Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
I work at a large community clinic and our medication management agreement explicitly forbade using marijuana (even medical marijuana), alcohol, and illegal drugs if we prescribe you any narcotic substance. Enforcement has been varied, but I have definitely talked with some old ladies on the phone sobbing that their friend gave them a CBD gummy and, even though it helped them cut their Norco usage in half, they swear they'll never do it again! I serve on the ethics committee as the nurse rep with a bunch of docs and senior execs. From a harm reduction perspective I was able to get them to vote to strike the language. I thought I had won! No! It took months of hounding our forms committee to actually change the language in the contract. But it just went through last week! And they actually took the whole line out about alcohol and drugs too! OK?! I'll be upfront that the data on cannabis and opioid usage is mixed. It's not black and white. But at the end of the day, I advocated for meem
I am considering becoming a high school math teacher in Georgia. For those who teach or have taught high school math: What do you like most and least about the job? How difficult are classroom management and student behavior? I enjoy teaching math and helping students, but I want to understand the daily reality before committing to the certification process. Honest experiences—both positive and negative—would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/kjliao [link] [comments]
I was shopping at Home Depot today and the fire alarm went off. It didn't even register, I just figured it was one of the forklifts beeping. I even said to my partner "wow that forklift must be right in the next aisle it's so loud" as I continued to shop until a woman ran up yelling that this wasn't a drill. I was so confused, I didn't understand what she meant by "not a drill" until she said the store was on fire. I think I need a holiday lol.

a huge reason I have not gotten serious about my transition/come out in all my social circles is because I am scared to come out at work :,) I live in Appalachia, I have enough coworkers who are progressive and very kind, but it’s just so scary to me and I barely know any LGBT nurses, let alone someone in my boat who I can actually talk to about it (don’t really want to breach it with a coworker first lol).

Our summer K-3 students went on a field trip to the science museum today. As we’re looking at sea lions in the local ecology exhibit, one of my second graders turns around to see three women dressed in black burqas. This student whips back around to me and says, quite loudly, “TEACHER MAR, WHY ARE THERE BLACK PEOPLE” Obviously I freeze in shock/horror and apologize. Luckily, the women thought it was hilarious. Anyway, needless to say we had a chat about religious diversity when we got back to school. submitted by /u/octopiarewetspiders [link] [comments]

Doctor here. Genuine question for the people who actually run the wards and homes. Watching staff build the same collection of bits from scratch for the tenth time in a shift (the same gloves,wipes,pads,bags pilgrimage around the store room) makes me think the pack manufacturers have never actually watched anyone work. Blank slate: if you could have any situation turned into a ready made grab and go pack, what would it be? The job where you're always hunting the same items. The 3am task where half of what you need is in a locked cupboard. The thing you do rarely enough that nobody remembers where everything is, but urgently enough that it matters. And the follow-up: what would it need to contain to be actually right, not manufacturer right?

I need feel like patients are just so ever reliant on nurses and want us to just do everything for them, even the simplest of things. I helped a patient with her food menu and listed the choices Her: what would you choose nurse Me: well it’s your menu so it’s your choice Her: well what would you pick Me: I’d eat any of it so it’s your choice Her: oh you just fill it in for me and put anything down. Then rolled over and went to sleep But why? Just choose what you want 😭 why do I have to choose your meals or just guess what you like. Then typically the food came and she was like I would have never ordered beef I haven’t eaten red meat in years. AHHHHHHH why didn’t you say that It happens with clothes. You help someone to dress and you ask them what they want to wear and they want us to decide for them. I ask patients it they want pain relief and they will say oh I don’t know do you think I should take some. Then I ask if they are in pain and they say yes. So if they know they are in pain
I think it’s widely known by almost everyone that the first year of teaching is very hard. It doesn’t magically get easy afterward, but from what I’ve seen, the first year is uniquely challenging. The folks who don’t know this include a lot ot prospective and current first year teachers, many of whom are wondering why they’re struggling, if they’re not good enough, and whether they’ll make it. I think it could be helpful to hear from those who made it through that first year. Whether you just finished it or went through it 30 years ago, I know you have stories. Let’s read some of them and help current and soon-to-be first year teachers see that it isn’t or won’t be just them. submitted by /u/leafstudy [link] [comments]

