. We just received an email that soon teachers will have no access to Chrome browser or Google Drive, and that we have to use Edge browser.

I used to use Jam Board, and it was pretty good for groups of students to make a public question board that didn’t clutter my classroom and drop post-it confetti everywhere. I’ve looked into Figma ( way too complex for what I need) and the post-it app (can multiple people even collaborate on it?) and Miro (looking for a free option). Does anyone know of a simple, sticky note style option that will allow students to post questions to a communal board for free?

it’s very scary how new grad students are applying to NP programs. i thought everybody was against this, but it seems to be a 50/50 opinion, which is baffling to me. nurses that aren’t interested in mental health trying to get into psych NP programs to “work outpatient and make their money,” nurses with no clinical experience thinking their clinical hours done during their BSN program is enough. i hate to discourage those people who are ambitious and want to move forward in their studies, but they obviously don’t care about patient care, which should be a nurse’s #1 priority. it’s frustrating and dangerous to see this happening, because people’s selfish financial desires are putting others who seek medical help at risk. (also, i see people talking about “burnout” and using it as the main excuse for applying to NP programs w/o experience, but if we’re being realistic… if you’ve been a nurse for 2 months and you’re already experiencing burnout, then clearly there’s other aspects of your

I’ve been a nurse for a long time in the ICU.. a more controlled setting. I had a patient recently code on me that was up and talking a few moments before and very young. It has stuck with me and now is causing me some PTSD. After a decade of nursing my emotions are catching up I guess. Today, I had someone code on the sidewalk and upon finding him I thought I felt a pulse but also no one else was around. Thankfully it was close to the ED so I yelled down for some help and narcan. By that point we got to him, EMS didn’t feel a pulse and I was hopping on to do compressions. We started compressions but I keep replaying how I can do better and blaming myself in these situations. Should I have felt for a pulse longer (maybe I felt my own and not his), but then I needed more help either way because no one else was around? Any advice? Since the young girl passed almost two months ago I’ve lost my confidence, I cry every time I bring up that story and feel like maybe I shouldn’t even be a nur
I seriously need to vent because I am so overwhelmed. I’m a first-year 1st grade teacher, and today was only my second day of school. Before school started, our team was given a pacing guide that said we had the first two weeks to focus on teaching classroom routines and procedures while also completing beginning-of-year assessments. The assessments are important because our curriculum has differentiated centers, and we’re supposed to group students based on their assessment results. My team teacher and I spent so much time planning those first two weeks around that pacing guide. I prepped everything. Then today our assistant principal told the K–2 team that the principal wants us to already be teaching curriculum and basically said we should have started on the first day of school. Now I feel like everything I planned is out the window. I haven’t even finished assessing all of my students, so I don’t know how I’m supposed to create my small groups, and I have almost nothing prepared t
I’ve noticed something over the years, and I’m curious if it’s just my experience or if it’s common everywhere. Why does it seem like every school has that one person who’s considered the “snake” on campus? The person who acts friendly to your face but is constantly running to administration about coworkers, spreading gossip, or finding ways to make someone else’s day harder. They seem to know everyone’s business, talk negatively about almost everyone, and somehow always stay in the administration’s good graces. What I’ve never understood is why this seems to be so common in education. Teachers already deal with enough stress from students, parents, testing, and paperwork. Instead of supporting one another, there’s often someone who creates unnecessary drama or tries to gain favor by throwing colleagues under the bus. It almost feels like they’re trying to act as though they’re part of the administrative team, even though they’re on the same pay scale as everyone else. Is there somethi

In Texas, I received my statement of eligibility 3 months ago. Finally got a position in the last moment, but I can see myself crunching a lot because the training already started. At first, I was panicking because they switched me from Algebra 1 to Calculus, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus. It's unexpected, but then I realize that I haven't talked to my mentors or anything. So at the very list, I am not in trouble. Although I stopped panicking, I can still see myself crunching.

The worst part is it ain’t the students. It’s Tuesday night of the first week of school. I had my pre-planning week last week where I had to move classrooms, attend meetings (which I skipped and missed nothing) and plan for the semester. I’m teaching a topic I am not specialized in while the teacher who is specialized in it gets my specialty. I’ve got three mandatory meetings this week during my planning period and no time left to prep. The singular saving grace is I finally have a room where I control the thermostat. I came home with no energy, made a minimalist dinner for my family, conked out on the couch with my dogs and am desperate for the weekend to get here. i just need an end to the meetings, a real planning period and no more busywork for the district.

hi! i’m a 19F 2nd year student. We have dosage tests every semester & i had mine last week.

Infront of the entire class. “You cheated” “I saw you cheat” “You can’t lie” “You need to be honest”. I said “No, i didn’t cheat”. Everytime i denied, his voice got louder and his statements increasing accusatory.
