Swedish nurses are voting on whether to unionize for the second time in two years this week. Why the revote? Because it was determined (and a decision upheld after the hospital appealed this decision) that HCA broke the law, violated workers' rights, and made a free election impossible. Employees have been encouraged to "become educated" about the vote, when in reality the "education" has been in-house "labor relations meetings" held by paid union busters. The CEO sent mail to all nurses asking them to vote no, citing increased staffing and "better workplace safety" - with no specific evidence of how that's been implemented. Anyone who works as Swedish will tell you this is simply not reality. Two thirds of Swedish nurses left after the last union vote. This says a ton about the working conditions. Nurses need representation, support, and bargaining power in a system that exploits them consistently and egregiously. If you're a Swedish nurse, VOTE YES this week. Let's build a better and

Anyone else anxious? This is really unusual for Canadian nurses, right? I moved to BC last year from the states. I am pretty used to US strike culture by now. How is this gonna go? We are still mandatory workers. I am still going to be expected to show up if we strike. But apparently you cant do anything clerical, or answer a phone, or do OT? Have any Canadian RNs been through this? Over 98% of us voted to move for action. Thrn, the more recent vote to not accept the new offer was over 68% of BC nurses. Hence the notice to strike. What do you think about this? submitted by /u/Nfgzebrahed [link] [comments]
I have been a teacher in CA (in one of the higher paying districts in the bay area) for 9 years and just transferred to a new district for this upcoming year. I plan to get pregnant in the next year, ideally having a baby in May or early summer. I understand that some benefits do not apply to me until I have worked for the district for a year (which SUCKS). I am pretty worried about my finances as my partner makes less than me. I know teachers don't qualify (yet) for fully paid leave, so what can I do for now to prepare as best as I can? I have heard I should buy state disability insurance? Is that true and if so, through who? Is there other leaves or insurance I should get or apply to? I am so new at this, so anything or any piece of advice in general as your experience with pregnancy as a teacher in CA helps. Thanks so much! submitted by /u/Sloppy_Joes4 [link] [comments]

Our admin rolled out a new phone policy this year, basically zero tolerance, phones get confiscated and held in the office until a parent picks them up if a student is caught using one during class. On paper it sounds great, less distraction, more engagement, all that. In practice it's been a mixed bag. Some kids have genuinely adjusted and seem more present in class. Others have just gotten more creative about hiding them, or it's turned into a constant power struggle that eats into actual teaching time when I have to stop and deal with it. Curious how other schools are handling this. Is your policy strict like ours, more lenient, or somewhere in between? And honestly, has it made a real difference in engagement or behavior, or is it mostly just shifting the problem somewhere else? submitted by /u/TurboMango88 [link] [comments]
I’m in a really strange position and I don’t know what to do. I work at a private school and have been looking to leave. I interviewed at another private school in the area, and I was contacted by their HR department and told that they essentially want to extend an offer to me, but because I’ve already signed a contract with my existing school, they can’t do that until I tell my current school I want to get out of my contract. This new school also won’t tell me any information about my salary or compensation because they can’t “officially” extend me an offer. So I’m supposed to go to the admin and tell them I want to leave without a guaranteed offer of employment from another school or even an idea what my salary might be? I’m also worried I could put my existing job at stake. Last year a teacher was let go mid-year for making a comment that didn’t align with the strict religious views of the school. (This is an example of one of the many reasons I’m looking to leave.) The school clear

