I just recently took a position as a RN for family medicine within a large hospital organization. I currently do occupational health and am both extremely busy but bored. Prior to my current job I did ER for 8 yrs but got pretty burnt out. Family med RNs do you like your job? Is it boring and or stressful? submitted by /u/Honey_Beez_Knees [link] [comments]

Fellow EL Coordinators or EL teachers - how do your schools schedule your ELs? Our school has overhauled our EL scheduling and it’s a mess right now, two business days from teachers returning and a week and a half from kids returning. A little over a third of our large urban high school are active ELs, and we have around 50 students who have less than three school years in the country (high immigrant neighborhood). Most EL classes, both ESOL/ELD and EL-specific cores, are wide mixes from students with the highest language needs (WIDA 1.0, words and phrases) to almost exiting the program (4.6). As an EL-specific core teacher, this seems insane . Previously, they were leveled - I taught the mid-levels (high 2s to mid 4s) and another teacher taught the lower proficiency students (1s and 2s, mostly newcomers). What does your school do? submitted by /u/mrsyanke [link] [comments]
I was an LPN was 10 years and just became an RN this pass May. I got a job as a cath Lab nurse since I love the heart. I knew it would be hard to learn and was ready for the challenge. I do 4 10s and love the pacing of it. My co-workers are are mostly travelers even my Preceptor is a traveler. Today I was pulled into the mangers office and was basically told that after 60 days I should be doing better then where I'm at and should be more independent by now (origination is 90 days) . I was blind sided by this and was basically told that my manger has heard not so nice things about me from my co-workers and a part of me thinks that because I don't really connect with them very much they just don't want me there. I got put on an action plan and in the next 6 weeks I have to be able to fly solo I think I can do it but I think even if I do there is just gonna be another reason to fire me and nothing I can really do will fix this. So should I just get a new job Some other important points ma
Soon I'm starting my first year teaching ELA 10th & 11th sped ( resource). This is America btw. For the 1st quarter we will be doing a unit of short stories. The short stories will mostly be set in winter. I have room for a few more. What are your favorite short stories, that are around 6th grade (≈ 12 years old) reading level. While I would prefer winter tales, feel free to offer anything. If a story is good enough I can make it fit. So what are your favorites? submitted by /u/ResponsibleIdea5408 [link] [comments]
10+ years experienced RN here… Quickly after starting at an outpatient rheumatology clinic I noticed the culture is to work through your lunch, take a short lunch, or even skip your lunch to keep the schedule running…I notice nurses also stay after work, handle a lot of admin stuff for future appointments, carry out “routine orders” with only a verbal communication, sometimes said orders are written out but not signed by an MD (I guess they eventually get around to it?), communication between shifts are also so unorganized that RNs write memos out on paper and just place them over the face sheet in the paper chart! This is meant to functions as a hand off report for you to base your eval and treatment?! They most concerning thing is that staff rushes like there’s no tomorrow. I have worked ICU and the way these people are rushing you’d think it was something really acute but they’re just trying to not fall behind schedule. I had to move to a new city so took this job as it seemed like
context i work as a housekeeper in 3 different clinical offices. when i first started i had at LEAST 2 full big bags of trash at the end of the night to take to the dump. Now im having like one? 3/4th of one? and the trash in each exam room is just less, a pair of gloves here or a bed cover there. I havent even replaced a needle box in months. Two of the clinics also only see patients on certain days (like 2 times a week based on trash pickup) Is there a reason for the decline? Are people just not coming to the doctors as often? how is this affecting nursing, cause I also feel like im noticing some of the nurses stations in my clinics are set up like someone works there and the next day their stuff is gone. im curious if you all think i am at risk of these offices closing? submitted by /u/finnabiar [link] [comments]
What's up with this place? I picture just an empty room in Tallahassee with a phone ringing nonstop. They sent me this email message two weeks ago "Assistance Team has received your email. Please do not send duplicate requests for assistance. We are currently working with limited staff which may result in longer than usual response times". The assistance doesn't want to be bothered twice when they don't help you the first time. submitted by /u/rexjred1 [link] [comments]
I’m about three months into a new clinic job and the doctor I work for has a reputation for being a jerk. Recently he’s been asking me how long I will be staying and made a bet I quit at six months…. I usually just respond with I will just keep you guessing and laugh it off but today it hurt… we had a meeting with the rest of the team and in front of them he made several comments at my expense of being new and again brought up his bet of six months. I just kind of looked around and smiled and then left and cried in front of these other nurses not part of my team…. I’m not sure how to react anymore… I want it to stop but don’t want to confront him or escalate things. I really like my new job otherwise and want to make it work despite the stress of learning new things. I think this hurt more because it was in front of people outside of our team, everyone reassured me that he actually likes me and thinks he is being funny… but this is tiring… how do I respond? Kind of adding to my feeling
I’m a teacher with a toddler who is very active. We have such little paid time in the classroom to prepare and his daycare doesn’t begin until my contract officially resumes. I’m feeling so stressed wondering how I’ll get everything ready. I don’t even know how I’ll unpack the car with him present. I need to collate and decorate and I feel so stressed. I tried making a to do list, I just don’t know how I’m going to do it with a little one running around. The last thing I want to do is to go in during the evening during the precious few hours we get to be with my husband. submitted by /u/Final-Elephant4945 [link] [comments]
I have an interview next week for a new grad RN at a smaller hospital. I have to go to Europe (for 3 weeks) in December to see my grandmother whose health is declining, and they’re afraid she has 8-12 months to live. Do I let them know about my prior arrangements during the interview or if/when they offer me a job? I’m hoping that if I start in August it would give them a 4 months heads up. Mind you this hospital does not have a formal nurse residency, so I dont have classes to go to every month. I might be overthinking everything..but jobs have been so hard to get around my area.

