I’m so discouraged. I’m currently doing travel nursing because I moved to a southern state where they don’t pay shit. I was making 48/hr in a town with low cost of living and staff hospital offered me $35. In the Er. I’m not doing this for less than new grad pay. Idk what else to do. Everyone say remote job or nonbedside but those are so far between. I don’t even feel like I want to do anything health care anymore. It hurts so bad to work so hard and then be miserable at work. This can’t be how it is I get nobody likes to work but to get anxiety before the days you work. Be miserable and work is not normal. What other jobs can I do I need help. submitted by /u/ComfortableSet8644 [link] [comments]
VENT - TLDR - I hate having a support facilitator. I have a very low level middle grades class. I’m pushing them. First week of school they were doing the work a little bit of whining, but when they saw I meant business they got on it and were producing. Today the support facilitator showed up for the first time and it was chaos. They all turned in to whining, crying babies and learned helplessness tactics. It took an entire hour to write three sentences and only after she started handing out candy. WTF. I just can’t deal. I’d rather have them by myself. I could feel myself becoming elevated and anxious and every ounce of energy being drained out of me from what was happening. It was like a bunch of jackrabbits bouncing around. Yelling out, jumping out of seats to try to earn candy, one kid banging head on desk, cause he didn’t get chosen. My energy was just running too high, and I had an honors class to follow. It was not like that at all the first week of school. So basically any dis
Terrible is probably a bit hyperbolic, but I’m in k-5 self contained and I just constantly feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. Like, I have an idea, but I feel like I have 500+ things to do hanging over my head, and I don’t even know what the 500+ things are and can’t know until they absolutely need to be done. 😭 Is this just anxiety? Or is being somewhat clueless normal in the beginning? I feel like the fact I’m in self contained deserves a lot of emphasis because we have a LOT of downtime…. Which is to be expected of course (I did also major in special education) especially in the first two weeks of school (which we are still in) but I’m still kind of lost on where to start with curriculum when I’m just now implementing visual schedules and teaching kids how to use them. No one at my school is even putting any pressure on me to do things at a certain rate, but I just wanna feel like I’m doing the most I can for the kids and right now I feel like the most bare minimum employee subm
So I was in a discussion at work over the phenomenon of the “[happy hypoxic]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent\_hypoxia)” patients that we experienced during COVID-19 and that occurrs in [certain conditions such as HAPE]( https://youtu.be/AdG5KyeIGaQ?is=ZnCo3jjHxiHq1KUU ), and it occurred to me that I have no idea how long someone has when they reach a critically hypoxic SAO2 or measured SPO2 in the field before they start seeing true end organ damage that is irreversible, or start seeing hypoxic insult to their brain. Is anyone aware of any research out there that actually says that this is the critical intervention period or timespan before irreversible insult occurs? submitted by /u/SnowyEclipse01 [link] [comments]

