I’m a new grad and have been in the ICU for 7 months now. I feel like such an inadequate nurse for already not loving bedside. It blows my mind that people do this for YEARS?! What is the secret? Will I magically start loving it a few years in? lol submitted by /u/ConcentrateKooky9470 [link] [comments]
I just went over my new roster and have 16/23 with some sort of label or high needs. This is an upcoming third grade classroom. What are we doing? 10 read plans and 6 sped (3 autism, 1 speech, 2 general sped) and 3 English language learners and 6 no labels and 1 custody issues When I first started teaching I had 1/22 behavior and low academics… not sustainable 😳 Haven’t started but I’m worried. submitted by /u/NoResort4369 [link] [comments]
I’m trying to max out my salary in a Chicago suburban district. I need the classes to be graduate-level, online and our contract recently changed to where the classes “must be toward some sort of certificate or degree”. I don’t actually have to earn the certificate, but I need proof that the class actually goes toward some kind of certificate if that makes sense. I need 3 more courses (technically 9 hours but ya know… most classes are 3 so yeah) I can’t do the wonderful Idaho State classes anymore since they don’t offer additional “certificates” and I am absolutely done with shelling out money to La Verne University’s current debacle of online classes. Does anyone have any guidance or recommendations? Thanks! submitted by /u/mateo14567 [link] [comments]
Hi, I recently just graduated with my bachelors of science in psychology. I want to apply to ABSN programs but I don’t have any relevant nursing experience. I wanted to ask if I should be working to become a CNA? Should I do volunteer work at a hospital or inpatient facility? (My preferred option) or is there any other recommendations? My family tells me that working as a CNA won’t help me build experience.. I wanted to get opinions about how I should gain some relevant experience. I’m leaning towards volunteering because I know it’s very much needed in healthcare, and I’d be more comfortable starting a job that I’m familiar with as opposed to launching myself into the unknown (that I’m unlikely to get hired for). I’d love opinions and recommendations about how to look more competitive for nursing school. All of my prerequisites have been completed :) submitted by /u/Hot_Breakfast8628 [link] [comments]
I took a stat tonight (I bank my stat holidays and like to use them to take a day off sometimes? But they always get denied rip, this one was accepted thank god) and the other night nurse is still off leaving NO NIGHT NURSES. DOC called me on my personal phone at home and tried to take back my stat by "offering to make a deal" involving OT pay. She also called another night nurse and left a message saying the same, as well as something about the higher ups might call.

Hello! I’m in my 3rd year teaching. I teach middle students with autism in a self contained classroom. We follow a curriculum that the district provides.Every year I try to improve in some area.

I’m a 2nd grade teacher and part of our “policies and procedures” committee for my building. We have a new principal this year, and we will be having interventionists working in the hallway/pod space with students. This will be “their” space and they will not have offices. They will be out there all day. Because of this, he doesn’t want us to do whole class restroom breaks. In the past, we’ve lined kids up and supervised them in the hall while they take turns going. (The expectation has always been silence, and sometimes we have them bring books or work as well, but this is a no go for him). We do one break in the morning and one in the afternoon for each class, and we’ve found that this cuts down on kids asking to go between breaks. I don’t think it will be successful to do no breaks and only send kids asking needed from class. Any ideas on what to do? We’re supposed to come up with a plan for the building. My solution would just be to not have interventionists working in a hallway sp
So yesterday was my first day teaching third graders, it went ok! I did okay I think, 90%of my class left saying I was their favorite teacher(taking this with a grain of salt because they’re 8 and it’s the first day but still) except I’ve felt very uneasy about one interaction. There’s a girl in my class and we’ll call her Jane. She…tested my limit yesterday. Everyone came in excited but she would interrupt me in the middle of talking to harass other girls from across the room. “Mrs. Soso, she said I was too loud. You need to move me. She’s looking at me and she’s rude, this is not happening today.” Or directly to the students “No, you’re RUDE. Yes your are. Yes you are. Yes you are”. She did this multiple times through the day, she made three girls cry. I was standing next to her at the end of the day, watching her interact with another student. This other student didn’t let her use anymore of her sticky notes (to be fair she shared three with her already) and Jane shouts “Mrs., she j

Been a nurse for 10 years, mostly ICU with some neurovascular ICU and PCU. Did the travel thing, got my CCRN, applying to schools now etc. I have never had a complaint besides attendance. I even did some middle management. It was horrible and not for me. Recently I stopped traveling and got a job 5 mins from my home to prepare to start my masters. I wanted a job that would be less stressful than a level 1-2 trauma center. I started a local hospital ICU 2 months ago. It’s been… a work in progress. It’s a small unit. We don’t keep a lot of critical things but they are trying to grow up to be a “real ICU”. We don’t have critical care docs at night though, so anything super critical still gets sent out. We do have a fully functional cath lab, but anything too crazy gets shipped over a hour away. Last week, we had a patient with an IABP that needed transport to an open heart center over a hour a way. With my experience, the manager signed me up to go with the patient via EMS. Thing is, I ha

