I am a PCT/ED tech not a nurse yet but I thought this may be a good place to ask. I don't like to say "Best of luck" or anything like that because a lot of the population I work with is really not going to get better. Also, stuff like "best of luck" doesnt sit right with me for some reason- luck already did them dirty. I am an atheist but I want something to say that captures the same sentiment as "I will pray for you" -- but HR approved and applicable to the masses. I am a very emotional person and I adore my patients, so they really are in the back of my mind always (thats probably something I should work on lol) l. I want a better way to say goodbye. Im moving to the ED soon though so maybe it will be less emotional investment than I have now, but I would still like ideas for appropriate send offs. What are you favorite things to say that just conveys to someone you hope the best for them, but without sounding too heavy? Of course, you can literally just say "I hope the best for you
I can feel you all rolling your eyes from here! š We have a new superintendent this year, and we received an email yesterday about our in-service schedule. The whole county is at the local high school for two days, and this man is kicking off his time in charge by talking about his why and helping us to remember ours. I can't believe no one got a hold of this man and explained that teachers everywhere have heard enough of this nonsense and really just want a paycheck for our work- you know- like every other job! submitted by /u/Greta464 [link] [comments]
I just came this post in the sub reddit Parenting. Anyway. My response was basically. Read to him. And work on letter sounds. But if he goes into kindergarten already reading he will be bored. And either get in trouble, get busy work, or just not enjoy it. But it occurs to me. Isnāt this what we want? Helpful engaged parents? But do we??? How often do we get kinders that we have to reteach, how to write their name. Or how to make the letter sounds. My feeling is it is more important for a kid to be able to follow directions and participate in a task than for them to be able to read coming into kindergarten. So I thought I would come in here. I mean ideally we have all the students at the same is starting level. But there is always one or two kids that are just already so far ahead. We are practicing our letters and the are writing their whole name in perfect penmanship. We are dancing to a song about the alphabet and they are standing off to the side because to them this is little kid
Hello! Iāve been working nights for the last 6ish years, and recently applied for several day shift positions.

I've been doing Internal Travel out of state for 1.5 years and I'm at the point of my life where I want to look for a non-bedside role, settle down and have kids within a year. I'm debating on either going for my NP vs looking for a CDI/UR role (which is easier said than done). āA recruiter from a large hospital system based in Central FL reached out to me regarding a permanent part time float pool position. They would have my base rate as $47/hr for having 9.5 years of experience as an RN, $7/hr float differential, $7/hr night shift differential and $1/hr weekend differential. The pros of this position is I wouldn't have to pay rent and I float between 3 hospitals which is the furthest hospital is 25-30 minutes away. āCurrently right now I make $76/hr including base and night shift differential (I make $82/hr working weekend nights). āIf you're in my shoes what would you do? submitted by /u/vintageintrovert [link] [comments]
I teach GED at a prison part time and Iām actually good at it, which feels great, but I fucking hate being a woman (Iām cis but I just donāt like dealing with shit like this).

Heās not like GOING TO TOWN but he is definitely interfering with himself and I saw the shaft of his penis. And I feel bad because I didnāt immediately set boundaries. I froze and just kind of continued as normal. We finished the lesson. After wrapping up I told my supervisor and asked not to work with that student again. But Iām a dumbass.

My manager scheduled me for 6 days in a row, the last 3 being my first 3 nights off orientation, and on my second night on my own i had a patient who was just admitted 20 minutes before the change of shift, my other patient had to be transferred and i got an admission. then another night i was on my own i got another admission, and then another night i got a patient who came in at the change of shift again.

Right after COVID our hospital stopped requiring the ED nurses to call up to the floor and give report on patients. Their reasoning is that the ED nurses are ātoo busyā (response to the whole hospital from the ED department manager). I completely understand that the emergency room is an entirely different type of busy than the floor is, but itās lead to so many problems and multiple sentinel events: patients being sent up just to be immediately sent to the ICU, patients arriving with no IVs, patients here for sepsis but their antibiotics or boluses were never given, patients with critically low potassium who code on arrival because it wasnāt replaced in the emergency room, dropping off an already deceased patient.. itās a mess Just last week we had a patient sent up to our medsurg unit in four point restraints and completely unresponsive. Came up in the low 70s on 4L nasal cannula. No report given, no medical history, unsure why theyāre in restraints or why the ED thought it was approp

I've been teaching in the same district for about twenty years. Our head custodian retired last year and another long-time custodian was promoted to his position. My relationship with her has been okay, but she can be temperamental. An example: After a field trip, I had about 100 kids eating in the auditorium since we arrived after the cafeteria was done serving food for the day. This is normal practice for a late arrival field trip. In front of students and a couple other teachers / chaperones, she got in my face and pretty much yelled at me for not letting her know kids would be eating in the auditorium. I did sign out the space through the appropriate channels at our school, and I just didn't think to tell her directly. (I always make sure the kids clean up, and when there are a few bags or bottles left behind, I go through and pick up.) Another time, I need tables for an after school activity and she delivered them to their locations without a problem. So things aren't always bad b