So my school was built in the 1920s and it’s very old. My classroom is directly facing the sun and I have several windows directly facing the sun. The AC barely works in the school. Needless to say it gets extremely hot in my room. There were times in May and June it reached almost 90 degrees because our air was so bad. I have three fans going at all times and it barely does anything. So as a complete and total pipe dream I put on my AWList this year a portable AC unit. My thought was that people would give Amazon gift cards to contribute to it. It was $300. Well…I had a friend today buy the entire thing. I couldn’t believe it. My question is, do y’all think I will get in trouble for using it in my room? My room gets unbearably hot. Today was our first day back for teacher workdays and we were all sweating in the media center during our opening meeting. I don’t want to get in trouble with the district or anything. This feels like a forgiveness over permission situation. What do y’all t
Okay so basically I had this student last year who I also have this year who came to class on time everyday and she seemed to be very eager to learn. She was a very hard worker and did very well on all of tests, quizzes and mastery assignments. late last year my AP pulled me aside an basically indirectly accused me of giving her special treatment in my class because she was failing everything but my class and her African American History class, (I taught her Civics last year). It really had me reevaluating myself thinking maybe I was unconsciously giving her special treatment but I know that I treated her the same as other students. She was doing well all on her own. That African American History teacher and I are now in a PLC together and I found out this morning that AA History teacher also had a similar talk with admin last year where our AP accused him of special treatment because she had an A in his class. It's just frustrating because it sound to me like she is just more engaged
I work in long term care. Each unit usually has 30 to 45 residents. We have 8 units. Its always just one nurse and 3 CNAs to a floor. My nerves are usually shot especially when floating to the heaviest units. My biggest pet peeve lately is hearing my name screamed out loud from across a hallway by the assigned CNAs when I'm busy at my cart, or administering meds or treatments in a residents room. They scream my name like its an emergency, as if it's a fire, a resident on the floor bleeding out, an active shooter, only for me to come out or look up in a panic and hear them then say something benign like, " so and so wants a Tylenol. 😵💫 it happens on the regular and it makes me react in a grouchy way snapping back "WHAAAT?", when i hear my name screamed. Then they have the nerve to act like i just dont want to do my job. I feel like a mother whose kids call them from across the house repeatedly because theyre too busy to come find me and talk to me in person. I love a lot of my coworker

My instructional coach (let's call her M) is a pain in my ass for no good reason. I am on my 3rd year teaching, and she consistently bothers me about mundane shit. I understood my first year that she would be more present and should dwindle off, however she keeps bothering me about things like minor rules (minor as in most teachers break them) and guidelines regarding our books. What i mean about the books is that we DONT HAVE THEM, and yet she got upset that im using old books from last year. The fuck am I supposed to use then? We are 3 weeks into school with no books! Ive asked my colleges if they also get walk-ins every week at a minimum and they say "no wtf" and " i haven't seen her this year outside 1 meeting". She was already told to back off by my vice principle last year and now that she's gone M is up my ass again.

A consulting MICU fellow walks into a dumpster fire of a room to find a liver failure patient in DIC who was quickly bleeding out after an emergent vascular surgery. With the patient there were two experienced nurses along with myself. We were doing our absolute worst to keep the patient alive. Upon seeing the chaos and without gaining any context the fellow uttered the first wise words to enter her mind… “What is going on? Don’t you people know how to titrate drips?” Those magic words brought instant silence to the room. The phrase caused us to stop dead in our tracks to ponder such a profound statement. “Do I know how to titrate drips?” I asked myself. Surely this PGY-4 MICU fellow must have vast experience titrating vasoactive medications. Their years of internal medicine training has prepared them to manage an exsanguinating surgical patient with ease. Somehow this fellow has managed to surpass the combined 20 years of accumulated drip titration knowledge and experience of three CV

you are working in an environment no one really wants to have to be in - alarms going off, infections and viruses you may catch, fluorescent lighting, stressed out and paranoid and mentally ill co-workers, family, and patients, constantly switching from task to task, straining yourself to meet the physical demands of the job and possibly breaking your body, yet you do miraculous things. what you are being asked to do is a lot and it is tough work and it requires a grasp of science, body dynamics, a 24/7 on-the-job focus on patient safety, infection risk, interpersonal skills, an immense amount of emotional regulation, a level of self-care outside of work that most people will never have to dedicate themselves to just so that they can keep a job, and eventually you have young doctors asking you questions. so yeah, I don't think you need a doctorate to be paid well in healthcare. the things you are helping to execute and the decisions you make are inherently valuable. you should be value
I did my student teaching and was a long term sub for two different teachers all at the same school. The one I finished last year the teacher I took over for had left me ZERO curriculum and then resigned two weeks after leaving. So I gave those students a whole year worth of what they needed to know in one semester. I went to every IEP meeting, I was a scorekeeper for sporting events, I got rave reviews from parents. I sent out positive messages when kids did well, my classes improved in reading comprehension across the board. And they knew I really cared too, a lot of them remembered my from student teaching. These kids wrote a freaking PETITION to the principal to hire me and all signed it. (Without my knowledge!) So when not one, but two jobs opened up I thought I at least had a solid shot. I reached out in July, told them I was interested, they told me they would let me know because it had to go to the pool hiring first (since I was a sub and non-continuing) Just found out today th
Hey guys so we recently had a new nurse join our ER and when we did change of shift the narc book didn’t match the medications that were ordered they were charted under the wrong patient and one dose of a narcotic was missing. Apart from this half the charts were not completed and then this nurse texted me asking if I could meet with him to give her gabapentin and Xanax, I was so confused he then realized that he got the wrong number and he claimed that he was texting her brother who picked up his prescription to add to this one of the ER techs that works with us told me that he asked her if she sells street drugs? I ended up reporting this to the director of nursing and the medical director. I feel horrible about reporting him I’ve never been in a situation like this before but I really feel that it was needed to report this. What do yall think?

