I just had my first baby 3 weeks ago. I adore her even though she’s truly a sack of potatoes at this point. But I can’t help but yearn to go back to work. I’ve been unemployed since the start of my second trimester (rough pregnancy). Before that, I was a teacher for about 10 years. I LOVE teaching. It’s not for everyone and there’s definitely a reason why so many quit, but it’s definitely the career for me. I’ve been missing the classroom ever since I left last year. Now that the start of the new school year is coming, I’m dying to go back even more. I have a few potential offers but I have so much shame in even considering it. If I accept the job, my baby will be about 6 weeks or so when I start. I would potentially have to put her in some childcare as well, which means her possibly getting sick. I feel like something is wrong with me. I am blessed with a village around me to support me during the newborn stages. I could stay at home with the baby for more time. But I don’t want to. I
More of a vent post than anything. Was in CVICU for 2.5 years and got out because of the stress and constant running around. Didn't even sit for more than 10 minutes at a time. Thought going into pacu would change things. Pacu isn't any easier almost a year in. On Thursday, I had to do post mortem care for a premie baby on the adult side of pacu. Was told it was 18 weeks but when they brought him down, he had to be 5-6 pounds and further than that. Obviously was incredibly attentive to the parents and gave them time to say goodbye. Then I had to undress the baby and put him in a damn fucking bucket and take him to the morgue. They can't come up with more than a fucking bucket? Pushing his little arm through his sleeve still haunts me. Poor mom asked me to keep him wrapped in his blanket. Worst shift ive ever had, 9 years in. Not looking for advice, just need to vent to people who understand. I never wanted to be peds for this reason and yet here we are. Applied for a non nurse position

My team of 3 (elementary school) plans together. I joined the team two years ago, after 5 years on a different team in the building that I got along well with - we didn’t plan together, but always shared resources. I’ve had a system for my lesson plans for years where I keep everything in a Google sheet with the first tab being links for important documents, websites, and resources, followed by tabs with student info/data, then lessons. I shared this my first year on the team, but no one took me up on any of it or even commented on it, so I assumed they didn’t find it helpful. I continued using it on my own, in conjunction with the team planning sheet. That said, I updated my personal sheet for this year to include a new tab with links to all of our curriculum slides and shared it with my team in case they found that helpful. My teammate replied all, saying she’s confused and thinks we should all just use one planning document so no one is doing extra planning, and I’m welcome to chang

I’m going into my second year teaching. Last year I went over rules and procedures day one. It was pointless because of so many schedule changes. I was teaching high school last year, but this year will be teaching middle school (6th). Anywho, I am just curious why some say you must start with teaching procedures explicitly, yet others say you absolutely need to jump into content, and then there’s the community building camp. Please explain. submitted by /u/Normal_Weight6393 [link] [comments]
Tl;dr: Just needed to vent. I’ve spent most of my time in education teaching at IB schools, and I can safely say that I cannot stand IB schools. At the end of the day it’s just more work on teachers. You could argue that I just haven’t found the school that “does IB correctly”, and you’d probably be correct. But at least in Northern Virginia in Prince William County, IB is just a framework given to Title 1 schools to increase enrollment. IB and Title 1 DO NOT MIX. If you knew anything about the demographics of our schools you’d know it’s just done for theater. If the county actually gave a damn about following the IB framework, they’d do something about all these behavior problems. But that’s neither here nor there. Anyway, at the end of the day I still have bills to pay so I’ll tough it out for one more year. submitted by /u/Emergency-Pepper3537 [link] [comments]
Putting aside my pride here. I’m desperate, what shoes are you guys wearing during your shifts that you feel like your feet aren’t sweating in? I’m not looking for sneakers here!! Anything else!! Are crocs really my only option? Any cooling compression socks recommendations?

