I have a 30-minute homeroom. According to my administrators, I am supposed to have some type of learning happening. The students should not use HR as "free" time. I don't have a problem with that, but the issue is that the students trickle in at different times. Some of them will be there for the entire 30 minutes while others will arrive with 0 minutes to spare. Honestly, no one else on my grade level gives work during homeroom, but I would like to try. I feel like the kids who are there for 10-30 minutes could be doing something other than playing on Chromebooks. What activities would you suggest? Would you use the work for a grade? How would you handle the students who wouldn't have time to even start the assignment? Would you just go with the flow of the other teachers and ignore the mandate? I teach 8th-grade ELA, so my homeroom is only 25% of the students that I teach. Whatever I do would not benefit the other students since they have different homeroom teachers. submitted by /u/
I transitioned to a different hospital system and went from inpatient med surge to outpatient dialysis. While I do enjoy the job and definitely find it slower paced than my toxic med surge unitā¦ā¦the organization of the unit and incompetence of my coworkers is astounding! So many med errors! First thing is techs on this unit can give iv Heparin which I donāt agree with as it is beyond their scope. People just give meds without going into the electronic medical record. For example techs will give heparin at 8am and then not scan or document for hours! Sadly my unit does not have āThe Brainā on epic which does not help with organization. You know how youāre supposed to log in, go into their profile, ask their name and age of birth, make sure it matches the page, scan the med, make sure the med, dose, and route is correct, hit accept and then prep to give. These people just give meds without doing any of that. Most people who do are not medically licensed as a nurse. If I were to do any of
Iām a first year high school teacher in northeast US and I have no idea wtf Iām doing. Iām trying to figure out what week one will look like. Iāll have over 100 students (I only had 50 for student teaching). Iām overwhelmed, intimidated, and social media doesnāt help one bit. I see these reels that give you ideas for organization, planning, and icebreakers. Make a sticky note for every behavior, track and write a minimum of 30 emails home about positive celebrations but another 30 for behavior management. keep records of every moment in the classroom. Make cute decorations, personalize everything, develop catchphrasesā¦.do teachers actually do all of these things? Is it all fluff for IG or am I really going to be designing costumes to wear and writing motivational speeches? I love the teaching element. I love student interaction and making connections. And my students loved me. Iām warm and genuinely caring. But Iām not a flowery, creative person. I donāt know how to make things pretty
So, I have this nurse in her 20s. Iām in my 50s, and I recently transferred to what is considered the top tier unit in my hospital. This was the first time I was giving this nurse report. The first day, the nurse was pretty tough during report. That first night, we had an issue with the PCA. The patient and family were upset, so it was a stressful situation. The second night, the patient was complaining of pain, nausea, and not being able to sleep. The patient had already been in the hospital for 40 days and was very frustrated with the plan of care because the patient felt the doctors hadnāt explained things well. During report, I told the oncoming nurse that the patient was upset and frustrated. I had already spoken with the doctor, and they were coming by to talk with the patient. The patient wanted clarification about several things. Suddenly the nurse said, āThatās weird, because with me yesterday the patient didnāt have a problem at all. It seems like the patientās problems happe

No, no I won't. That was an email we got. I normally don't check my email over the summer, but I'm waiting to hear about something. Our principal sent that email, and we go back next week. Look, I don't want to sit in the media center, look at a stupid slideshow, and have social time. Leave me alone so I can work in my classroom and get ready. I hate this contrived "we are family" BS. EDIT: I LOVE teaching. I love my students and subject. Even my school is pretty decent. Forced socialization of staff is an insult to me as far as I'm concerned, and after 23 years of that BS and not having enough contract time in my classroom, I'm done is all.

Forgive me if this isnāt the right place to ask or the right flair. Iāll be entering my 3rd year teaching (10th grade this year.