I just started as an ED nurse and several people I’ve talked to have said the only way to make good money in nursing is to job hop every few years. The thing is, I’m happy at the hospital I work at. I’ve been here for 3 years in various roles and I really don’t want to go anywhere else. One nurse I talked to said she was making almost $60 an hour and that’s after job hopping 3-4 times. I just started out at $33. We get nearly raises but it’s only about a dollar, if that. submitted by /u/_adrenocorticotropic [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice or just some peace of mind from other teachers who have navigated alternative certification nightmares. I’m on an Alternative Route to Licensure (ARL) pathway for state of Nevada. Right before the school year starts, my principal emailed to tell me I'm being reassigned from my 5th-grade classroom to a small-group interventionist role for grades 4 and 5. From my understanding (and my program's rules), an intervention or support role doesn't meet the state's mandatory "classroom of record" requirement for my residency, which directly puts my conditional license in jeopardy. I’ve already sent a paper trail to district HR and my ARL program to flag the compliance issue, but I'm freaking out that the district won't do anything or that I'll be stuck in a non-compliant position. Has anyone else had an admin try a last-minute bait-and-switch like this with your placement? How did you handle it, and how did your alt-cert program or HR end up reso

Long story short I started off as new grad in ICU but nights weren't working for my health and the people there were toxic, now I'm in a smaller hospital in med surg daytime. People are less toxic and easier less sick patients of course, but 5 patients versus 1 or 2.....you already know the deal. Plus its way more task and customer service oriented than critical care is, and more lets get them out of here and get a new patient asap which I don't like. But man the icu was traumatizing. A patient shot himself infront of his young wife and kid. The girlfriend came and was casually talking to us about how she wanted to be a nurse trying I guess to make small talk while laying infront of her was her dieing father of her child trying to lighten the air A woman who was actively dieing and even coded earlier but the husband didn't want to accept it and kissed her and said "I love you my love" The sad way he said it, the look in his eyes, I still think about it over a year later.

Single teachers: how do you feel when people flirting or hitting on you say, “I wish you were my teacher”; “I would have paid so much better in school if you were my teacher”; “You’ll be some students’ sexual awakening.” (No joke, I have been told this before.)

Hello, I am torn because I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time and chose to go to community college. I was able to finish most of my community colleges pre requisites in high school except they split Anatomy and Physiology and I was unable to take those in high school. This past Spring semester I withdrew Physiology because I was going to get a D. I decided to retake the class this Summer and recently started a job thats overnights in a hospital as a tech. This job made school so much harder than before and my summer program was 2x as fast as regular spring semester. However the issue lies in the fact that you only get 2 tries for Anatomy or Physiology and have to get a C if you want to even be able to apply. I’ve considered switching degrees all together but have absolutely no idea what to do. I do have a passion for medicine but I struggle with school so much and recently found out I have ADHD. Any ideas as to how i can fix this dilemma and still become a nurse within 4 years?
I’m planning a move back to the Twin Cities area from Arizona. Which hospitals/systems are the best to work for? I have 10 years of nursing experience - most in PICU/NICU but also have some adult ICU experience. I really enjoy the chaos of the PICU but have not heard good things about the culture and management at Children’s from current employees. I would be open to working with adults again! My biggest factors: - Good culture with good leadership (obviously no where is perfect) - Pay is a factor but I would take a position paying slightly less if I was happy and supported there - I would love a unit/hospital that supports growth but doesn’t force you into charge roles after 6 months - Bonus points if the hospital has good benefits for future education submitted by /u/Own_Opportunity9502 [link] [comments]
I am a high school ASL teacher. This upcoming year, I’m likely going to have a high school student in our teaching program where they learn how to be a teacher by shadowing a mentor within a classroom of their choice, kinda like an internship. I want to make sure they are truly learning, especially at the beginning of the year, when they are stuck to watching my lessons and activities. I feel it would be beneficial for them to write notes and such when they’re stuck to observing, but I also am aware that they’re still only in high school. I’m considering giving them prompts to be on the lookout for during my lessons, things like “what is something you noticed about the type of language I use when teaching ASL 1 students?” Of course we would discuss their notes during any free time, so this student teacher would be able to apply these things later down the line when teaching their own lessons. However, I would love any other prompt ideas, things that would be especially helpful to a “ba
Hey Fellow Teachers, I just wanted to share a little story for anyone currently feeling discouraged by the hiring season. I’m entering my 4th year of teaching here in Southern California. Honestly, this job hunt was brutal—way harder than when I was a first-year teacher, and I still don't fully understand why the market felt so tough this time around. Since May, I’ve been on 7 different interviews, dealing with the usual radio silence, rejections, and endless waiting. About a month ago, I interviewed for a position I really wanted. Two days later, I got the standard rejection email. I moved on and kept applying elsewhere. Fast forward to today: I got an unexpected call out of nowhere from their HR department offering me that job! I couldn't believe it. If you are currently stress-scrolling, feeling defeated, or waiting on callbacks: keep going . The hiring timeline in education is weird, unpredictable, and often works in mysterious ways. Things really do have a way of working out when
Title. I’ve been a nurse for almost three years, and I used to be a HUGE hypochondriac. I think it was largely due to my mother being a hypochondriac and raising me as so, but I would go to PCP/urgent care/ER for any little thing that was out of the ordinary for me. But understanding the “why” behind certain symptoms I have has helped relieved my anxiety tenfold. Epigastric pain after a night of drinking? Probably acid reflux, and probably not stomach cancer or pancreatitis. Headache? Take some tylenol, it’s probably from dehydration and not brain cancer. I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. And no hate to people with hypochondriasis or health anxiety, I totally understand. I’m just sharing that becoming a nurse has taken a lot of that anxiety burden off my shoulders. submitted by /u/ChamomileTeaLove [link] [comments]