As the “ugh, BOY PD” posts crop up, so do the “ugh, you’re all so MISERABLE, just LEAVE TEACHING if you hate it so much” comments. And I’m so over it. First, every Positive Polly pulls this crap—equating any complaint with misery and hatred—and with all due respect, if you can’t fathom the concept of someone using an online forum to help them compartmentalize their feelings so they don’t bring negativity into a professional space, you may not be as joyful and in touch with your emotions as you’d like to believe. Second, it is completely reasonable to dislike icebreakers in general, or to get tired of “learning” about the same people for twenty years in a row, or to just want more time for planning and room setup. Especially when the cutesy activities take hours. A couple years ago, my legacy-obsessed school did a staff GTKY activity where we were split into teams and toured the entire campus. We saw the bomb shelter, various hidden rooms, the roof, etc. In each hallway, photos of facul
My district is starting a new policy in the fall. Kids can have their phones on them, but not use them - not even during lunch. Teachers have a cell phone caddy where they put it in during class, although many students just hold onto them in their pocket. It's tough to police them when students say they don't have a phone yet it's in their jeans. Do you have a similar policy and has it worked? I'm assuming admin will enforce the policy, not as sure with individual teachesr. submitted by /u/flatteringhippo [link] [comments]
I hear the importance of collaborating, bonding with coworkers, and being likable, but I also hear the importance about “protecting your peace”, avoiding negativity, and having downtime to collect yourself. As a new teacher this fall, what do you plan to do this school year in this area? What’s the balance? Edit: Wow this post kinda blew up! I’m glad that I was able to initiate some good discussions and appreciate everyone who contributed and still is. I find it interesting how many different answers there are across the spectrum. I guess it really depends on each individual. submitted by /u/Dapper_Island4437 [link] [comments]
Hello! I am in a bit of a predicament! I will be attending my very first Quinceañera in about 2 weeks and I have some questions… not sure where else to post this to ask, figured I’d try here because I was the teacher of the student. For context: I am a female in my mid 20s, living in the Midwest, and I no longer teach within the high school and district that I was at last year due to significant budgetary reductions. I will be attending a Quinceañera for a student I had this past year. She is a twin and I only had the one sister that invited me with a hand delivered invitation in the last week of school. I have already confirmed my attendance and have briefly met the parents, twin sister, and a few of the other students I expect will be in attendance. The family has reserved the ball room in a local higher end hotel typically used for large traditional weddings. I will not be attending the church service as it does not align with my own beliefs and the family is aware I will only be th
Kid had phone in their pocket in September : I sent them to the office, administrator talks to them, administrator holds their phone for the rest of the day, student is escorted back to class and required to apologize, parent contact is made. Kid has phone in their pocket post-November : Comes back to class and says "they said it was okay because I wasn't on it". Cool.

Patient: I’m glad my wife isn’t here today so I could keep talking to you Me: … wah- Yes I tried to make excuses that maybe he just meant his wife gets jealous easily or something, then he asked if I wanted his number.

So I started a new job. Went through nursing orientation. They told us we were gonna have to take a math test, 20 questions and that you could only miss two. You get a retake. But if you miss more than two again, you’re fired. It’s part of their policy and if it’s nowhere in the contract. Has anyone encountered this? I think it’s absolutely bizarre. I missed three questions and now I have to retake it. And they were dumb mental math errors or a conversion error (answered in L and it was mL).

I have a 30-minute homeroom. According to my administrators, I am supposed to have some type of learning happening. The students should not use HR as "free" time. I don't have a problem with that, but the issue is that the students trickle in at different times. Some of them will be there for the entire 30 minutes while others will arrive with 0 minutes to spare. Honestly, no one else on my grade level gives work during homeroom, but I would like to try. I feel like the kids who are there for 10-30 minutes could be doing something other than playing on Chromebooks. What activities would you suggest? Would you use the work for a grade? How would you handle the students who wouldn't have time to even start the assignment? Would you just go with the flow of the other teachers and ignore the mandate? I teach 8th-grade ELA, so my homeroom is only 25% of the students that I teach. Whatever I do would not benefit the other students since they have different homeroom teachers. submitted by /u/
I transitioned to a different hospital system and went from inpatient med surge to outpatient dialysis. While I do enjoy the job and definitely find it slower paced than my toxic med surge unit……the organization of the unit and incompetence of my coworkers is astounding! So many med errors! First thing is techs on this unit can give iv Heparin which I don’t agree with as it is beyond their scope. People just give meds without going into the electronic medical record. For example techs will give heparin at 8am and then not scan or document for hours! Sadly my unit does not have “The Brain” on epic which does not help with organization. You know how you’re supposed to log in, go into their profile, ask their name and age of birth, make sure it matches the page, scan the med, make sure the med, dose, and route is correct, hit accept and then prep to give. These people just give meds without doing any of that. Most people who do are not medically licensed as a nurse. If I were to do any of
I’m a first year high school teacher in northeast US and I have no idea wtf I’m doing. I’m trying to figure out what week one will look like. I’ll have over 100 students (I only had 50 for student teaching). I’m overwhelmed, intimidated, and social media doesn’t help one bit. I see these reels that give you ideas for organization, planning, and icebreakers. Make a sticky note for every behavior, track and write a minimum of 30 emails home about positive celebrations but another 30 for behavior management. keep records of every moment in the classroom. Make cute decorations, personalize everything, develop catchphrases….do teachers actually do all of these things? Is it all fluff for IG or am I really going to be designing costumes to wear and writing motivational speeches? I love the teaching element. I love student interaction and making connections. And my students loved me. I’m warm and genuinely caring. But I’m not a flowery, creative person. I don’t know how to make things pretty
So, I have this nurse in her 20s. I’m in my 50s, and I recently transferred to what is considered the top tier unit in my hospital. This was the first time I was giving this nurse report. The first day, the nurse was pretty tough during report. That first night, we had an issue with the PCA. The patient and family were upset, so it was a stressful situation. The second night, the patient was complaining of pain, nausea, and not being able to sleep. The patient had already been in the hospital for 40 days and was very frustrated with the plan of care because the patient felt the doctors hadn’t explained things well. During report, I told the oncoming nurse that the patient was upset and frustrated. I had already spoken with the doctor, and they were coming by to talk with the patient. The patient wanted clarification about several things. Suddenly the nurse said, “That’s weird, because with me yesterday the patient didn’t have a problem at all. It seems like the patient’s problems happe