I've seen nurses on Instagram and youtube from i believe USA who take their scrubs home with them. I, as someone who works in elderly care in sweden, could get fired if I'd take the scrubs home with me because of hygiene. Same for my parents, who are both nurses. So my question is, do you have your personal scrubs in other countries? And how would that work with hygiene since it is no guarantee that they get washed after every shift. submitted by /u/Livhoefer [link] [comments]
I work as a bike coach for kids (mostly ages 6-12), and there are these two siblings (10 and 12) that have been giving me a weird feeling. I'm not trying to diagnose them or say every strict religious family is a cult or anything, but some of the stuff they've said has me wondering if they're from some really high-control religious group. The first thing that caught me off guard was they told me they have 12 siblings. One of them mentioned he was about to become an uncle, so I asked how old the sibling having the baby was. They both said 45. Then I asked how old their mom was and they said 57, and their dad was 68. The math obviously doesn't make sense so I'm assuming they either got the ages wrong or there's something else going on there. But im mostly concerned about how they talk about anything vaguely related to religion. We were doing one of those little icebreaker discussions with the kids and asked everyone what their favorite holiday was. Another kid said christmas, and these t
So for summer school, they gave us a STEAM curriculum instead of an ELA one, and while I'm upset because they didn't give us any real training or direction yet expect us to follow it with 'fidelity,' and they gave us no real paid planning time to understand the curriculum, I am appreciating how engaged the kids seem to be while building things. My summer admin gave half my supplies for one of the projects to another teacher, so instead I brought in legos and the kids are having fun using them to build their project. I forgot how cool legos were, and also how creative kids can be while building stuff. While I still feel inadequate to teach a STEAM class, I think I may take some ideas from this and use it in my regular classes next school year. submitted by /u/Consistent-Row-9551 [link] [comments]

I just celebrated my one year of being a nurse. It's been mostly fine. Stressful, but it's a living and I like my job enough. The team is good. I'm in my preferred specialty. I feel well supported, blah blah. But as an introvert I HATE THE NURSES STATION. Everyone walks up to say hi (EVS, dietary, providers, social work, literally everyone you could think of). I hear every call bell. I hear the secretary and other nurses typing. I hear the printer. I hear every phone call the secretary takes. I love talking to others so I get sucked into conversations, but I since I'm an introvert that depletes my social energy. It takes just as much energy to lock in and ignore conversations. I feel hypervigilant at the nurses station. If I have downtime (it's not every day but I work in mother baby and sometimes census is low), I feel like it's unacceptable to do anything other than scroll on my phone or talk to someone. I can't read a book, step away, or do anything else. I can't chart somewhere mor
I gave 10 years to Baldi Middle School. I attended Baldi as a student, returned there as a teacher, helped build programs, raised a lot of funding ($500,000+), and worked hard to support students and the school community. When the new principal came in, things changed. Over time, responsibilities I had built and carried were taken away (sometimes without my knowledge), I was removed from spaces and programs I helped create, and I experienced a pattern of exclusion that I believe was unfair and unprofessional. Then I was told to move all my stuff into a moldy closet, which was now going to be my office. This year, all three art teachers were initially marked for forced transfer. The most senior teacher remained. I had the next highest seniority. The least senior teacher ultimately received the CTE Commercial Arts position. I tried to pursue that position the right way. I hold Art K-12 certification, Technology K-12 certification, and have more than 20 years of private-sector experience
I work in a 300 bed level 2 trauma hospital. My department is called vascular access team, other nurses call us "IV team" "PICC team" "ultrasound IV nurse," etc. I've been doing it for close to 5 years and worked in VAT at different hospitals. Total 11 years of nursing including med/surg, ER, outpatient. I was so excited and felt so cool when I first started this specialty. Now I'm just always irritated and tired when I'm at work. They staff exactly one VAT nurse per day at my hospital. But we cover all of inpatient, outpatient CT&MRI, and also do scheduled outpatient PICCs. Supposedly our main duty is picc&midline insertion and help with difficult PIVs requiring ultrasound guidance only if we're free. But most of the time the PIVs are what makes my day so hectic and half of the time they're easy sticks that an average inpatient nurse should be able to get. I'm tired of going back and forth with providers and nurses asking for renal consult for CKD/ESRD patients before placing a picc.
I’ve been a nurse for 25 years. I’ve been going through the worst of the worst of my life and I’ve lost 20 pounds. Somebody reported that they thought I was on drugs so they pulled me off the floor took me to HR and drug tested me. I totally was humiliated. At first I was thinking they’re not gonna find anything but then I remembered I had had two kava shots the night before. Then when I googled it, it had not had any Kratom listed, but it said that it was a synthetic Kratom stupid me. I’m wondering if I could get fired for having Kratom in my system? Not that I was drinking them at work or anything. Not that I have any drugs in my system, but I have proof that there is nothing listed on there. Anyone have experience with this? I don’t even know if they’re gonna check for Kratom. Thank you everyone for your feedback. I know drinking those things is addictive. I wasn’t drinking a ton. I just know it was in my system.