I am literally rotting away at my home health job and I am utterly miserable. I took a sign-on bonus and can’t quit til January 2027. I’ve been with this company (UPMC in PA) since Jan of 2025 (was graduating class of Dec 2024). I worked at the hospital on a Cardiac med-surg floor with unsafe ratios and had to check myself into an outpatient psychiatric clinic one day because I was about to lose my mind. I did an internal transfer and ended up in home health. We are expected to see 6 units a day. It can be 6 routine visits, one start of care and 4 routines, and so on. I also case manage nearly every patient I see. I have to call doctors, work on OASIS corrections constantly, order supplies for patients that get rejected due to insurance, and I find myself often charting way past our supposed end time of 4:30 PM. I usually come home, sleep for a few hours, and chart. I’ll be up until about 1 AM. This job has me thinking that nursing is just not for me. I started smoking/vaping again aft
Nurses am I overthinking this after an IV magnesium infusion? I’m an RPN on a med surge floor and I’m spiralling a little about something from my shift and would really appreciate some perspective. My patient needed IV magnesium and had poor access. Her existing LEFT forearm IV had infiltrated, so I removed it. I then attempted a new IV in her RIGHT forearm (her veins were tiny elsewhere and the hand veins were very squiggly/not straight) I got into the vein but it blew, so I abandoned that attempt. I eventually got a patent IV in her RIGHT hand below where I had attempted the forearm. I didn’t really have any another option (87 year olds do not have great veins) In hindsight I wish I had first attempted more proximal in the hand because now I’m worried about complications that could arise from this. The patient was only getting a one time dose of IV mag nothing else no continuous infusions. The hand IV flushed well and the patient had no pain or complaints. I ran the magnesium through

I have my schedule set to have light Friday’s because we have mandatory meetings every morning at 8am-8:15, 8:30 IDG that lasts 2 hrs, and another mandatory meeting at 4:30pm. Every single Friday. I had 3 patients to see already and those visits lasted some time. I got to my last patient and OF COURSE my coworker said she has a migraine and apparently her vision is blurred. She said she’s making phone visits to her other 2 patients but she has one patient who HAS to have a home visit. The part time nurse only works M-W so guess who has to see them? Me. I got to the home at 3:30. As previously stated I was thrown out so I haven’t seen MUCH AT ALL. This patient is declining and had a drain and the family wanted me to drain it. They were already frustrated because I felt it was best the patient stay in bed because they were exhausted but they INSISTED on her on getting up to pee. I was fr

My state passe a phone ban. My school is enforcing it. Phones go into a pouch as they walk in the door. Most students put their phone in the pouches. Others keep it away. If I see it, it goes in the pouch. Except for 1 student. He flat out says no. I had already written him up this first week. Friday he told me, "You already written me earlier in the week, just do that again." I had him escorted out of my classroom by campus police to the admin office. I fear this will be happening a lot. I have reached out to home and no response. I didnt hear anything from the office. But I did email his counselor. I will see what she says.

I’ll die on this hill.