No, no I won't. That was an email we got. I normally don't check my email over the summer, but I'm waiting to hear about something. Our principal sent that email, and we go back next week. Look, I don't want to sit in the media center, look at a stupid slideshow, and have social time. Leave me alone so I can work in my classroom and get ready. I hate this contrived "we are family" BS. EDIT: I LOVE teaching. I love my students and subject. Even my school is pretty decent. Forced socialization of staff is an insult to me as far as I'm concerned, and after 23 years of that BS and not having enough contract time in my classroom, I'm done is all.

My school and district are doing the pendulum swing away from tech. Instead of "use tech when it is best suited and use paper when it makes sense" it is now that any tech is the devil and is the sole reason why we're getting low scores and having behavior problems. I like tech integration but okay. I guess I can do that. The catch? We're still only getting one box of paper per year and one box of 144 pencils. Anything. Else we supply on our own. It might be fine for math, but the texts they're demanding to see the kids physically annotating (even though their test is digital and they can't do that on any of their assessments) are anywhere between 4-12 pages long. So 12 pages for 179 kids plus even two sheets of work and that's half your case right there. We're usually doing a text a week on the pacing guide. We can't even bump the pacing guide and go back to novels either. They took the book room due to a large number of students with disabilities and sent all the books back to the war

More recently, I started working in case management/utilization review because I wanted to experience the other side of nursing besides bedside. It's been a nice change, but I don't think I could do it forever, and the pay is definitely lower than bedside. I've always wanted to pursue a graduate degree because I genuinely value higher education and continuing to grow professionally. I put it off for years because I was travel nursing and waiting to settle into a hospital with tuition reimbursement. Growing up in a low income family, my biggest goals have always been financial stability and independence, a better work life balance, provid
Hi, I'm a 25-year-old woman working in Germany. I started working as a teacher at a high school last year, which I really enjoy. However, I think I made a mistake by accepting friend requests on Instagram from students who graduated last year. I have a few photos on Instagram from my vacation and such where I’m wearing a bikini, and you can see my butt and stuff pretty clearly…. I assume these students sent those photos to the current students, since I’ve already found them on some of the students’ iPads.

I graduated from HGSE’s masters program in ed tech in 2016. It was such a hopeful time. Lots of new companies. Lots of VC money floating around. Worked at an Ed tech startup, got funding to launch a community makerspace in a low income area, and did product design consulting on several STEM/creative toy kits. Spent 2020-2024 running a technical ed program for a gun violence intervention nonprofit. And over the last two years I’ve been running a similar program at a smaller nonprofit. I know the reality of the job market right now, but god damn, Ed tech seems to have been gutted hard. I’m trying to see if this relentless focus on getting AI features into everything Ed tech is actually just an opportunity to do the opposite. Tools that leverage all the aspects of a product that AI integration sort of ruins or dumbs down. Anyone else feeling this way?

I'm in Texas! My first year of teaching was at a very small private school, it was self contained, 3rd grade, and I had 8 kids. I got into a power struggle of sorts with one kid, and she was expelled because of my rock solid documentation. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was just hard all the time, despite being the easiest possible situation. To be fair, I was off of ADHD medication, but still. The next year was at a charter school, starting the week of Halloween in a 1st grade classroom. I got into another power struggle with a kid who drove another student out of my class with his wild, violent behavior. He eventually left the school mid year because his mother thought I was being unfair (and I found out he had joined our school right before I started because his regular public school had the same problems with him). My principal openly hated me, I had panic attacks, it just sucked. Now I'm on two new medications from that year for anxiety. This year, I got offered a job teac

I’ve been looking into applying to other hospitals but my coworkers tell me it’s no use since it’s the same everywhere. Is that true?

I've been working on a med-surg floor for 3 weeks. I tried to move up to 4 patients today. I went to do some peri care for my patient this afternoon. She had a small PE and declined her blood thinner this morning. She was super funky, and I was trying to teach her how to wipe properly. We got her linens changed, and I was about to change her gown. She got diaphoretic, and I thought her SOB was giving her a panic attack. I tried to calm her down and put her oxygen back on. I thought she was being really dramatic because she had been freaking out about coughing up a blood clot in sputum earlier and making really theatrical gagging noises. (Edit- my mentor advised me previously not to allow attention-seeking behavior to slow me down. I've been trying to figure out what that would be. I was confused about whether this counted because it seemed odd.) I called the nurse training me for her opinion. She had me take vitals. She seemed confused, too. I have a point I remember when I started to