My school and district are doing the pendulum swing away from tech. Instead of "use tech when it is best suited and use paper when it makes sense" it is now that any tech is the devil and is the sole reason why we're getting low scores and having behavior problems. I like tech integration but okay. I guess I can do that. The catch? We're still only getting one box of paper per year and one box of 144 pencils. Anything. Else we supply on our own. It might be fine for math, but the texts they're demanding to see the kids physically annotating (even though their test is digital and they can't do that on any of their assessments) are anywhere between 4-12 pages long. So 12 pages for 179 kids plus even two sheets of work and that's half your case right there. We're usually doing a text a week on the pacing guide. We can't even bump the pacing guide and go back to novels either. They took the book room due to a large number of students with disabilities and sent all the books back to the war
Grab a coffee... this one's a little long I'm a 32 year old RN in Southern California, and I'd really appreciate some brutally honest advice because I've somehow managed to turn one career question into a full blown life crisis over the past week. š I've been an RN for about 8 years, mostly in the ED (travel nursing, seasonal contracts, and local ERs). More recently, I started working in case management/utilization review because I wanted to experience the other side of nursing besides bedside. It's been a nice change, but I don't think I could do it forever, and the pay is definitely lower than bedside. I've always wanted to pursue a graduate degree because I genuinely value higher education and continuing to grow professionally. I put it off for years because I was travel nursing and waiting to settle into a hospital with tuition reimbursement. Growing up in a low income family, my biggest goals have always been financial stability and independence, a better work life balance, provid
Hi, I'm a 25-year-old woman working in Germany. I started working as a teacher at a high school last year, which I really enjoy. However, I think I made a mistake by accepting friend requests on Instagram from students who graduated last year. I have a few photos on Instagram from my vacation and such where Iām wearing a bikini, and you can see my butt and stuff pretty clearlyā¦. I assume these students sent those photos to the current students, since Iāve already found them on some of the studentsā iPads.

I'm in Texas! My first year of teaching was at a very small private school, it was self contained, 3rd grade, and I had 8 kids. I got into a power struggle of sorts with one kid, and she was expelled because of my rock solid documentation. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was just hard all the time, despite being the easiest possible situation. To be fair, I was off of ADHD medication, but still. The next year was at a charter school, starting the week of Halloween in a 1st grade classroom. I got into another power struggle with a kid who drove another student out of my class with his wild, violent behavior. He eventually left the school mid year because his mother thought I was being unfair (and I found out he had joined our school right before I started because his regular public school had the same problems with him). My principal openly hated me, I had panic attacks, it just sucked. Now I'm on two new medications from that year for anxiety. This year, I got offered a job teac
When you precept experienced RNs do you start from the basics? I told her I was going to start at the beginning to make sure we have a solid foundation. Like our work flow, flushing and zeroing all your lines, checking your alarm limits immediately when you enter the room. Trying to make sure we have good habits in place. I also feel like I may be explaining too much pathophysiology to her, but I'm not sure. I'm an RN with >10 yr experience but don't normally precept. They give me a new grad every few years.

Iām trying so hard to be a good charge and be helpful whenever I can. Iām also on the younger side compared to others on my unit. The worst attitude is from the unit secreties though, giving me shit about absolutely anything.

Iāve been looking into applying to other hospitals but my coworkers tell me itās no use since itās the same everywhere. Is that true?

I've been working on a med-surg floor for 3 weeks. I tried to move up to 4 patients today. I went to do some peri care for my patient this afternoon. She had a small PE and declined her blood thinner this morning. She was super funky, and I was trying to teach her how to wipe properly. We got her linens changed, and I was about to change her gown. She got diaphoretic, and I thought her SOB was giving her a panic attack. I tried to calm her down and put her oxygen back on. I thought she was being really dramatic because she had been freaking out about coughing up a blood clot in sputum earlier and making really theatrical gagging noises. (Edit- my mentor advised me previously not to allow attention-seeking behavior to slow me down. I've been trying to figure out what that would be. I was confused about whether this counted because it seemed odd.) I called the nurse training me for her opinion. She had me take vitals. She seemed confused, too. I have a point I remember when I started to
I teach fifth grade, and Iām a pretty established teacher at the school. There was a boy who is considered a behavior on my roster, but then he was moved off of my list over over the summer, because he might not do well with another student on my roster. In the meantime, admin decided to switch a bigger behavior from one class and into mine without talking to me first. Now, the other teachers on my fifth grade team are making a fuss about having the original behavior who was originally in my class. Now I feel bad for the student because these teachers donāt want him/her in their class. So now I want to take him back, but I donāt wan to be too overwhelmed with the new behavior that was given to me. Admin is not exactly approachable and our registrar is nice to a point.

