What would you guys do if you picked up a night shift LTC and a resident clogs their toilet with adult briefs, handfuls of rubber gloves, and toilet paper at 1 am, toilet’s overflowing and has half flooded the shared room, and you can’t even see a shut off valve to stop the water? So what I did was call the AIT and let them know what was going on. She says we should put the nightstand in front of the bathroom door. I tell her she’s not understanding what I’m telling her and I tell her maintenance needs to come in because I can’t see us fixing this issue on our own. She reluctantly says she’ll call him. So then he calls and asks me what’s going on and I tell him. He asks where the water is coming from and I tell him it’s overflowing from the top, but I think it’s flooding at the bottom too, I just couldn’t be sure because it’s all just flooded at this point. He’s clearly frustrated with my description and he says THAT’S NOT HOW TOILETS WORK. I didn’t really know what to say to that so I
I’m switching to days on my current unit and tonight was my last night shift. I just said goodbye to everyone and got hugs and definitely cried. Which is ridiculous considering I’m coming back at 7 am to be charge on day shift literally tomorrow morning 😂 but I can’t help but feel sad even though I am excited to move to day shift. submitted by /u/awilliams1017 [link] [comments]
Hey so I’m a new grad 3 months off orientation and had my first code today. Pt had been tachy 110-120s baseline and suddenly I get a call and they’re 40s. I know that’s just not right so I run in and just know something isn’t right. Immediately everything feels wrong. I book it out and ask someone else to assess and putting the pieces together I’m sure I either looked or sounded like a mess because I remember someone else call for the code cart (nobody had even been in yet) and about three people start running. At one point I hear someone ask about a pulse and I just feel so incompetent, I’m so bad at finding pulses, it takes me minutes to locate on a stable pt- and especially in an emergency situation I don’t trust myself. Someone else says no pulse, we call a code, honestly don’t remember what happened, but everyone else is getting stuff and I’m on the chest. But this has all been about 2 minutes, and they were just brady on the monitor, even when we started CPR. Thank goodness we go

hi all i got floated to the ER as an ICU nurse to handle ICU holds. i started off in the MICU as a new grad and only been in about 3 codes give or take. i had a patient (who was under MICU) code in the ED. they handed the patient off to me at 445pm after i had just transferred my other patients upstairs. the nurse who was caring for the patient told me why they came in and what the residents were doing (they were trying to put in an arterial line and central line). he was already intubated by the time the patient was handed off to me. so when the patient was handed off to me the o2 sats were in the freakin 70s even after intubation, HR up to the 160s and these residents are still trying to poke at this poor man to get an Aline in that they failed at like 5x but they wanted an accurate BP. theyre aware of this the whole time, the man is still awake and intubated, i was asking for sedation and no orders were being placed. they wanted me to start a heparin drip for a suspected PE so i did

So my district is yet again investing in a new gradebook system. It seems like every 3 years they got to Shell out money for something new that's far more complicated than the last one. Well, I was invited to go ahead and learn about the new system and how to teach it to the teachers on my campus once they come back from summer break. I got paid to do it, so I said okay. I had a lull in my vacation schedule and the extra money was going towards my daughter's birthday gift. So I did the 2 days of training which were tedious and very boring. On the second day of training, they are having us prepare our lessons on how we were going to teach the educators on our campus. It took me all of 5 minutes to come up with what I was going to do. After I was done, it was pointing out that I did not have a Icebreaker. I quite purposefully did not have an icebreaker. In my humble opinion, they are, for the most part, useless and a waste of time. So I told them that I was not going to do it. Icebreaker
I live in BC (Vancouver Island!). I just left my corporate banking career of 10 years because it made me feel so empty and like I was never contributing to anything meaningful. I’m 30 y/o, and looking for my next career move. Nursing has been quietly calling my name for a few years now, and on paper I think I’d be a great nurse. But every single person I talk with can only tell me “Don’t do it”. These are people I trust, but I also can’t help but to think “Well, maybe it’ll be different for me?”. So please, those of you who don’t regret going into nursing… who are you? Why do you think you love it? What do you love about it? What type of nursing do you do? Should I listen to those around me?

I'm a 100 percent disabled Veteran that uses a CBD CBN gummy from a reputable company in California that provides a Certificate of Analysis. The level of THC is less than 0.3 percent.... My drug test came back positive for marijuana THC 😳 The hospital's corporate headquarters are in Tennessee (Ardent Health) with a zero drug tolerance policy, so I'm betting that my job offer will be rescinded. I clearly won't be taking CBN or CBD anymore and will have to rely solely on Ambien for sleep, which in itself is problematic.

