So recently I decided to move on to outpatient forever after a really bad experience in the ICU that had me fired over what I suspect was pressing charges on a violent etoh patient. Of course that wasn't the official reason, they nitpicked everything I didn't perfectly do or didn't do including being late for 5 min once and used it as a reason to let me go. As well as grilling me what I should have done to not get attacked. In hindsight I should have seen the signs, they literallt gave us a whole ass presentation on how unions lead to poor patient care. I'll bounce back, I'm interviewing for case management and things are looking up. But I feel stabbed in the back and it burns me up inside that they made me out to be incompetent surrounding the incident. I did my job just fine, I did everything I was supposed to do, and the patient decided to cheap shot me during patient transfer. I was perfectly professional with the guy and made sure he was getting his care. Kept the MDs well aware o
Hi yall, I enrolled into teachers for tomorrow to get my foot in the door as a teacher (admitted not my choice, my mom kept nagging me about it even though I didnt want to be a teacher to begin with). I was active in the online courses for all of 2 months then decided to go ahead and drop out because I dont plan to become a teacher, im still trying to pursue a career in the field of my degree. Teachers Of Tomorrow representative sent me an email to respond to with an answer of 2 questions as to why im withdrawing, I responded to the email only for the same address to resend that same email back to me about "answer these questions". And that was over a month ago prior to the next billing period, and I just checked my bank account and apparently they have billed me AGAIN even though I should have been withdrawn over a month ago. Does anyone have any experience with withdrawing from Teachers Of Tomorrow at all? Also to note, the email said "fill this out" but provided nothing to fill out
Last school year was our first with a new principal. He’s only stayed at each district he’s worked in for about two years 🚩 He and the dean he brought with him had nearly double-digit grievances filed against them. By the end of the year, more than 30 of our ~80 teachers had left the district. Many had 6+ years of experience, and several had 10+. Our union even passed a vote of no confidence, but the school board did nothing. So NATURALLY… This years back to school letter to staff unveiled his new theme: “Let the Good Times Roll” 🤯 I can’t make this shit up. submitted by /u/Over-Olive1763 [link] [comments]
My district looked at their budget shortfalls ( thanks school vouchers ) and decided to completely nerf our health insurance policies. Just three years ago, teaching meant affordable insurance. So, how many of us are leaving teaching this year because of issues that can ultimately be traced to the great voucher exodus? submitted by /u/paintingsarah [link] [comments]
I realized in my short time teaching that teachers are a different breed! I’ve never seen so many people in a profession that complain; yet, continue to do the same thing. STOPPPPPP freaking working for free and outside of contract hours. STOP! If we all stop together, they will have no choice but to conform. My principal sent this long email about the “dedicated” people that came in during the summer and volunteered and helped lesson plan. Excuse me - hell no. In no profession are you guilted/expected to work for free. If I was as on a salary that made sense, I absolutely would, but I refuseeeee in this current environment. They wanted me to come in and work on my caseload 🤭… NO - and I don’t feel bad about it either. There will be people that will say “it’s for the kids.” No the hell it’s not and we know this. The administration doesn’t honor nor value teachers, our states don’t because at any inconvenience they’ll start pulling funds from education, a lot of the parents think we are
ER doc just wanting to stop in and try and stop this widespread error. Almost every shift I have to tell a nurse/patient that ODT meds are NOT sublingual medications. It is not absorbed by the sublingual tissues. It is not absorbed by buccal tissues. It goes on TOP of the tongue so that it can disintegrate with saliva and be swallowed. The whole reason ODT (orally disintegrating tablets) exist is that someone can take it without having to take a chug of water to get the pill down. Putting under someone’s tongue just slows down the disintegration. Also, if the patient complains about the taste, they can just swallow the tablet whole with or without water. Thanks. Edit: the strike through part was unnecessary and Im sorry that I put it in the original post. As pointed out by multiple replies, i should have not said that and it doesnt add anything meaningful. Sorry yall. submitted by /u/Abhorash-TheWanderer [link] [comments]
I just made a little over a year now as a LVN. I work at an urgent care setting and a SNF. I brought in a patient and did her vitals. She looks at my name badge and tells me “ why didn’t you go for your RN to become a nurse instead? Why settle for little pay”. Honestly all I did was laugh and said “ yeah you’re right”. But I was so annoyed the entire time because she kept going on about how I should become a RN so I can do more like her brother etc etc. I felt uncomfortable and sad because I worked hard for the title I have now. And of course I wanted to pursue RN and plan to do it in the future. But at the time my financial situation was not that great and I had a lot going on. I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to belittle you or question “why didn’t you do this instead”. I’m proud of where I am today because I’ve learned to appreciate how far I’ve come into my life and stopped beating myself up over not being further. submitted by /u/Mission_Angle4397 [link] [comments]
Hi- I’m so sad because one of my patients passed yesterday evening and according to the on call hospice nurse, he passed uncomfortably. I’ve been a nurse for 11 years and I knew from the beginning this patient’s case was going to be extremely difficult given how in denial the entire family was. Anyway, fast forward, the patient fell on the floor and the family did not find him for some time. Once he was found a member of the family had access to a defibrillator (this is a little sketchy I must say) and attempted cpr without revival as he most likely passed some time before. The family kept repeating how painful and uncomfortable his death was which, as his case manager, makes me want to cry. My job is to promote peaceful death. The family and patient were tough. they wanted privacy often during his time on hospice and I tried to respect that 😢 submitted by /u/nursingnataly27 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone. I need to vent, and honestly, I could use some perspective from anyone who has survived the meat grinder of the first few years. Tomorrow is day one of my second year teaching. I’m currently staring at the ceiling, completely sleepless, and genuinely sick to my stomach. I keep asking myself how I let myself get back into this situation. Last year was my first year, and it absolutely broke me. I teach at what is supposed to be the "nicest" school in my town, but my classes were a total war zone. My admin and team kept telling me, "It's not you, it's just an extraordinarily bad group of kids." But tomorrow, I have to walk back in, and I'm terrified they were just feeding me lines to keep me from walking out mid-year. I’ve always considered myself a resilient, level-headed guy. I don't break easily, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I cried before taking this job. But by November, the stress had me completely overwhelmed, spending half my planning periods locked in
My school (a charter) brings teachers back a full week before the public schools do. During my first two years here, that week was full of 2 hours meetings that could have been emails, giving us 30-60 minutes a day to work in our classrooms. Back in May, the admin sent out an anonymous form asking for opinions on PD for the first week back next week. I decided to go on a rant for the last question, which was "What types of PD do you think would be beneficial to you?" My response: "Absolutely none. Every 2 hour meeting we have could be an email because we already know it. We need more time in our classrooms, especially if you're going to keep dumping classes on us that we know nothing about, care nothing about, and weren't even spoken to about teaching. Every PD I've had here has been one that I myself ran at my previous school, so I'm wasting hours of my time listening to people who don't have my experience telling me how to do the things I've trained others on for years."