TLDR: I was told to get report on 2 brand new patients to me at 1805 pm, was approached to be given report at 1830, and I refused (shift change is at 1900). Im a PCU RN and I work 7a to 7p. Today, at around 605 pm I noticed on the assignment board two patients added to my assignment. I asked the charge about this and she said 2 nurses were being sent home. I was never told about these new patients and I was concerned about the timing and lack of appropriate handoff/assessment time. I told the charge who said to call the assistant manager. Long story short we talked for like 15 minutes and she explained budget concerns, that she told the charge much earlier to send people home, etc. At 630 pm I was approached by one of the nurses being sent home who asked if I was ready for report and I said im absolutely not getting report at 630 pm. The ANM then called to confirm that I was declining report, and I said, yes right now im not taking report, I am working on my own patients. At 6:42pm, a

I could really use some advice. I apologize for the length. I was hired as an English teacher in California. The job offer letter that was provided for my intern credential states that it is for an English position, and the listing on EdJoin also lists that it is for an English position. There was optional training about a week before required orientation meetings for new teachers in the district and for my particular school. Unfortunately, I had to miss this optional training due to my previous job. I now believe this was a massive mistake, as apparently the two new English teachers found out their courses at that time. I was told on a Friday—with school beginning on a Wednesday—that I must teach an advanced drama and an intermediate drama class in addition to three English classes. I have zero experience with drama (no classes in high school or college, no knowledge of lights or set design, nothing). I was told to use AI and they would hire another person to direct the play.

If any of you guys are sick of bedside and looking for a way out, consider occupational health!! I have been doing it for about only 3 months now, and I can sleep at night! I enjoy my days off!

Sorry just have to rant about this unbelivably unprofessional and inconsiderate nurse that I worked with the other day. New hire on the unit, I've heard negative things about her but I'm not one to socialize or gossip at work so I kept my mouth shut and said I'd give her a chance. This is a small med/surg unit with 15 bed and 3 nurses usually. Well someone in staffing fucked up and we only had 2 nurses scheduled that day. Not unheard of on nights but rare on days. Me and this nurse end up splitting the unit down the middle and I swear to god I saw her true colours come out. She was on the phone the entire goddamn day. Seriously. Either on the floor with an airpod in or in the breakroom on the phone. I've never seen anything like that before in my life. The doctor was sending her multiple secure chats, she's not answering and so the doctor calls the floor and I answer and I end up having to take over tasks for her patients because she's MIA. When it came down to breaks she was like ok I

Random rant, but I feel like people are constantly telling their stories about overcoming illness and “proving doctors wrong” after being told there was no hope. I constantly see people saying things like “Doctors told us we should give up,” “My doctor told me I had 3 months to live,” “They told me my son would never talk or have any quality of life,” “My doctor said there was no absolutely chance I’d ever walk again,” Or things like “My doctor said she couldn’t believe I wasn’t dead yet after seeing my test results!” I mean…maybe I just haven’t met enough doctors, but I have literally never heard a doctor say anything even remotely along these lines lol, and if I did, everyone would be flabbergasted.

The tech told me it was unacceptable that way the labels was on, i said I did it before with no issues. He said it needed to be redone at bedside i said fine, give me the sample and I will go redo it. He then said nope and took the sample. I told my charge nurse who then went down and got my sample back, he had some words with the lab tech. My charge nurse said this guy is always on a power trip.