They haven’t been able to find travelers willing to do nights, likely because they aren’t paying enough, so their answer has been to hire them for days only contracts and make core staff rotate more…. And then they wonder why we can’t keep staff? I’m only required to work 6 night shifts per 8 week schedule period. They moved me around and put me on 11 night shifts with the upcoming schedule. I love the type of unit I’m on, but management has me seriously questioning how much longer I’m going to put up with this kind of BS. It really hurts because I love what I do and I love my patients, but this kind of shit is just getting OLD. submitted by /u/Outrageous-Boat-9111 [link] [comments]
I’m exposing my experience with Jobaaj Placement Program. They promise students that they will get a job within 3 months, otherwise they offer a money-back guarantee. But the reality and their terms & conditions tell a very different story. Their policy says that if a student attends 2 interviews and fails to clear them, they are no longer eligible for a refund. Now here’s the issue: The first few companies they arrange interviews with often have extremely limited openings — for example, 2 openings with 100+ students being interviewed. Obviously, most students will get rejected. After just 2 failed interviews, the refund clause becomes invalid. And after those 2 interviews, in my experience, they barely care about your profile anymore. Communication becomes poor, support slows down, and there is little genuine effort to help students get placed. This creates a system where students lose both: - the placement promise - and the refund eligibility It genuinely feels like the process is
I’ve been an ICU nurse for about 8 months now. Worked in the OR for 6 years. I’ve never really been the type to get upset in the moment. I’m quick to brush off patients deaths, stories of what brought them to this point, doctors being shitty, and the traumatic shit you see in the hospital. But recently I’ve been thinking about how much this all has actually changed me. My already dark sense of humor has gotten darker, my views of death and end of life care, how I want to go, how my family goes. I’m literally putting together a PowerPoint for my mom of what we can do for people and letting her decide if she wants it or not (I’m her proxy lol). I think medically assisted death should be a universal thing. Some of the things we do to keep people alive is inhumane. It’s getting to the point where I see people even doing it to their pets and I just think it’s horrible and has gone too far. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should yknow? Idk, my last shift has me going through it and makin

Every couple years, it's like there's a new curriculum or program being pushed. Teachers who have found things that work for them are expected to change to fit whatever the new fad curriculum is. At my old school, we switched programs 3-4 times in one year, but when students were struggling it was looked at as a teacher problem rather than a structural one. My current school forced a program on us and actively would come to observe us just to make sure we were following it. They would even pull us out of class multiple times throughout a semester to make sure we were aligning everything to the curriculum. Meanwhile, as we got close to the state test, we had missed so many class due to curriculum pull out. This past year, we, as a department, agreed to do novel studies. However, mid way through the year, the school overrode our decision and told us to use a new curriculum. Even when it comes to literature in general, we're often told to just have students read novel excerpts or a book t
I keep hearing comments about how I’m home all day and it must be nice. Smh. Mind you I work a summer part time job to help with savings. He also clearly thinks it’s an easy job. He’s in management and I’m a middle schooler teacher. Ugh. I guess he’s having a bad day at work today. I asked how he was doing and he said he’ll be fine. Then I said I was done at the gym and I’ll be home when he gets home. He says “I bet.” As if I’m always at home and or doing nothing. Gets me so annoyed. He’s in retail management. Equally hard job but he claims he works physically harder than me and therefore his job is harder. I just know he couldn’t do my job at all. Update: he is not the grumpiest man alive I promise. This man has dumped hundreds if not over a thousand on things for my classroom to support me and make sure I have everything I want or need to teach the 2026-2027 school year.

Hello everyone, I wanted to post a recent case involving renewing my BLS license with AHA. I’ve used it once in the past to find an instructor to get certified for nursing school (requirement). This time around, I was scammed $85 with potentially little to no recourse. This is to be more vigilant as I was not expecting to be scammed through the American Hearts Association. I understand they are the middle man, but they could have done more to prevent this. I am now out on $85. Here’s what happened, I searched for a CPR class near me (through AHA). Found a class that accommodated my schedule. Paid the instructor $85 via Venmo per instructions (just like the first and different instructor before). Then sent the instructor a message via their contact information. They never responded to my message, tried calling but they never answered. Sent them an email, again no response. Realized their info was out of state (first odd sign). Found their website (now shutdown) and saw they had register

Thank for your comments. However, almost all of you are saying why don’t you, leave, sue, eeo, and other like things. I am not under American Civil Law. I could quit, but then I’d have to leave. I can’t sue. To file an EEO I would first have to ask permission of at least one other person which if it didn’t get me fired, would tank my career. This is all fully normal and legal here.

We brought in someone from the outside to optimize our video workflows. I'm stunned at what an expert has been able to accomplish. We plowed through subtitling 310 video clips totaling more than 10 hours of content in less than two hours using scripts that this woman built for us, including the translations! They all tested out with a flaw. It's amazing to see how fast files can be processed when they are freed from a GUI. We were told that Apple silicon has some superpower that make this possible.