I went in for a biopsy on my neck. I had cancer back in 2011 with a total thyroidextomy, followed by radio-iodine treatment. But it appears its come back. So I went to get a biopsy done, and I was feeling nervous. And to be quite frank, the cell collection was more painful than i remember despite the numbing agent. I think the nurse either saw how tense I was or just knew, but she just stroked my arm gently when the needle was jammed into my neck. It wasn't much, but enough to keep my mind from totaly focusing on the pain. I felt it was a very nice thing she did for me. I haven't had that type of care and concern in a long time from any medical professional. So where do you draw the line?

Hello teachers, I recently started student teaching middle schoolers. My mentor is really great but I want some opinions and advice. So first of all, this is my first experience back in a school so take it for what it is. We have multiple periods where the kids are extremely obnoxious.

However, thereās multiple kids in each period that genuinely donāt care about anything. The talking gets insanely loud every 2 minutes and I have to tell them to turn it down like 10 times per period. The second I yell, they go quiet, then theyāll start talking back up again. A couple walking on one side, a couple pushing our limits on the other side by blasting music from their computers, side comments every time we yell and just pure belligerence every time they respond. The ones that are extremely out of control Iāve taken them outside of the classroom but even then, they

For context: I teach grades 9ā12 at a public high school in California. My school is implementing the new California phone ban law this upcoming school year. Students are allowed to use their phones during lunch and passing periods, but not during instructional time. My question is about the transition. During passing period, students often come into my classroom early, sit down, and immediately get on their phones. Then the bell rings, and I can already foresee some students staying on their phones, ignoring the bell, and me having to tell them to put them away before I can even start class. Do you enforce the no-phone rule as soon as students enter your classroom, even though it's technically still passing period? Or do you allow phones until the bell rings and then expect them to be put away immediately? I'm trying to figure out the smoothest routine before school starts. I'd love to hear what has worked in your high school (9ā12), especially if you've had a phone ban in place for a

Whatās everyone planning to do about Meta glasses (or similar) in class? Without getting into an off-topic debate about Chromebooks and AI, my class is going to be as old-school as I can make it. Paper. Pens. Summatives based only on in-class work. For me, āAIā is going to stand for *Actual* Intelligence. What Iām concerned about is cheating. Iām pretty decent at spotting surreptitious phone use, like most of us, but the Meta glasses and their imitators are a problem, obviously because they look exactly like actual glasses. I canāt see a way to prohibit them without getting into trouble.

This is my first time posting here, and I just need some advice or maybe to hear from someone who has had a similar experience. I just finished my first round of student teaching at an early childhood education center. I felt pretty successful during my time there. I loved my co-teachers and the children, and overall I really enjoyed the experience. However, during my final evaluation I fell short in a couple of areas. We are graded on a scale of 0ā4. On my first evaluation I scored mostly 1ās and 2ās, which I was told is completely normal. By my final evaluation I had improved to mostly 3ās and 4ās, with a couple of 2ās here and there. I know itās normal to have areas where I can still improve, and I do agree with some of the 2ās I received. I think what Iām really struggling with is that I talked to the other student teacher I was placed with, and they scored all 3ās and 4ās with no 2ās at all.

