A former admin of mine is asking what teachers want as a back to school gift. She floated some ideas like a planner, mug, notebook, etc. For context she’s in a junior high, gift is for about 35 teachers all varying ages/backgrounds. I’m thinking one of those popular hard cases for organization filled with snacks and maybe a 15 minute break/admin coverage card? Any other ideas? submitted by /u/Big-Paramedic-5553 [link] [comments]
I’m an ER nurse with a little over 1 year experience and am precepting a new grad. I’m trying to use my preceptors strategy; see one, do one, teach one. That helped me I feel get to where I’m at. My unit really bands together to teach our new grads but of course they’re stuck with me for a while. It’s only been 2 days so we’re still getting a feel for each other. I really want to boost this nurses confidence. I’ve let them do a few easy IV starts to get us going but I can still see the nerves in his hands or in the way he speaks. I know confidence comes with time and experience I just want to make sure I help in that process. Any tips would be wonderful for helping this nurse become prepared, independent and confident! submitted by /u/BeneficialBanana5350 [link] [comments]
I'm curious what you consider to be the best LM Systems used for high school STEAM classes. Preferably an LMS that offers as many of the following: -individual teacher licenses that are either free, freemium, or not incredibly expensive for a single teacher -SSO capabilities for easy access to tools like Phet, CK12, and similar sites/apps. -content repository capabilities OR integrations that allows one to connect your content easily -not incredibly difficult for students to use I have been using google classroom but I only find it to be useful for communicating through the stream, posting content digitally, and for providing resources for students. I'm sure it will continue to add features although. I feel as though it requires a lot of add-ons and is somewhat restrictive in personalization. submitted by /u/Alternative-Exit-450 [link] [comments]
admin just denied my pto for november. Again. "critical staffing" as usual, but they sure have the budget to hire another middle manager we don't need. Im literally sitting in the clean utility room right now just to stop hearing the tele alarms for five minutes. Was zoning out on my phone and fell down a rabbit hole looking at those mobile medical vehicles they build for community outreach. kinda sounds like a dream right now tbh. Just packing up a rolling clinic, driving out to some quiet rural town, doing basic primary care and not dealing with endless audits and cold pizza in the breakroom The bedside burnout is hitting so hard this week.

So I just have a general question, when did small groups start happening? Growing up in the 80s/90s I can't remember ever having small groups in the classroom. Everything was whole group instruction style. Now small groups are stressed heavily, whole group is frowned upon. Was it the lack of funding? Or was my school the odd ball? Like if students were lower tier, they were pulled out for specialized help.... But there's never any pull out and that specialized help occurs inside the classroom....either before or after grade level material that goes above their heads because they are so significantly low. Idk it still boggles my mind as a new teacher, I don't mean any offense by this, just trying to figure out when education changed. submitted by /u/grac3fulflaming0 [link] [comments]
To my nurses who work in oncology with pediatric; do you love your job? I always hear people saying it’s so depressing working with children who have cancer but it’s also gotta feel like a million bucks for the ones that do get better and knowing you were there helping them.

Hello! I got a call from a school to interview for a temporary teaching position. This was around 9am on Monday and I attempted to call back around 12-1pm to say that I am interested in attending. My calls weren’t being answered through any of their extensions (press 1 for blank, press 2 for attendance, so on and so forth). I ended up finding the person’s extension number through their website and tried that and it took me straight to voicemail. I left two voicemails and did not received a call back. The next morning (tuesday), I attempted emailing them to reserve a time slot. I didn’t receive any response through phone call or email. Should I keep attempting to interview with this school if they said interviews would be done on Thursday? What are your thoughts, thank you! submitted by /u/Existing_Criticism57 [link] [comments]

I have 11 years of experience in the classroom, and typically I have at least 2 kids to tutor in the summer to make extra money. I really need it with my current situation since I start my new job at a new district in August, but I won't get paid again until the end of that month. I need the extra income. My student success rate is very high, and I'm more than qualified for any EC-6 tutoring job. No one seems to want a tutor, or at least doesn't want to pay for one. I reached out to families of kids I previously taught before leaving my last district, I joined local FB groups to advertise myself, I had friends refer me, and I even signed up on Wyzant to try connecting with people through a platform. No one has reached out with the intention of setting anything up. I don't charge an exorbitant hourly rate. I live in a huge and largely unwalkable city, so I likely have to travel, which i don't mind, but I do account for that if the distance is further. If anyone has any advice for what e