I'm looking for honest advice from people who have been through the California BRN process or know someone who has. I'm currently taking prerequisites at a California community college and my goal is to apply to BSN programs in a couple of years. Here's my situation: I have multiple alcohol-related cases from 2022–2023. Two of them are misdemeanor DUI cases that are still pending. The other alcohol-related cases have already been resolved. I'm represented by an attorney, and the plan is to get all of the criminal cases resolved before I ever apply to nursing school or the BRN. I wouldn't be applying to the California BRN until around 2030–2031. I've been reading the BRN website and the newer California licensing laws, but I'm still worried that all of this could prevent me from becoming an RN. For those who have experience with the California BRN: Should I keep investing years into nursing school? Has anyone here (or someone you know) been licensed in California after having two or mor

Hello! I am moving from teaching at a university to teaching at a private high school after finishing my doctorate. I have recently learned that since I will be teaching Latin (so not a “core” subject), I will have to “time share” a classroom with one or two other teachers; I would use it for 3 or 4 grade levels per day [though I might be in different classrooms, too, I’m not sure!] In some ways, this is sort of familiar coming from a university setting, but I’m worried that I’ll struggle to engage students and stay organized if the room is not fully “mine”, if that makes sense. Any advice on sharing a classroom? Esp. re: 1) materials and papers [note: no-tech school, so students do not have devices], 2) classroom management (a lot of tips I see rely on specific “corners” or “zones” for developing routines), and 3) how to set the vibe for class (Latin) in the same way that someone who has a static classroom can with decor, posters, and displays.

I'm just a CNA and don't have enough experience to know whether or not I'm overreacting here but I feel like my facility is just letting this patient die while I watch. I work in a SNF in the USA. Patient is in her early 80s and just a month ago was completely AOx4, ambulatory, talkative. Then she got a really terrible UTI that made her confused, almost completely nonverbal, barely able to move. Her urine sample was crazy. They put her on antibiotics and was almost immediately back to normal: completely alert, aware of her surroundings, back to recognizing me, able to get around with her walker, talking intelligently with staff and her family, socializing with other residents. As soon as her antibiotic ran out she started going rapidly downhill again, right back to the condition she was in before. It feels super obvious to me and the nurses and basically everybody with common sense that the antibiotics didn't make her UTI go away all the way and she just needs a little more care. Every
The topic is.. “Delegation” 🫣🥲 Hey allll. I hope you all are having a good morning, afternoon, evening, night, wherever and whatever you’re doing. So.. I started in house keeping, was trained to be a tech/aid in the hospital. I was a tech for two years while I went to school for my LPN. I absolutely loved being a housekeeper, then an aid. After I attained my LPN, and started working in that same hospital as an LPN, about half the aids would make smart comments and sneer at me when I asked them for ANYTHING. I hated asking for help, but eventually got to the point where I realized I had to prioritize my job. I needed to do the things that needed to get done that aids could not do. I came in early, and would leave late 60-90 minutes. Every time. Everyone loves to JUMP to the conclusion that “you’re a nurse, you can do anything the aid can do”. Obviously, yes! And I’m more than happy to do what I can. I had a really hard time even learning my job, because people would get nasty if I asked

Hi everyone, I’m graduating from a pre-licensure BSN program at the University of New Mexico, but I’m planning to apply for RN licensure by examination and take the NCLEX through the California BRN. I know California treats this as an out-of-state U.S. graduate application, and I’ve been looking at the CA BRN education requirements. From what I understand, CA requires certain classes with lab like anatomy, physiology, and microbiology which I took already in my 1st undergraduate degree in CA. I also took behavioral and social sciences courses as well as communication courses during that time. My main concern is that I know at least 500 direct patient-care clinical hours total, with at least 30 supervised direct patient-care hours in each area: geriatrics, med-surg, psych/mental health, obstetrics, and pediatrics. I’m trying to understand how strict CA BRN is with out-of-state BSN graduates and whether they usually require a separate official clinical/theory hour breakdown, or if the fi
