Funny Test Answers

I am grading a test right now. For one of my short answer questions, a child replied: "I don't remember so you can take a point off if need be." I mean, thanks for your permission I guess. She got a B, so it's all good, but it made me chuckle. I also once had a student put "Bacon" down in place of "Boron" once. EDIT: Good friend teaches history. These are real answers: Q: What was the name of the organization that helped smuggle slaves out of the south to the north so they could be free? A: The KKK Q: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?

Put on a PIP entering fourth year.

I’ve been at this school for four years. I went on maternity leave last year from December- April. Found out I was pregnant again in May. Would need maternity leave again. Went in to sign my contract and was told I’d be placed on a performance improvement plan from now until November. I have NEVER had a bad observation or been told of any changes I need to make.

frustration with “The Pitt” season 2

total disclaimer: i love The Pitt and this is not a “i don’t like The Pitt” post. my partner and i love it and it’s been really helpful in getting him to understand what being a nurse is like. fantastic show in my opinion. that being said, the season 3 trailer just came out, and it reminded me of an issue i had with season 2. this can totally be deleted if it’s already been discussed but i really hated how they depicted the hospice patient in season 2. Javadi essentially says “but that much morphine is going to kill her isn’t it?” and Robby basically says “yeah but it’s the merciful thing to do.” uh, what? sorry, last time i checked, comfort care and continuous morphine drips/PCAs are not medically assisted euthanasia. that’s literally hospice 101. of course, The Pitt is not responsible for teaching the public how healthcare works. however, people are going to see this and get scared that morphine at end of life is what is going to kill their loved one and not the cancer, heart failure

The purpose of public education has changed.

This is something I have been mulling over for a while. Society has changed. Education is now a customer service product and we are expected to deliver what the parents and society want: well educated, well mannered, well rounded emotionally stable people. What I think has been lost is that public schools are a free *public service*. Citizens were once grateful for the equalizing opportunities free public access to quality education granted. Instead the public feels we are supposed to do everything for children and society. Everyday you hear something like schools should teach kids how to change tires and make budgets. Schools need to teach kids to regulate their emotions. Schools need to teach kids cursive. You also hear from the when school is over it is family time and if schools can’t do their job during their workday it’s their problem, or my kid don’t act like that at home. If kids aren’t fed at home, aren’t properly clothed or have access to books, teachers are expected to step

Starting the RN Program next week, freaking out

I'm not new to the demands of nursing school. I completed the LPN program last year, which was intense with 1 to 2 exams a week and two consecutive 8-hour clinical days. I know what I'm getting myself into. What i suddenly don't feel ready for is another year of stress, constant deadlines, having to coordinate my schedule with my job, and just generally not having time for anything else but school. I feel scared to go back into a hospital setting for clinical (I work in an office right now) My wife and I have planned a lot of our future around my post-grad career prospects, and so I feel this immense pressure to stick with it, and even more pressure to do well so I don't fail or lose my funding.

I am in an accelerated direct-entry MSN program and just finished my first semester and first clinical rotation. I was excited to finally be able to apply for PCA/PCT/Student Nurse roles at the hospitals around town so I can get more patient experience and obviously money. I have applied to probably 15-20 jobs so far and have only gotten phone screens for two positions and have been rejected from every other one. The quickest rejection was literally 7 hrs from submitting my app to getting the rejection email. I am soooooo annoyed and frustrated because I don't know if it's me, the economy, or something else. Does anyone have any insight about what to highlight in applications or how to make my application stand out among I'm sure a much more qualified slate of candidates??

Declined a job offer

I graduated from college about a year and 4 months ago. I got my degree in secondary education with minors in earth science and meteorology. I live in a highly competitive area for teaching jobs so I’ve only interviewed for a few jobs but never got any offers for full time work. Last school year I did land a 3 months ago long term sub position. I really enjoyed my students, the staff, and the school culture at that school. Since I didn’t find any jobs for the upcoming year I called the school and decided to go back as a building sub, which I am very excited about! Earlier this week, I found an opening for a full time job teaching high school environmental science. I thought why not just apply and interview to see if this could be an opportunity for me. They offered me the job but at a school district that would be a one hour commute away from where I live.