There was a rapid on my floor that I went to help with. The patient was going back and forth between SVT in the 180s and stable Vtach and completely asymptomatic. When in Vtach the MD running the rapid ordered 1mg epi given. No other meds were given up to that point. I was surprised to see them jump straight to epi rather than adenosine or another antiarrhythmic, and the house sup asked why not adenosine at the time, to which the MD said "it's VT, adenosine wouldn't be effective". The VT was monomorphic with a wide qrs, which I thought adenosine was appropriate for but I didn't say anything at the time. After the epi was given the patient was still in stable VT in the 180s and still alert but now "feeling like shit" per the patient. To which the MD declared them unstable and to prepare to shock. SBP was still in the 140s at this time and again patient was wide awake and scared. I was thinking "no shit he feels bad, he just got a dose of adrenaline". The MD said "everybody clear to shoc
PSA for prospective teachers: you can't really teach anywhere you want. Good districts are very difficult to get into unless you have a sought after credential like special education, math, or physics. By the time you get into your desired district, you will not be able to leave. Most school districts only recognize around 5-8 years of external service that they will count towards their salary schedule placement, if you're lucky. If you need to move after that, you will be taking a huge pay cut. Just a heads up as I don't think this is well advertised for prospective teachers. submitted by /u/cows243 [link] [comments]

I retired from teaching after 22 years. It wasn’t the kids. The administration micromanaging our every move and treating us like toddlers. Being bullied and harassed by a coworker and administration doing nothing. I knew I was done when I got so stressed out after being scolded by my principal for something that was not even factual. I got a migraine and started throwing up in the garbage can. I was a very good ans hardworking special education teacher who the kids and parents loved and this is how I ended my career. I would come home from work and go right to bed for the night. It was bad. So I found a new job at a local agency , still in my field, gave up my summer off and took a $7,000 a year pay cut. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. I work in a quiet office where I am left alone and trusted to get my work done. I still have plenty of evenings and weekends to enjoy summer. If you are like me.

In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, HRSA announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
HRSA will provide additional award funds to the Rural Health Innovation and Transformation Technical Assistance (RHIT-TA) recipient, the University of Iowa, to provide additional technical assistance on rural value-based care-related activities and support the improvement of health care in rural areas.
This notice announces a solicitation for large and small public and private colleges and universities (including predominantly undergraduate institutions, minority serving institutions, and emerging research institutions), non-profit research and education organizations (e.g., science museums and research institutes), and research hospitals and medical centers that are recipients of federal research or research-related funding to participate in Phase VIII of the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP). FDP is a unique forum of federal agencies and recipients committed to testing innovative approaches and streamlining processes and systems for federally supported research. It is anticipated that the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will continue to function as the secretariat for the FDP; as it has since 1988. The full solicitation is found at the Federal Demonstration Partnership website https://thefdp.org/.
HRSA proposes to modify the eligibility guidelines for the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP) to align with the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act, enacted on February 3, 2026. The HOLD Act prohibits consideration of the income of the organ transplant recipient in determining eligibility for reimbursement of qualifying non-medical expenses related to living organ donation under LODRP. Consistent with this statutory requirement, HRSA proposes to revise the LODRP eligibility guidelines to eliminate recipient income as a factor in eligibility determinations and to establish a donor-focused eligibility framework based on donor household income and financial need. HRSA will continually monitor the effectiveness and availability of funds for LODRP and further modify the eligibility guidelines in the future if needed.
This notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service (IHS) proposes to expand the geographic boundaries of the Purchased/ Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) for Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo ("YDSP" or "Tribe") to include the Dona Ana County of New Mexico. The current PRCDA for YDSP includes the Texas counties of El Paso and Hudspeth. While recent PRCDA listings have not included Hudspeth County, this was a clerical error and unintentional omission that the IHS has corrected. YDSP Tribal members who reside outside of the PRCDA are eligible for direct care services; however, they are not eligible for Purchased/ Referred Care (PRC) services. The sole purpose of this expansion would be to authorize additional YDSP Tribal members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
This notice informs the public of the availability of the complete lists of all geographic areas, population groups, and facilities designated as primary medical care, dental health, and mental health professional shortage areas (HPSA) in a designated status as of April 30, 2026. The lists are available on the shortage area topic page on HRSA's data.hrsa.gov website. Federal law requires publication of an annual Federal Register notice (FRN) not later than July 1 of each year listing designated HPSAs. This FRN serves as notice that HPSAs that were placed in a proposed for withdrawal status due to state primary care office (PCO) actions between October 16, 2024, and September 21, 2025, will be withdrawn. HPSAs that did not pass the National Shortage Designation Update conducted in September 2025 will be maintained in a proposed for withdrawal status after the publication of this FRN, and the state PCOs will be allowed additional time to review and update designations. HRSA intends to ad
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The Secretary of Education proposes to rescind the International Education Programs regulations and the Fulbright-Hays Program Regulations to provide the Department of Education (ED) with greater flexibility in carrying out its statutory authority to implement these programs and to enable the Department to align such programs with current and evolving priorities and needs, such as workforce readiness, national competitiveness, and returning education to the States. These changes will enable ED to more effectively achieve the statutory intent of the programs authorized under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and Section 102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, respectively. The Department seeks comments on this recission of regulations.
The Secretary of Education (Secretary) amends the regulations governing institutional eligibility, general provisions, and the William D. Ford Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program under title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended (the title IV, HEA programs) to implement statutory changes to the title IV, HEA programs included in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act (WFTCA) signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. These changes include revisions to program eligibility requirements for the Direct Loan program and the introduction of an earnings accountability framework that limits Direct Loan eligibility to programs whose graduates meet certain earnings benchmarks. This action finalizes regulations to implement the provisions of the WFTCA related to low-earning outcome programs and the Direct Loan program, and to harmonize those regulations with requirements for programs that are required to lead to gainful employment (GE programs).