This fall will be year 10 for me teaching high school social studies, specifically Government and AP Human Geography. Every single year I have completely new ideas I want to try, or small tweaks I want to make to materials I used last year. And I always think “YES this year will be IT” And then inevitably, I learn something new, something doesn’t quite go as smoothly as I predicted, I make a mental note for next year, then rinse and repeat. Every single year lol. Every year I think I become even better. So my question is, is there ever a time when you’ve reached the “end”? Like the max good teacher level? Reaching the final level of being a good teacher? Beating the last boss, if you will? Or is this just one long journey of continual improvement? I think I am a good teacher. But I also thought I was a good teacher 5 years ago! I think back to what I was doing in 2021 or so and I’m like “what on earth was I thinking?!” submitted by /u/catrat242 [link] [comments]

Hello all, I’m a day shifter on step down. I’m not sure how yalls unit works but on mine it’s an ongoing crisis of meds not being given and then your whole display is full of big RED marks saying OVERDUE and they never fall off unless you document on it. I’ve noticed a lot of nurses chart, “Not given previous shift”. I hate the clutter but I get worried that it could open you up to some sort of liability should something horrible happen. Ex. Pt didn’t receive Keppra over night you charted “not given previous shift” and then the pt has a seizure, could that open you up to scrutiny like, “why didn’t you notify the provider”, “you recognized the med wasn’t given why didn’t you escalate this”. Same thing charting on Abx, pt gets sepsis, so many examples. Also a med could be given but not scanned it happens, if I don’t know with 100% certainty that it was given or not I can’t assign my name to that charting. You could chart like MD notified and such but that would take forever and probably

For anyone wondering how the strike at BWH is going, despite admin saying the hospital is running “business as usual”, that is most certainly not the case! Only 1,300 scab nurses hired to cover 4,000 nurses. Doesn’t sound like business as usual to me! Reports of med errors, nurses not knowing what care is involved for our specialized patients, not having access to charts or medications until a few hours into their shift, all awful stuff. Not allowing the staff nurses to walk off their units the morning of the strike for a few hours in units like the NICU due to MGB not adequately preparing for the strike. Last night, *allegedly* someone in need was outside the ER and requiring medical assistance, yet none of the these “qualified” scab nurses came out to help. It got to the point that our L&D Night shift nurses at the picket line ran over to help. But only after the hospital’s security tried to prevent them from going over to the patient of course. There was media present at the scene t

This is not a rant. It is more of me venting, as I am sure almost (if not) all of you can relate, hence the "serious" flair. For context, I have only been an RN for a little over 8 months, and this is my first ever healthcare job (my previous job was retail). As stated in the title, this was my first time ever performing chest compressions, the patient was in her 80s and had dementia (albeit the nice version of dementia), and was a full code. She was never my patient, but I had helped redirect her whenever she would try to get out of bed. A very sweet lady. Two mornings ago, just after midnight (on 7/7), I had just brought a finished food tray out of my patient's room. After putting the tray up, I saw two nurses sprinting to another patient's room, and heard one of them yelling, "OH, SHIT!" Then I heard the charge nurse scream my name and for me to get the crash cart. I went into the patient's room, seeing the patient's primary nurse performing chest compressions. Once we had rolled th

I've been experimenting with simple, low-prep ways to help younger children remember the order of the planets. One activity that worked better than I expected was cutting out paper circles in different sizes and colors to represent each planet. Students arranged them in order from the Sun while saying the names aloud. Turning it into a hands-on activity seemed to help much more than having them memorize a list. For those of you teaching elementary science, what simple activities have been the most effective for helping students remember the planets?