I’m originally a registered nurse from China, and I came to Australia to pursue a Master’s degree in Nursing. My dream has always been to graduate, gain acute care experience, and eventually become a travel nurse. After completing my second nursing placement in Australia, I found a job as a hospital phlebotomist. After nine weeks of training, my mentor gave me high praise, and my manager assigned me to perform ward-round phlebotomy in a hospital. I took this job hoping to gain more clinical experience. Instead, it has made me completely averse to clinical work. I found that Australian hospitals have a strict hierarchy. Patients seem to respect doctors far more than anyone else. More than once, patients publicly mocked my heavy English accent. Doctors would suddenly barge in during rounds, completely ignoring me, while patients refused to cooperate with blood draws and criticized me publicly even when I hadn’t done anything wrong. Once admitted to hospital, some people seem to stop hidi
I had my first baby back in July 2025. I started at a new work place (acute/critical care hospital, employed as a med/surg float) in November 2024. For context I work in Ontario, Canada as an RN (BScN). I was (I guess you can say) scouted for an ED/ICU position - the ED/ICU float manager reached out and asked if I would be interested in this position after floating to both units and (I’m assuming) doing quite well. I have zero experience (other than consolidating [2022] in ED at a different hospital - however I felt Med/Surg was a right of passage and would make me a more proficient nurse altogether, which I still feel was the right decision]. Upon my return from maternity leave [July 2026, 4 days orientation] I am REALLY struggling with recall, critical thinking, policies etc. However when I have floated to the floor (Med/Surg/IP) I have felt like my pre-partum self. I think that reason I was scouted for critical care department was because I adapted easily and was strong with my crit
I teach piano to several students, and payment is VERY flexible. I teach some people for free, some for 20, 30, 40, / hour. When I talked to some people about it, they told me that I should establish a price, 30$ for example, because I might unconciously treat some students differently than others. How do I tell the parents of the student learning for free that they have to start paying now? or should I keep it as is? submitted by /u/Sea-Flamingo-6659 [link] [comments]
Today I learned that nurses can lose their job or even risk their license for smoking weed on their own time, even in states where it’s legal. That’s fucking bullshit. Imagine making as low as $29 an hour, busting your ass for 12-hour shifts, then being told you can’t legally smoke a joint on your day off.