Introduction: Academic health centers have invested in academies and related structures to promote health professions education (HPE) scholarship, yet many struggle to sustain vibrant scholarly communities. We aimed to identify lessons for building and sustaining scholarly communities that support HPE scholarship. Methods: Using a constructivist approach, we conducted a qualitative interview study in 2025 with leaders from across all four geographic regions of the U.S. Inclusion criteria required that participants direct an academy or other institutional structure intended to promote educational scholarship, and that they could speak to building and sustaining scholarly communities of practice in their local context. The Communities of Practice framework informed interview guide development and data interpretation. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, de-identified, and analyzed using a six-phase thematic analysis process. Results: Twenty-one academy leaders described five inte

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring Francis Esteban Matos for a period of 5 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Matos was convicted of a felony under Federal law. The factual basis supporting Mr. Matos's conviction, as described below, is conduct relating to the importation into the United States of a drug or controlled substance. Mr. Matos was given notice of the proposed debarment and was given an opportunity to request a hearing to show why he should not be debarred. As of May 18, 2026 (more than 30 days after receipt of the notice), Mr. Matos had not responded. Mr. Matos's failure to respond and request a hearing constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this matter.

Hi! I’m in the Seattle area and there are 0 teaching jobs available - unless you’re in SPED. Since April I’ve been routinely checking Seattle, Highline, Tukwila, Renton, Kent, Federal Way, and Auburn. There’s nothing. I’ve heard rumors that August is the new status quo for external hires (not April or May anymore). I’m a first year teacher - hopeful. In the event I can’t find a teaching position, what would be the better alternative between subbing or being a paraprofessional? Or, do you have other suggestions?

Hello, I did my first interview with the recruiter last week. She then got me a second interview with the unit manager (Tuesday). I felt like everything went well. The manager told me that the recruiter will contact me to set a date for a shadow the unit. The recruiter called me the next day (yesterday). We set the date and that was it. This evening about 40 minutes ago, I got an email saying the position has been filled. I’m so confused. I don’t want to panic. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? Edit: I emailed the recruiter and manager yesterday saying thank you for the opportunity after the interview and that I look forward to meeting her in person for the shadow date (interview was virtual).

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some advice. I have really good behavior management, and with great behavior management comes the most insane kids in my classroom because I can “handle” it. I don’t mean to be negative because I love teaching, but I’m getting pretty burnt out because every year my class is super stacked with challenging students (to say the least). My teammates get pretty well-behaved students, which is creating a huge imbalance with our class makeup. I’m not exactly sure who to go to about this or even what to say when bringing this up.