I'm 22M. I just graduated college, and I've already got a solid job lined up. However, I don't know what to do about my mom. My mom immigrated here from Nigeria 25 years ago. She started working 10 years ago because she was making sure my siblings and I were focused on school. My father (a teacher) is 70 years old with no retirement; we're still renting an apartment. My mother has been a Certified Nursing Assistant in LA for 8 years. CPR certified, licensed, does everything right. And she's still making under $20 an hour. She's 52. She tells me everywhere hurts. Her back, her knees, her hands. Eight years of lifting and repositioning patients who can't move themselves does that to a body. I've tried to bring it up. "Mom, hospitals pay more for the exact same license you already have. Let's look at listings." She brushes it off every time. Changes the subject, says she's fine, says she doesn't have time.

We Should Bring Back Expulsions Or More Students Will Leave For Home Schooling and Private Schooling

Public education in America has been getting worse for a while. That much isn't really debated. The issue of expulsions and discipline is. From what I gather, opponents of expulsions are generally against them because the outcomes for the student are much worse. I don't dispute that. Getting expelled is probably stressful and embarrassing. It puts a lot of stress on families who are already struggling. However, the tradeoff to not expelling students is beginning to cause serious issues. Parents have noticed that extremely violent students are allowed in the classroom with seemingly no solutions or consequences. The research says that students can't be expelled, local, state, and federal policies prevent it, and so schools don't expel anymore. I think public schools have painted themselves into a corner. We refuse to make a serious tradeoff. Do we allow violent students in the classroom or do we prioritize the learning of everyone else. In a perfect world every district has an alternati

Two weeks in, no schedule

I literally can’t believe I’m typing this. I made a post earlier about how I haven’t gotten my rosters or schedule in the first week, but deleted it because we were told it would be done by Monday. Well, it’s now been two weeks into the school year and we STILL don’t have our schedule. We’re doing rotations with a single grade, but the times are fucked and the rotations are random. Some 8th graders haven’t had math in two weeks, some 7th haven’t had English, etc. I’m just… blown away. How can this even happen?? Charter schools suck but this is such a new low.

CA -> TX license fingerprinting

Considering the very dire job market in California as a new graduate RN, I’m now looking to apply to jobs in Texas. I’ve already submitted the application for license endorsement as well as paid for Nursys verification, but now I need to do fingerprinting. I already pre-enrolled with Indentogo. The Texas BON states that I, as a California resident, need to do an FD-258 hard card fingerprinting via a law enforcement agency. I have a few questions about that. Do I have to provide the form or would the law enforcement agency have it? How would the Texas BON know that I did it through a law enforcement agency?

Unsure how I feel about providers choice in OBGYN

I am a nurse working in an OBGYN office. I have worked under my APP since I start last May. In recent times, the workplace has become seriously more stressful with workload and short staffing, but we get though the days. I’ve always liked my provider and we have always gotten along. The other day she came to me and notified me that she would not be providing/prescribing contraception for birth control because it against her religion. She will do it for menorrhagia but not for a birth control. When she told me, I said okay and went about the day, but I now can’t help but see her in a different light. She is a catholic. I’m guessing she is seeing contraception for birth control as a sin? Life starts at conception? Whatever. But we work in woman’s health. The topic of abortion is the elephant in the room of our field, you can have your opinion and how you feel about it. But you work in OBGYN as a healthcare provider.

Is it worth taking this position (NY)?