Five (yes FIVE) weeks ago I was the on-call OR nurse. I was called in once around 11pm and sent home, and then called back in around 2:30am for a c-section. So going on about 1 hour of sleep at this point. The c-section was urgent, not a crash. While we were waiting for the on-call Anesthesiologist to come in, the surgical tech and I went to open the OR and count instruments. When I got to the patient’s room, there seemed to be little urgency (the patient was talking on the phone to their baby’s father about locating her birth plan and him getting to the hospital). When she finally ended the call we headed to the OR. The OB who was doing the c-section came with us to the room while her spinal was placed. I then quickly did a vag prep and inserted a foley and was putting on sterile gloves to start prepping her abdomen. At this point the patient is lying awake on the table, the L&D and neonatal nurses and Neonatoligist are in the room. The doctor looks at me and claps his hands and says
On the first workday this school year I was called by the principal to a conference room where the two top district HR people were sitting. They told me they have a "credible report" that I have been using illegal substances. I was obviously caught completely off guard. They would not show me the information they had, and told me that I needed to go take a urine drug test at a local clinic, of which they had already made an appointment for me. They asked if I had been using illegal substances, to which I said no. I told them I have been to local legal tobacco or vape shops and used their products, which are completely legal here. They told me that that doesn't matter because those products are "unregulated." I left really upset and went to go do the urine test. I assume I will fail it. By the way, I had no option as to whether or not to take it, as they said dismissal could be a result for my refusal. I legitimately have no clue what their "information" could be. I have never brought o
OR nurses I need your opinion. Everyone else is welcome to chime in as well. So we had a nasty shit fly in the OR flying around in the actual room not in the halls not in the department IN THE OR.

We slapped at the fly on the room lights and I kid you not, pounds of dust fell to the floor. We slapped at it on the boom dust bunnies were hopping around. We literally could not believe how much dust was not kept up with in our OR. Anyway long story short the charge nurse calls in and asks what’s the hold. We tell her there’s a fly in the room and we’re trying to kill before either the patient comes back or before it lands on the setup. She tells “Oh we don’t delay cases for flies or insects in the room.” I was flabbergasted. We talk about surgical conscience and how if it was our sweet sweet mamas or family members we would change our gloves or break down an entire

I recently moved out of state and was only offered one job that I had to take at a charter credit recovery high school. I’ve taught 6th grade for 4 years so already a big adjustment. I was told I teach for 20-30 minutes and then the kids work on credit recovery on their computers. Hours are 7-4 with one planning period a week because of the minimal work. Students enter the building tomorrow, but here’s what’s come up this past week. Tuesday I met the teacher I was taking over for. I asked her if we could sit down and discuss how things go, tips, methods, content etc. her response was “maybe if I have time”. She got back to me Friday at 3pm, so I just emailed all my questions but haven’t heard back yet. We were promised a new teacher binder with schedule, handbook etc by Friday, we never go it.

I am going into the second week of school. My plan is to have a weekly outline of what I will be teaching during different time blocks and the general unit/lesson number. It’s taking time trying to learn the curriculum, the tech, and everything else being a new teacher at a new school entails. I don’t think even if I wanted to I could plan every lesson down to the detail more than a few days in advance of teaching it. Is it acceptable to have my lesson and content ready about 1-2 days before I actually teach that lesson or should I be aiming to be further ahead? Everything is going smooth so far, I kicked off some of the academic units last week, went over classroom expectations and routines, and to be honest it was an extremely smooth and successful week. I am just stressed trying to get my head on straight and knowing how far ahead I need to have content developed to be successful. If it helps, I am a 6th grade teacher in a k-6 so I have multiple subjects I need to prep for each day.
This came up in a PD the other day. The presenter said “Every student in your class has a right to learn.” And a high school teacher asked, “Do they have the right NOT to learn?” I teach in a very small district, in a very rural town. A lot of the students in High School stop showing up and actively want to leave school for various reasons. I am curious to hear others thoughts on this. Do you think students should have the right to opt out, to fail, to NOT learn? Particularly, students 16-18 years old. submitted by /u/schnitzel247 [link] [comments]
Everything we have is Ai planned. Every questions, slide, and test. Half of it isn’t even coherent, the other half isn’t even on the objective. Love being a teacher, but this year we’re really just buggy robots… Also being observed every 2 weeks due to grants that our school had to take. So going “rogue” isn’t an option due to the amount of prep it requires to make sure all standards are being met with these various groups. The ai does do that, “follow the process”. Yet there is no actual learning taking place in the lessons. 5th grade, ELA submitted by /u/Fancy-Hornet5229 [link] [comments]