Hello! I have been teaching in a pretty old school building for the past 2 years. Since starting at this school I have been sick a lot. At first I thought maybe it was because I moved from states and was dealing with different allergens but I really think a lot of it has to do with the school building itself. Other teachers also notice more sickness while in the building and I have brought up possibly finding air purifiers for our rooms. Does anyone else teach in an older building and have an air purifier that has helped? I’m not wanting to spend a ton of money, but also really would love to start the school year not already getting sick. Thank you! submitted by /u/BakingBabe9444 [link] [comments]
I'm new to teaching and just started at a summer school program a couple of weeks ago. So far, it's been tough, but generally rewarding. However, I had a parent interaction during pick-up today which really upset me. For context, I have worked in customer service since high school and have never taken any interaction personally, nor have I been insulted to this extent. The parent came in while I was speaking to another group of students in the back of the room and she immediately asked why I didn't bother to say hello to her (in an extremely snarky tone). I was actually confused by this because I wasn't anywhere near her or her student when she came in. As soon as I saw her I began to walk over to her and greeted her, but I don't think she cared by that point. She began insulting me as a person, which I was also surprised by. She called me off putting, and told me that I had a bad demeanor. She then proceeded to tell me that I was a bad teacher and had no hopes of being hired by an act

To keep it short, I stumbled into leadership. Took another job after being fired, was there about 6 months before a supervisor position popped up. I thought “what the hell, apply”. Got that, did well. Then moved up by taking a department director position elsewhere. I’m also doing very well there. Salary is good ($92k in Texas), but working M-F, plus all the calls when I’m off work. I used to clean the house, run errands, do projects, all that….now I don’t have the time. Work stress always comes home with me. And worst of all, I’m starting to think it’s causing problems between me and my husband. There are so many things I like about my job (obviously the ego of the position, I don’t ACTUALLY work as hard while I’m on site, lots of flexibility to be in later and leave earlier if needed, serving as a resource to others). However I kinda miss the 3 days of grind, come home without being disturbed, having the time off, and being able to leave work at work. I just don’t know if I just need
Our principal, assistant principal, PLC (the deputized third principal type), admin assistant to the principal, librarian, and registrar quit. The entire front office is new. Oh, and my position was eliminated, but I was moved into a different professional position in spring. We are a small gen ed (on paper) school, with both an under-70-iq self contained program and an emotional disturbance/behavior "self contained" program. The behavior kids last year were not just disruptive but dangerous, scary, and the district restrictions on how they can be handled hamstringed their entire program staff. We had an excess of ten broken plate glass windows. One gen ed class went through an active gun fire scare as a behavior kid outside broke their window out with rocks (district was there with admin, doing an eval, and watched it happen). We had multiple lockdown situations while police handled dangerous students in the hall. It was a hot mess. During my last conversation with principal she flat

I’m in the last semester of my ADN program and for clinicals we have the opportunity to go down to the ED. The ED at this hospital is the only level 1 trauma center for 90 miles, so we get to see some pretty cool stuff. Before this semester, I have only been on med-surg units where there weren’t a lot of opportunities to practice skills besides catheters and med pass. First day in the ED, I put in 2 IVs, an OG, foley, and got to see a couple level 1 traumas. I’ve been 4 times now and today I messed up a lot. The nurse had to practically guide me into the vein for my only IV insertion. I didn’t push the vial of Zosyn in all the way and when I shook it, it exploded all over my face and in the pts bed. Had to be babysat through an in and out cath. Pushed an (empty) stretcher forcefully through the trauma bay doors because I couldn’t find the button to open the doors.