Is it worth taking this position (NY)? Hi everyone, I graduated in March from an accelerated nursing program out of state. I moved back to NYC immediately and have been applying nonstop (150+ applications). I finally got an interview. Now here's the thing: Its a children's hospital in westchester. According to the recruiter and the website, they have a lot of higher acuity patients such as vents, trachs, central line, G-tube care, etc. It is a specialty hospital focusing on complex care patients rehabilitation. My dream starter job was PICU, but obviously I learned very early on that wasnt going to happen. If I take this job, what are the odds I can later qualify to be hired at one of the big name hospitals in the city as a PICU nurse? Or should I keep applying.

Is it socially acceptable to be openly LGBT at your school?

Being LGBT is one of the most controversial topics in the world. And at school, it can be particularly challenging. We all remember the taunts and teases. I think it was the worst insult you could throw at someone, especially a boy. However, times have changed. Same sex marriage is legal in a lot of countries. On the other hand, conservative ideas are growing in popularity. Maybe in some schools, the gender that someone is dating is as relevant as that person's hair color. And maybe in other schools, the attitudes from decades ago are pretty much the same. What is the case in your school? submitted by /u/PsychicMeditation [link] [comments]

What an asinine dumb ass test. 70% of the material covered i have NEVER seen in my 8 years as a nurse working at a lvl 2 and 3 ER.

Considering nursing school

I have a bachelor’s degree. I have always been interested in nursing as a career. I’ve taken several courses/certifications since my degree and aced them all, so I know I have a good chance of success. I’m trying to discern if spending probably 3 years total (~2 years full time) is a good idea if my husband wants to retire early in about 4-5 years? The loss of my current income for 2 years would set us back some but not much. I am very bored at work and have decided I’d rather go back to school than rot in my current role.

What to do about disrespectful and tactless administrators?

How do these educators who clearly have zero management or people skills keep getting admin positions? During this teacher return week my admins have: told a teacher "You should get Depends" when they expressed worries after an emergency surgery. Not communicated to our grade level team how teacher switching in a departmentalized grade (rather than student switching) is going to work. This is especially egregious because the new teachers were not informed of this when hired. We have received zero modeling, zero resources, and absolutely no money to purchase any extra teaching tools to support this teacher switch. The newest admin taught a sibling of mine over 30 years ago and his first words to me were "Oh your parents didn't like me". Like what? unprofessional much?

First pregnancy as a teacher, limited leave

I found out I was pregnant this summer and after the joy wore off the “holy crap how am I going to do this,” sunk in. Here’s the main concern: last year I did all four NBCT components and, naturally, burned through a ton of my leave (I’m carrying over three days 😬). My due date is March, which means tons of unpaid leave (my state does not offer paid maternity leave), but it also means tons of appointments before I even deliver. I’m trying to schedule appointments after work, but it’s been really difficult so far, so I’m really worried about using up all my leave and going negative. I’m hoping my admin will be flexible and let me go to some of them during my planning (we have 84 min blocks) which mine leads right into our hour-long lunch block/study hall time.

Well, it’s been a minute since this happened, but I think I’m ready to talk about this. It’s been pretty stressful TBH, but I’m happy to share my experience. Here goes: So I had a semi-clinical position in critical care. Lots of my duties are admin, but I am an experienced nurse with 10+ years of ICU and ED experience. At times, charges would ask me to take on a patient for a while if we got slammed until they could figure out staffing (call in a nurse, next shift starts, whatever). Our unit culture is very team-oriented and our admin likes to show willingness to do more than just hang out in our offices. I’m all about that. In my case, these patients were frequently freshly intubated. One day, my manager grabbed me for a “quick meeting.” Ok cool. We walk in, at the meeting were a handful of suits, and pharmacy manager. Asked me to have a seat. Ok, cool. They asked me if I know what diversion is, of course I do, I gave them the textbook definition. They said my controlled substance dis