I’ve worked in healthcare my entire life, and while I know I still have plenty to learn, I’ve always been someone who adapts quickly, seeks feedback, and genuinely enjoys learning. I’m a millennial, so maybe I’m biased, but I don’t think experience alone should outweigh curiosity, collaboration, and the willingness to improve. Lately I’ve been struggling because my leader frequently comments that I’m “not experienced enough” or says things like, “Leadership sucks,” whenever I bring ideas forward or show interest in growing. The irony is that there is almost no professional development, mentoring, or coaching happening. I want feedback. I want to learn. But instead, it feels like experience is used as a way to shut down conversations. The part that’s frustrating is that I’ve met nurses with 30+ years of experience who are incredible mentors, and I’ve met others with the same amount of experience who haven’t changed their practice in decades. On the flip side, I’ve worked with newer nurs
Hi guys! Just curious about what your hospital’s med surg floor is like. I had an assignment the other day that I felt had way too many LDAs and want to know if other med surg floors are like this lol So in total (for a four patient team) I had 1 trach 2 PICC lines 2 Foley catheters 2 NJ feeding tubes 1 peg tube 1 JP drain 3 chest tubes 1 epidural 1 colostomy And on top of that there were multiple wounds, including a tunneled wound in an abdomen that required packing. I just felt like it was a lot of lines to manage for one team…. But I’m not complaining, it makes me excited to when I manage all of it well. I work in a large-ish hospital, but I’m curious if I went to a larger hospital that I would see more on med surg that I already do.

That's pretty much it. I don't fit in at school. I love the kids and the culture of the school, in general, but I have definitely been added to a cliquey-gossipy-girly group that I don't fit in with. I am not looking to make friends at work, but it seems like I'm not heard on a professional level because of this. It really sucks and I'm not sure what to do. If I don't contribute, I know someone will go to admin and comment about it. But, when I do, sometimes I'm listened to and others I'm not simply ignored or the conversation is redirected, but looks and whispers are shared right in front of me? I'm an only child and I've always struggled with having appropriate social skills, which I'm aware of. I can either be comfortable or feel rigid and like I'm walking on ice in conversations. I've gotten a bit more toward the "fuck it" side and I've been trying to make myself comfortable. I spend a majority of my time at work, and I do feel like I have good ideas...

The Supreme Court’s rulings on Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. focused on transgender students participating on sports teams, but likely has broader implications.
I recently went to a conference and one breakout session was about generations (I know we've all sat through this). One quality of Gen Z that was brought up is their general ability to leave a job and not have another one lined up. Another trait is their desire to meet exact expectations but not exceed them. We all know that schools are built on the free labor of its staff. On one hand, I do commend Gen Z for putting down boundaries and not allowing themselves to be taken advantage of; on the other hand, I am curious how schools will be impacted by people not taking up extra duties or not staying at a school for long periods of time. What do other people think will be the outcome? And, do us old people need to get on board or are there things we need to do to keep school systems functioning? Edit: I will just edit to emphasize that my question is how do you predict schools will change with the push from Gen Z to establish boundaries? Also edit to add: What I meant by not staying at a s