I’m a first year teacher so I’m in a few facebook groups for advice and ideas and it feels like every other post includes AI. Can’t just share their list of wanted supplies, everyone shares a Chat GPT-generated poster of themself in their classroom with the link. So many teachers give room tours with decorations they “created” with generative AI. Most recently, someone in one of the groups I’m in was talking about a poster they printed to cover their door. Instead of just uploading a picture of the poster, they generated a bunch of pictures of AI teachers standing outside AI classrooms with similar posters. Every single comment is asking for links/instructions/etc. I’m the only one whose first thought was “did we really need to waste a ton of water to create FAKE pictures of a poster you could have just taken a picture of?” I feel like I’m going crazy. I get that AI can be super helpful and I will absolutely admit I’ve used it before, I had over 200 chapter books and I sent the list to
After two years of working as an inpatient wound care nurse, I started in the ICU two weeks ago. Orienting as a new ICU nurse is challenging under the best of circumstances and I certainly didn’t do myself any favors by starting after two years away from traditional bedside nursing. Not only am I learning a bunch of new critical care stuff, I’m also having to remember how to do basic clinical skills, which after two years of disuse are rusty as hell. Here are some fun things that have happened over the last two weeks: Forgot all about “blue to the shoe” when priming plum pump tubing and went through multiple sets trying to figure out why it kept telling me cassette test failure. Was mixing effervescent potassium in a sample cup and for some stupid reason I put the lid on and shook it and it exploded and sprayed potassium water all over me and the floor. Was spiking a saline bag to prime the Belmont infuser and sprayed saline all over myself and the floor (this was in a learning environ
I am a new teacher. I'm 24 and female. I teach history for Year 12 and 13 (UK) and there's one student in my class who's always been a recluse. Quiet, polite, brilliant grades. He never causes problems, he just keeps to himself. He's shy, but very kind to me, making me small origami presents or drawings. Today, I was handing back essays at the end of the lesson when I dropped my pen. He picked it up before I could and handed it back to me. He looked at my hand for a moment and said, almost absent-mindedly, "I'm happy you're finally well rested again." I laughed awkwardly and asked what he meant, but he just looked confused and said he had to get to his next lesson before leaving. The thing is, I haven't been sleeping. Not for months. I lost my dad earlier this year and I've been lucky to get three or four hours a night most days. Last week was the first time in months I've started sleeping properly again. I don't wear makeup differently. I haven't told anybody at work. Nobody would kno
So I work at a hospital as a PNA ( psychiatric nurse assistant. I was on direct observation with a client .

I was asked to give a presentation about a program we piloted last year to a group of local funders. Cool, I love talking about this stuff and was already thinking about how we could expand with more money. I barely got through the intros before one of the funders (he calls himself "an amateur education expert" wth?) starts asking a bunch of questions about research supporting "this pedagogy." Come again? The rest of us are focusing on curriculum. I tried clarifying the difference but he kept going back to teacher practices. All morning. Several other folks started rolling their eyes every time he spoke. I'm generally pretty good at keeping groups focused but this guy was beyond. He clearly was not there to learn from the professionals in the room, he just wanted to wow us with his amateur education expertise. submitted by /u/HeftyHelium [link] [comments]

It's approaching two weeks before school starts again and I am absolutely dreading it. I spent last year as a resident teacher and have committed 4 more years to my district. I know that teaching is not really what I plan to do for the rest of my life (but I am in a TRAP contract) and am choosing to ride it out. All things considered, I think that I am a decent teacher and I really want to make children's lives a better place through education. The problem is that I am starting at a new school. I know no one (I thought one of my friends would be teaching at this school but she left because the kids were too taxing on her mental health), I don't know the curriculum (AT ALL, despite reaching out to the school about it), and the principal is under investigation so currently admin is a mess so I can't actually get in touch with anyone. On top of that, my certification is still processing which means I am being paid substitute rates until ~October and I am not eligible for any reimbursement

Short post: I do not agree with communal bins in a classroom for shared supplies. Every student should use what they brought from home that their parents bought them. I, as a teacher, do not have the right to take what a parent buys for their child and give them to other students. Longer post: I am an elementary teacher going into my 28th year of teaching. I do send a supply list to my first grade families every year, and yes, I expect parents to buy some simple school supplies. There is a Dollar Tree a couple miles from my school, and there is no reason why a parent cannot pick up a few pencils, folders, and glue sticks from there. I’m not asking for hundreds of dollars worth of supplies. That being said, I do understand that buying school supplies can be a big expense to some families; therefore, they do not want the few supplies they buy to go into shared bins for everyone else. I fully support that each child uses what they bring from home, rather than everything going into communa