I'm currently in my final year at uni training to become a music teacher, and I have public Instagram and TikTok accounts where I post covers of the music I'm learning at the time. Some of the pupils from my placement school have found my accounts and have started liking, following and commenting on my posts. I don't mind them seeing the content (it is public after all) but I'm wondering what the best way to handle interactions with them is while still maintaining professionalism. I feel a bit awkward when they comment because I don't want to completely ignore them, but replying with something as simple as "thanks!" also feels a little unprofessional given that they're pupils, and I wouldn't want to accidentally cross any boundaries or get myself into trouble over social media contact. Would it be more appropriate to just like their comment rather than reply to it? Or should I avoid interacting with their comments altogether? Am I massively overthinking this? What's your thoughts and w

Teaching saved my life

So... let me start off with my background. My career started as a professional athlete but due to numerous injuries my career was cut short. All I was given was a partial contract payout, some memorabilia, and a hand shake. With no where to go and being in my 20s I sat at home for a few months mostly eating my emotions, until a former teammate offered me a role within his company. Thus began a 10+ year career within corporate, where I climbed to a director role very quickly. I had everything; money, traveled everywhere, an assistant, saw the world, rubbed elbows with big shots, had personal relationships with some celebrities, got invited and flown out to random parties and events without ever spending a dime of my own money...life was great!...or so I thought. My health deteriorated, I was always gone, the stress of numbers having to be met ate away at me, and constantly having to come up with a new strategy constantly got annoying. Then one day it happened, I decided I was done. I wa

Affording rent during Clinicals

I'm starting clinicals in October, 3 days a week. I also want to gtfo my parents' house. My school and clinical site are in a decently HCOL area. I'm looking at studio apartments in a cheaper area nearby. How did you (or currently) navigate working enough to afford rent, do clinicals, and schoolwork? Is it less difficult than people make it out to be? Is it a "just make it work" kind of situation? submitted by /u/jisoo-n [link] [comments]

First Week of Teaching. I feel like I’m failing

It’s my first week of teaching 1st grade(first year) and I feel like i’ve got nothing figured out. I feel like all I do is yell, none of my kids will listen to me, and I feel so embarrassed when admin visits my classroom because I feel like they see it and think wow how did we hire this teacher. I’m more tired than i’ve ever been in my life. I love my class but they are wearing me out. I just feel so discouraged and like i’m failing at my job. I want to do better. submitted by /u/No-Scholar-2983 [link] [comments]

Starting nursing school soon

Hiya, I’ll be starting nursing school in 6 weeks, and needed some guidance/advice from the students that have alrdy started. The questions I have is, what are the things u wish u knew before starting but found out the hard way or way too late? And What did u do to make ur journey easier? To prepare Im planning to get car before placements so it’s easier for me to commute, I alrdy own an iPad and a laptop so no need to get it, Im also planning to quit my job when placements starts as I’ve heard I’ll be alrdy doing a free labour as a full time student nurse. submitted by /u/Confident-Aside-3341 [link] [comments]

Appropriate Student Placement

Why do we expect students who have been in a self-contained classroom being taught a heavily modified curriculum to be able to succeed in a general education classroom with 30 students and no additional support? I got a new student today. Nice student. Very polite and excited to be in my classroom. The issue is, this student cannot read. They can write, but only if they are copying what is on the board or another paper. It takes them a couple minutes to write sentences that are 5-10 words. This student comes from our self-contained classroom. Academically no one expects this student to achieve anything close to a high school education. Any grade I give this student will be a lie. This student cannot obtain mastery of my standards. submitted by /u/Pricklypearl [link] [comments]

Nurse hub not what it was a year ago

Is it just me or is the content of nurse hub for the hesi a2 not the same as last year? I took and passed my hesi a2 last year but had to give up my spot in the nursing program due to life and my score is only good for a year so I have to retake it. I signed back up for nurse hub to review everything again and the content isn’t the same? I’m reviewing the quizzes and am seeing questions about topics that weren’t in the lessons. I know that the chapters were lengthy before and really detailed but it seems they were cut down. Just me? Idk. I’m someone that likes to review all the details and need the refresher. submitted by /u/Decent-Question-5403 [link] [comments]