I’m a 25 year old female and have been a nurse for 4 years. I have always worked peds and started in a neurology and kidney/liver transplant floor then made the switch to peds ER. In the past 4 years I’ve seen death, learned about all kinds of diagnosis in children that I never knew existed, and seen a lot of kids suffer from poor quality of life. I love taking care of my kiddos but I have this guilty feeling all the time that I want to have children but I could not handle a kiddo with special needs. I’m scared to have my own children and go through pregnancy because of everything I’ve seen. I respect deeply all the parents I work with on the daily and see the way they go above and beyond for their children. Yet, I struggle with the feeling that I would rather let my child go than have them spend their life as total care patient and it makes me feel like I’m a horrible person. How do I let go of this feeling? I know I can’t live my life in fear but it truly scares me. submitted by /u/k
I have been a nurse for 11 years now. I’ve worked in the ER, maternity and now postpartum. I was at the pool today with my kids when I hear the whistle being blown and not stopped. I looked around quick and saw a child trying to hold/pull another child out of the pool. I threw my snacks and (not my best parenting moment) ran to the child and told my 7 year old to pick up the stuff I dropped and go get her dad. 3 of us nurses helped pull him out, myself and an ER nurse confirmed no breathing and no pulse and I just immediately just started chest compressions. He was so limp and pale, eyes completely fixed up when we pulled him out. Thankfully after almost 2 minutes he started breathing again was talking to us. I cannot stop questioning myself- I know I didn’t feel a pulse but I keep thinking I didn’t check long enough or maybe could it have been there and thready? I asked my husband how my cpr looked because I was so scared to do it on a child(pre teen aged), but he keeps reassuring me
Hi, For context I have not taught for 20 years now. The last time I taught I was at a very challenging school with full classrooms, teaching 5 different levels and one planning period. I have been doing offered an 8th grade ELA position with maximum 16 kids, two sections of the same level , and one elective class. The rest of the day is lunch duty and planning time. Essentially I will teach three classes daily, but only two lesson plans needed. I am afraid of taking a position where I feel like I am over taxed immediately especially at my age (46). On paper it sounds reasonable, but just wanted to bounce this off of other teachers. submitted by /u/WatercressFar8121 [link] [comments]

I’m attending a union leadership training and they asked for volunteers to plan an icebreaker. I’m neurodivergent and hate icebreakers, so I volunteered so that I could have control of that experience. Since most icebreakers seem superficial and trivial to me, I want to prepare three question cards for each person in attendance (20 people). The cards will be different colors for three categories: education related, you outside work, and recommendations. The idea is that you’ll start with three cards and then approach anyone who is available. You choose which card from your own hand that you want to answer and then the other person does the same from their own set. Then after you have shared your answers, you choose a card from their hand and exchange. That way you always have one new card and can change what you are answering if you wish. You can choose any color card, so if you prefer to only share answers related to education, you can collect three cards from that category in your fi
Permit me a little self praise 😂 I'm a plastics wound care nurse, I've got a long term plan to be a nursing lecturer at applied sciences uni, I asked about it here a few weeks ago. Anyways we had a 5th med student in our unit learning the ropes and their instructor introduced me as a really good teacher. I was shocked because that particular surgeon is a perfectionist and I took it as high praise. The student was with me and I threw her kind of in the deep end, debridement tools in hand with me watching over them, telling them what to do and not to do. We spent an hour together debriding the legs of an elderly man who had been two months without debridement. I must have made a big impression. They had their last day today and I got to my workstation with a hand written card thanking me for my excellent instruction and patience and a small chocolate. It's not much, but I'm proud of myself and I hope they remember something about wound care I their future career. It feels very cool that
I feel like every year vandalism has become more common at my school and the consequences don’t meet the crime or don’t fix anything. I’m not sure if this is happening in other schools but when a student destroy the restroom, Chromebooks, breaking pencils, etc… the punishment doesn’t feel like anything was accomplished and eventually the student vandalism’s behavior becomes a norm. For example, students puts a banana in the restroom clogs it, and the result is a small suspension(1-3 days), apology letter, and maybe helping (if you call it that) custodians after school clean the campus for a day or two. The next week the very same student breaks a desk or any other random x thing and the pattern repeats itself. I’m at loss to understand why are we allowing students to act certain way and expect them to become better people. Is this pattern also happening at your school? submitted by /u/BlueArmy1905- [link] [comments]