I recently got into the world of oncology and actually like it! Started last year and looking to continue down that path until I graduate from grad school. Recently applied to a PT position for inpatient oncology at a hospital very close to me. I shadowed on the floor as part of my in person interview. It’s a 10 bed unit with a mixed population of Onc, gender affirmation and K pouch patients. Cool not a problem. I find out on the same day that I would also be cross training to their sister unit which is a “40” bed unit of surgical patients (it’s actually 48. Didn’t find out until 2 days into orientation). Basically med/surg. This past Monday, which was my first day of orientation I was told to meet at the sister unit for floor orientation. I’m thinking cool, leadership wants to go over some things before taking me to the floor I’m supposed to be on. That’s when I find out that I’ll actually be orienting on the sister unit. Not only will I be on the med/surg floor, I’ll be there for the
Hey All! I recently posted that I had an interview on a Saturday. But if I hadn’t heard back by now I assume I didn’t get the job. I was teaching 6th grade math but was dropped due to budget cuts (I’m in Florida). At least that was the official reason. I have had plenty of interviews including one at a new charter school opening up. I actually was asked to return for a second interview! I would prefer to be in the public school system over a charter school but right now I just want a job. It stinks that I and many are in this position due to budget cuts. My old school recently posted my old job and I did apply. But I doubt I’ll get it. If they wanted me they would have found a way to keep me. They also have my info to contact me. And the school was very corrupt with obvious favoritism. Many people left on their own. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise to have been dropped from that school. Teachers return August 3rd. I know schools hire year round so I’m trying not to worry too much. It
I am an incoming first year first grade teacher. I was hired beginning of the month, and I finished all of my onboarding last week. We start orientation on the 10th, and the first day of school is the 24th.

When will I find out about all of this, and be invited to start setting up my classroom? Does this usually happen during orientation?

I’m going into level 2 of nursing school. I was looking forward to my career as a nurse but the more I read of how little people make makes me question things. For example, I am a service leader at chipotle making $21/hr. I have already been offered assistant gm position which can average around 50-60k. It wouldnt be long after that position that a Gm position would arise and those can range between 70-100k. Due to school I’ve turned down the promotion. My point is, what’s the point of working such a seemingly grueling and unrewarding job like nursing where people make just as much as chipotle management? A job I’ve come to be very good at and find easy? It now makes me realize why people say nurses should be paid more because they are doing more valuable work. submitted by /u/JumpDouble2247 [link] [comments]
Hey all! Taking my hesi admission exam on saturday. The schools admission exam consists of Math, Reading, Vocab and A&P. I’ve spent quite a bit of time studying A&P, it was my weakest subject. This is followed by Math, but the only thing i struggle with there is fractions (i’m 10 years out from high school and i was a burnout back then) Will I be using fractions often enough in school/work to really justify relearning them? Decimals, Ratios, conversions, etc I’m rock solid with.

We’ve reached that time of year again! It’s almost time to get our rosters, where 15/30 students have 504s and IEPs, and nearly every accommodation has been selected for them. All 15 need to be near instruction, have frequent check ins, extended time, reduced workload to show mastery, the ability to leave the room upon request, and separate testing with a teacher or supervisor who doesn’t exist. You begin to realize quickly that it’s basically impossible to enforce consistent rules and procedures since a majority of students are an exception to whatever rules you’re trying to institute. We desperately need SPED reform. I dare any principal, case manager, counselor, or school executive to say that the current setup is realistic or doable. At our school, 504 accommodations are rarely even based on substantive data! But that doesn’t stop them from checking every box without a thought as to how teachers will implement 20 accommodations per day. My proposal: limit the number of accommodatio

I just started a new job in an outpatient clinic setting as a Clinic Nurse, and my badge says that but it’s tiny print. All staff have identical, bland ID badges whether they be an MA, phlebotomist, receptionist, manager, etc. I’ve noticed some MAs have their own badge buddies that say “Medical Assistant,” or MA, and some RNs have custom badge buddies saying RN or Registered Nurse. I’m only one year into nursing so I still am excited by the RN badge, so I feel a little egotistical by getting myself a plain RN badge buddy for my badge. But then again, there are tasks in the clinic that only RNs can do so I do want to be recognized as someone to pull for wound care, med admin, etc. Should I get my own little plain RN badge buddy?? submitted by /u/clarajane24 [link] [comments]