So I am not a new nurse, have only been working 3 years and I switched jobs but have always worked surgical units on nights. When I was a new nurse, I was always hyper vigilant about every little symptom a patient would mention because CYA. As I became a little more experienced, I felt that I can use my judgement a little more to avoid unnecessary pages or secure chats overnight. Lately however, there are these two nurses at my job who are constantly nit picking me. I have several examples. 1) My patient had laparoscopic surgery. They originally said the pain was traveling from right side to left shoulder which typically happens when gas travels. At first they denied chest pain. Then after we walked and they still couldnāt pass gas (only burp) she mentioned it feeling like pressure in left chest. Now if I called a rapid for every time we had this after laparoscopic surgery, we would have a million. I messaged PA and we ordered EKG. I passed along to day shift nurse and she said I was n
Hi everyone, Iām hoping someone has dealt with a similar situation and can give me some advice. I am currently a nursing student in Maryland. As part of my nursing program, I completed a Foundations course that allowed me to obtain my CNA-II certification. I received my CNA-II license after completing the course. The issue is that my CNA-II certification was only active for about 7 months due to the timing of when it was issued and my birth month (instead of the typical 2-year certification period). During that time, I was still in nursing school and did not have the opportunity to work as a CNA for the required 16 paid hours before my certification expired. I am now trying to renew/reactivate my CNA-II because I need an active certification for an upcoming job. On the Maryland Board of Nursing renewal application, it asks whether I have actively practiced as a nursing assistant for 16 hours within the last two years. Since I have not, I selected "No." It then asks whether I have retak

On Tuesday, July 21, a nursing home in Connecticut, US, was hit by a flash flood, and the electrical room filled with water. The residents were given 15 min: grab what you can, and we need to get you out. In less than 8 hours, nearly 60 residents were sent to different nursing homes. The staff, (including the administrator, who was praised by many other staff members!) Worked like an actual cohesive team. I feel like the DPH folks overseeing really saw how that place comes together for their residents. And the facility does not legally have to give staff a penny.

I made a promise to myself after pouring my heart into a cute classroom in year three that I wouldn't dump any emotional and monetary or time effort into more than a basic classroom until I was sure I was staying. In year four, I moved to my current district. This is my fourth school in the district. I've had tenure for a while. I've just moved schools to better positions, trying to find my sweet spot. There were two schools in this district I considered my dream schools and last year I took a position in one of them. I gave it a year to see how I liked it. So, I've spent about $75 decorating my room. I have about $75 worth of things on my Amazon list that I'm hoping to get other people to buy.

I wasnāt sure how I was going to print the stuff I need for bulletin boards without buying a bunch of stuff from Amazon or getting a colored printer and Office Depot was going to charge me $130 to print what I wanted SO I went to the library. My library will print colored copies for 50 cents and I say this generally because I did some research. Most libraries in bigger areas (Iām in Little Rock) will do color printing for SUPER cheap. Also if you bring cardstock theyāll do it on that. Iām laminating mine so I donāt have a need to do it on cardstock but if you did it might be helpful.

I gravitated toward upper elementary and middle school. The only downside was the lack of stability. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience to be in the classroom. It may sound cheesy, and I know it gets said a lot, but I cannot picture myself doing much else. It has always felt like something I am meant to do. I am looking for some positivity. I have many friends and colleagues from my other job who are teachers or work in education.

Whatās on your PD bingo card for the week of meetings before school starts? submitted by /u/Cheap_Parsnip_461 [link] [comments]

It's fairly lovely, if I'm honest. Last year I used folders that I bought and had students take Cornell notes most days. They wrote the summary from the previous lesson as their warm up. It was...fine. My department chair bought me folders so I can do the same this year, but now that I'm actually planning I wish I had notebooks instead, but this is what I asked for so no stress. What I'd love is some ideas for how to get students to take better notes rather than blindly writing down exactly what I say or ways to encourage them to engage with station activities more (they
Iāve been teaching for many years, and this is my 7th year back in the classroom after a many-year break. Iām an 8th grade math teacher. Overall, I have pretty good relationships with my students and am pretty well liked. Howeverā¦.. just about every year since I returned to teaching there are 1 or 2 students where there is a significant conflict ā they act out, rage bait, and I fall for it. A power struggle ensues. Wash, rinse, and repeat all year. Parent contact doesnāt help. I know Iām not handling these students the best way, and Iām here humbly asking for your advice. Pre-planning begins on Monday. submitted by /u/Curious_Instance_971 [link] [comments]