Just started a new outpatient RN position. Job is part time (three 8s), very flexible, easy compared to where I was before, team is great, close to where I live in a medium/high COL area, but the hourly pay isn’t great, little to no room to grow. I have an offer from a different outpatient center in a leadership position (DON) that doubles my hourly rate. Full time, five 8s, although I might be able to get it to four days. They need a good deal of help since they haven’t had leadership in a little while; nurses are mostly registry right now, nurses on staff call out sick a lot, center is a little unorganized, etc. But they are motivated towards improvement as a whole. It’s about an hour away from where we currently live in a VERY HCOL but absolutely beautiful area, which will put us closer to my spouses work but a touch further from family/friends. No kids so that doesn’t factor into decision making. This is a life changing opportunity money and title wise, but working that many days a
I'm in Michigan, and I'm wondering if my write-up will follow me into a new district. For context, what I've been worried about is that I was written up for an outburst in front of staff, and they claimed I punched a wall even though I didn't. I did have an "outburst," which means I cried because of a significant amount of stress and grief I was under while at work. This was also in a back area away from students. I never punched the wall because it was concrete, and if I did, I'd probably fracture something. I did rebuttal and asked for it to be attached to my file. I basically explained that I didn't punch the wall because the walls were concrete, I didn't have any injuries, and no one examined me to verify I was hurt from punching the wall. Again, these are thick walls, and I would know if I had punched it. What I'm most scared about is a school that has already offered me a job but needs to request files from my old employer. I might see that and think I get easily upset. Mind you,
I suggested palliative for my 57 year old frequent flyer with end stage COPD who has expressed she will not stop smoking. DC’ed 3 days ago and is back. Doctor laughed at me and said no with no explanation. Am I dumb? Am I missing something? Edit: typed this as I was still charting at work so left lots of detail out. I didn’t clarify in person as it was during rounds and I was pulled from rounds to tend to my pt w a BP of 76/28. Figured I’d ask after but my rapid put me behind immensely and completely forgot. I was reminded while charting my communication. I’ve never seen this doctor and I work float so I’m not sure when I’ll see him again.

I’m about to start my second year of a direct-entry four-year nursing program in Chicago. I was planning to study abroad second semester, which is a rare opportunity for nursing students. However, I earned my California CNA license this summer and paid about $2,000 for it. If I study abroad, I won’t be able to work as a CNA until next summer or get a hospital CNA job until junior year. Since I want to work as an RN in California, I’m worried delaying my CNA experience will make me less competitive. I also feel like I wasted money getting my CNA early because I could have earned it for free through my nursing clinicals junior year. On top of that, studying abroad means I can only take GE classes, so I’d have to fit eight nursing classes into one semester when I return. I’m confident I can handle the workload, but I’m torn between taking advantage of this unique study abroad opportunity and starting my CNA experience sooner. submitted by /u/Proud_Pomegranate857 [link] [comments]
First time poster here... I just needed to let this out. I work pediatrics. I was helping a coworker with her patient, she needed blood work. The labs sent on night shift clotted (it happens) and so we went in to explain to dad we had to poke the patient for redraw. The first blood collection came from the IV. So this would be the first poke. The dad was furious and said the last nurse threw some blood away (the waste from IV) and then sent a tube earlier why do you need more blood now my kid is weak. (These were 2 microtainer so 2cc of blood max). He finally agreed then as we are getting the patient ready, he is visibly upset and says "you guys must not have any family". I was very confused by that comment and he said "you guys don't care". I told him " We don't want to poke her just to poke her, the doctor needs these labs pre op. If you don't want us to do it, I'll let doc know and you can talk to them" anyways he was upset still but let us do it. I was just so upset/confused by tha