I feel like I can't get clean. Doc did a bedside bronch today. Asked me to come in to push some extra sedation so I'm at the side of the bed doing so. I guess maybe the patient coughed and doc reflexively pointed everything away from himself (despite being in full PPE whereas I just have my gloves because the patient was in significant distress and needed the meds ASAP). Bloody lung juice splashed my face and arms. Probably my chest too but at least I didn't feel it through my scrubs. Then the doc says "Watch out." Like he isn't the one pointing the thing at me. Y'all I almost lost my job the things I wanted to say. Barely managed to keep my composure long enough to finish pushing the med and get out of the room to scrub down. I've showered and washed my face multiple times but still feel like its on meš At least the residents assisting him were so sweet afterwards and checked on me to make sure I was okay. submitted by /u/Meghaslotsofquestion [link] [comments]
I got my teaching credential in 2024, and for the last two years I've been subbing. Last year I only got one interview, in October. But I also landed a long-term sub position at a school I knew well and the teacher I was replacing reached out to me specifically. I really thought this was going to be my big break. It felt like everything was finally lining up. It didn't work out. Now school starts in two weeks, I've applied to every district I can, and I've heard nothing. I've called principals, sent emails, introduced myself when subbing at schools I liked. No movement.

My hospital has amazing tuition reimbursement for nurses to get their MSN or a Master's in a healthcare-related field. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to take advantage of the benefit. To be honest, if I could be a bedside nurse forever, I would want to do that -- but I know the risk of physical injury is high in our field, and I worry that I should have a backup plan/path if I ever end up unable to do bedside. As the post title implies, I'm not interested at all at becoming an NP. I'm currently not interested in leadership or becoming an educator. I do enjoy data analysis, so informatics seems tempting, but with the advent and continuous refinement and advancement of AI, I worry about how the field will survive (please note I have not done any research on this; if I'm completely wrong, please share why I shouldn't worry). My questions are thus: Considering I would have to pay very little if not anything to obtain an MSN, should I get one for a "just in case" scenario? Or to
Iām really bummed out because a month ago I had talked to a principal of a small private elementary school, she said they were going to open an art teacher position for this school year . She saw my application and resume and said someone will contact me for an interview.No one reached out to me and I called the number she personally gave me to call if I had any questions, I called that number several times and it would go straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail and no one got back to me. So I tried a different phone number listed on their website and a lady answered and I asked if there is any openings for art teacher and she said no , not at the moment. Iām feeling very depressed because the principal really gave me such false hope. I just saw on their facebook they were having parent meet the teacher next week. So Iām thinking they probably hired someone else or they will open the position next year . Iām applying everywhere else as teacher aide but I just really wanted a shot at

How do you as a nurse combat the afternoon slump? Biologically humans are programmed to feel tired from 1-3pm and 2-4am. This is around 7 hours into the shift, both for day and night shift. How do you combat the drop in energy levels apart from chugging that daily monster energy drink or Celsius or Starbucks drink? I was watching a YouTube video about this as I deal with this slump. Most of the suggestions are for people who can take power naps or additional rest or outdoor breaks during the slump hours.

Hi So I got my preliminary last year in California and got hired into the district as a temporary teacher. I taught 8 years before in charter schools. I a great teaching year but not so much with staff. There was no room left for me to return to a classroom so I had to go to matter what. I didnāt find out until after the school year that the principal said although heās a great teacher I wouldnāt rehire due to temperament. The Union mention that if I was told this before the school year ended they could have helped but now thereās nothing to do. The school district says I can remain āin the substitute poolā, but the Union says everyone who I would want to put me in a permanent position can see the principle said not to rehire. I spoke to the old principle and they said they be willing to speak or email anyone in the district about her honest opinion.

Iāve been a nurse for 14 years and worked a variety of jobs including med surge, ER, and PACU. Right now Iām working at an outpatient surgery center that specializes in Ortho cases. Today we had a patient emergency and I was the one who found the patient symptomatic. The patient grew worse quickly and we ended up having to transfer them to the emergency room. The patient is stable there and there were no bad outcomes, but I felt completely unprepared during the emergency. My coworkers tell me I was calm and did a great job, but I actually didnāt do much besides grab a pump, lipid emulsion, and hit the code bell. My mind was a blank the entire time. I could not think about what I needed to be doing. I did not assign jobs during the code or record or lead the team even though I was charge today and found the patient. I find this has been happening a lot lately, which is frustrating as I worked in ER and hospital PACU prior to being outpatient. I take acls and pals every 2 years but if yo

I read up on the Mississippi changes to education. I find it interesting that they hold kids back at third grade. I teach 6th grade ELA and I see so many kids come into my class with very low reading scores. Honestly, by the time they get to middle school, a lot of bad outcomes are far more likely to occur. The number of kids who come back from a second grade reading level in sixth grade is very few. They get put in my classroom with very little in the way of support.

I need to see heme-onc and my PCP put in a stat order for a private oncology group - I have called on four separate occasions and not been able to make an appointment, left voice mails, etc. I'm worried that if this is how hard it is to get an appointment that it's going to be a night mare to work with them. My assistant nurse manager has some pull at the cancer center associated with the hospital we work at (she used to work in onc) and gave me a recommendation and said that I should mention I'm a nurse across the street. She said if I have trouble she will make some phone calls. Is this weird? I've had my dr friends call me in abx for a uti before, but never had someone pull strings for appointments. submitted by /u/dopaminegtt [link] [comments]