A lot of students and teachers are coming in with prescription AI glasses now. They are their only pair of glasses meaning they cannot meaningfully see without them. We have been told we cannot take them up in spite of the tech use policy due to them being prescription, and to just act as though we're always being filmed. When it comes to testing though, how will this work? Leaving aside FERPA questions, I know the script last year included AI glasses as a thing that couldn't be in the room. Teachers can be told to take them off and get new ones I suppose, but the kids will come in with them regardless. Do we not let them test? Do we tell them to test without their glasses?

I have been lucky enough to have been home with my twins for 8 months now. The timing worked out where I didn’t have to return for the rest of the 25-26 school year once they were born. Monday will be my first day back to work and today the anxiety has hit me hard. I’m so nervous to only see them for a few minutes in the morning, then get home to pretty much do their bedtime routine and put them to sleep. I feel like I’m going to miss everything. I am fortunate that my mom will be watching the babies and has promised we can FaceTime and she’ll send pictures and videos. I know I am luckier than most with the amount of maternity leave I had and having family support. But I just dread Monday and leaving them. I do love the subject I teach and grade level. I feel like it’s what I’m meant to teach. And I think I’ll be happy to be back to work once I get into a routine, but I don’t see feeling better about being away from my babies.

My unit will have patients that get agitated to the point that hit/throw items/ spit on staff every day or multiple times a day. It’s not uncommon. Of course when patients are like this they will not take po meds and need an IM medication for agitation. More often than not there is no standing order for agitation even though the patient will have literally done this over a dozen times before. Instead there will be a bunch of one time orders for every individual time they start beating beside staff. The time it takes for me to page the doctor, wait for them to actually reply and then wait for the pharmacy to verify, routinely takes 15+ minutes. In the meantime we’re getting punched/ kicked/ having items thrown at us. Why do doctors refuse to just add a standing order of an IM medication. They can literally just add parameters, or a BARS/ RASS scale parameter if they’re worried that the med will be used flippantly.

I am socially awkward. Generally, I do much better with face-to-face conversations with parents, but I do make a lot of parent phone calls. (I teach grades 3 and 4, in a single class.) The problem I have is ending the phone call. I am awkward and the things that come out of my mouth leave me shaking my head in embarrassment. Things like telling a parent ‘thanks for taking my call’, when they asked for the call and it was prearranged. I think I wanted to say thanks for taking the time for the call. I don’t know. I just never know how to segue into it. If I am calling to notify a behaviour incident, I just want the parent to know. I don’t need them to explain or apologise or tell me the punishment etc. Then I want to end the call. But I end up stumbling over myself. I’m definitely old enough to know better, but it is something I have struggled with. My last job I rarely made phone calls. Do you have any tips? submitted by /u/PizzaCutter [link] [comments]
I'm starting my 4th year teaching and unfortunately I have yet to become faster at planning. This is largely due to never being in the same position for more than one year. I started as a special education teacher with no training in the area, the district just desperately needed somebody. Then I was moved to 3rd grade self-contained. My 3rd year I switched districts and ended up as a 5th grade ELA and Science teacher and this year I'm still 5th grade in the district but we will be self-contained. I'm hoping next year will be better as I'll have at least a year under my belt of all the 5th grade subjects but there's a chance our grade level will lose a section next year. I've basically had to start over again every year of my career. If it continues like this I think the planning will burn me out faster than the behaviors and crazy parents. Can anyone tell me that it'll get better if my position doesn't change again? submitted by /u/ms_marshmallow16 [link] [comments]

Hi - I landed a long term subbing position for a 6th grade classroom. I’m really excited to get started, but being relatively younger (23) I’ve been overthinking the point of staying in contact with parents. I guess I don’t have much frame of reference. Over the year, how much are you reaching out to parents and for what reasons? They never really went over this in detail in undergrad, or in my internship. I’m not worried about parent teacher conferences, but things like calls or emails home, disciplinary stuff, courtesy messages, course updates- are you guys even doing this kind of thing anyway? Again, I believe I’m overthinking this. I just don’t want to feel awkward about this going into the year. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Also, if you are a parent yourself, maybe it would help if you told me what you would prefer? As in, how would you want me to stay in contact? Thanks - submitted by /u/mimimalist [link] [comments]
In the morning, the charge nurse ask her if she’s okay with taking a student with her, she said “sure” in a monotone way. I knew from there on that she is not happy having a student with her. She just talk shit about the aide, the family, the new grad nurse (about babying too much the new hired nurse). I don’t like people like that because I just knew she does it to everyone too. Not gonna lie, she’s very competent. But the thing is, If she just don’t want a student, she should just probably just said something about it. She didn’t want me to do anything aside from giving meds thru G or NG tube. Not even insulin or heparin or even a saline push. honestly, It did crush my spirit, and I feel like she’s talking shit about me too whenever I’m not around like when I’m on break or what.

Knowing the state of US healthcare and the likely decline in reimbursements and rise in uninsured patients, I can only assume that they are hoping to increase revenue by attracting wealthy clientele from overseas who will come to get elective procedures and pay top dollar in cash. Some of the verbiage in the description: luxury, VIP patient experiences, dedicated patient liaison. Anyone else seeing this at their hospital?

I had one patient that needed to be transported to inpatient hospice and another patient who had been sitting in urine and needed to be changed. I asked my cna for help multiple times because I couldn’t physically be in two places at once. My request for help was ignored. Since I wasn’t getting the help I needed, a transporter ended up helping me take my patient to hospice instead. While we were walking down the hallway, both the transporter and I saw my coworker standing in the hallway talking on her phone. I told her again that my patient still needed help. When I came back to the unit, she was still standing there on the phone. I asked if she had helped my patient, and she said no. At that point I went to my charge nurse because I didn’t know what else to do. My patient was still waiting, and I felt like patient care was being neglected. After my charge nurse spoke with my coworker, my coworker immediately came up to me screaming. She started threatening to “kick my ass” and had to

UNC Hospitals is changing how premium shifts are assigned. Instead of offering a set bonus, nurses can request an open shift at the pay rate they want. If the shift stays open, other eligible staff can request it for a lower premium rate. In most cases, the lowest bid gets the shift, although managers can still choose someone else based on the unit’s needs or the nurse’s skills and experience. UNC says the goal is to make staffing more consistent across the health system, but the change has sparked debate among nurses because it encourages bidding against each other for extra shifts. submitted by /u/Strikelight72 [link] [comments]
Hello! I am not a nurse, but my boyfriend has been in the hospital after a heart transplant for several weeks now. The staff have been so great.

I’m starting a job as a bookkeeper in a local public school. I have no experience with working in the school system, but I do have kiddos in our schools. I took the bookkeeping job to get exposure to working in a school and get into the district. I am planning to take the Business Education praxis this school year while I work as a bookkeeper to possibly apply to teach. If you have kids, do you feel like you actually get to enjoy the summer with them, or are you still thinking about work, etc? submitted by /u/MasterpieceSalt220 [link] [comments]
I teach college, but I still like to incorporate teacher bits, and I know several K-12 teachers who do as well. Sometimes I’ll use random wheel spinners. Or when a student says they don’t know I ask “what would you say if you did know?” I’ve seen a teacher make a point to randomly take the cap off a pen throughout class (it makes a satisfying pop sound). submitted by /u/adozenredflags [link] [comments]