I am not a newer nurse, been a nurse for several years, but I switched hospitals and am orienting to my new facility. Last night I was giving IV steroids and oxycodone to a patient. I accidentally and stupidly threw out the vial in the sharps and then stupidly the oxycodone (in its package) as well. This has never happened to me in all my years, but of course it happens as I’m orienting to my new place. I told my preceptor. She said we would waste it in the pyxis, and change my first administration as not given and write a note in the MAR. Then I would retake the oxycodone to actually give to the patient. I put in note that med fell in sharps and wasted with preceptor who happened to be charge nurse. I’m now paranoid though that I should arc it up even more to cover myself? My preceptor and charge nurse said I am fine, but still it is my license on the line. At my old job, I’d probably just call pharmacy just to ask them, but the others said I am fine. Am I just overthinking this? subm

Okay, so. Like almost all of us, I’m worried about the plunging ability of students to read. I’ve already started unplugging and de-Chromebooking and returning to pen and paper. However, I actually want them to read. For fun. For the hell of it. Problem is, I’ve never done it effectively. Recently when I had time set aside for independent reading of a book of their own choice, most of them stared at THE SAME PAGE week after week. All they did was wait out the clock. I obviously need to make them accountable. But how? Here are some issues I was hoping to get help on. IN CLASS. Whatever they do for accountability needs to be done in class, or all I’ll get is AI slop. NO PRESENTATIONS. Everyone hates them and we don’t have time. A three-minute presentation would take a minimum of a hundred and five class minutes. NO VIDEOS. All I’ll get will be AI slop, but video. THOUGHT-PROVOKING. I actually want them to think about the books they are reading—not answer bullshit like “In chapter 5, what
One of the students in my uni class talked all the time about how she and her mom (teacher at her old high school) would constantly talk about the other teachers and such, good or bad, how they were doing, "I can't believe xyz happened", what crazy thing they said in front of students or in the break room, etc. This got me wondering about how teachers who are parents of kids in the school they work at have perceptions change about their co-workers or even their own kids. Have your kids told you something surprising, good, or bad, about your co-workers/their other teachers? Have your co-workers told you something surprising about your own kid?

Just taking a moment to reflect on the past year. There was a time where myself as a special Ed teacher did not have an assistant assigned to the room and this went on for 3 months - due to the ages, ratio and needs of the students this is required and written into some IEPs for students who need a 1:1 so with that alone, compliance was not being met. I didn’t outright complain, I advocated for my students and their needs, I gathered data to support it. In the most respectful and data driven way possible, I made the classes needs know without it being me as an individual being the squeaky wheel. Then once the classrooms needs were clearly know, and admin was trying to put subs in there daily, which in itself is exhausting to have to basically train a new sub each and every day in a classroom of unique needs, there was a stretch of time where they did not have subs or needed to put them elsewhere. I walked into the office to get my mail and without even a “good morning” I was met with “

SIENA HEALTHCARE (Named misspelled for legal reasons) So the skilled nursing home I currently work at has been a work in progress for a long time.. we had a nursing meeting this morning and the DON was telling us floor nurses to ensure that we are having the CNAs do check and changes every two hours. And I simply told her they only give us about 20 washcloths per night and we have 29 patients in a unit.. most of the CNA’s have to limit the amount of times they are changing people simply because we do not have wipes or washcloths.. how are we supposed to change 20+ people with that. I told her I’m going to start counting every single wash cloth we get and documenting the times we get them. She said that information was very helpful and she will look into it. I guess they are ordering the max amount of washcloths and towels every month that the budget allows.. but the CNA’s have been throwing them away. Hopefully something gives..

During report today I had a comment made that really just say funny with me. For some background, I’m on orientation in a surgical ICU (TL2), as I just switched hospitals and was working at a smaller hospital in their ICU which operated much like a MICU. Some of the nurses on this floor are very particular and “Type A”. They want a whole mini book on the patient. I’ve noticed this and tried to make sure I’m building reports that include as much as possible while considering things that I may find minuscule and ensuring I include them to try to meet the needs of other nurses who don’t operate like I do (which is totally fine). I gave a pretty good report IMO. Decent time-line, head to toe, relevant/out of range labs, drips, lines, etc. There was only one thing, maybe two, that was asked by receiving nurse I didn’t know. Tried to make light conversation and said something along the lines of “sorry, I’m type B and try my best to make sure I write everything as I’ve noticed a lot of the nu
I had a patient go under full anesthesia to get a fish hook removed from a limb. No blood vessels, nerves or other structures were in danger. The patient was simply too afraid to get it done with lidocaine, a nerve block or even conscious sedation. So they underwent surgery to get the hook point pushed through, snipped off and the hook pulled back out (and the subsequent wash out). It took less than five minutes. Didn’t even need stitches or packing. A foam adhesive dressing (like a band-aid), antibiotics, tetanus shot and otc pain medicine. I was really surprised that the physician allowed the risk of anesthesia. submitted by /u/ArkieRN [link] [comments]
I'm sharing a deeply personal experience that affects/influences my career as an educator. I'm intentionally leaving out identifying details because I don't want anyone identified or accused. I'm genuinely looking for advice from fellow educators. I just completed my first year as a full-time high school English teacher in New Jersey and that's part of why I'm struggling with this. When I was 15, turning 16, I became involved with a statutory situation with an adult man who was 31/32 years old. The relationship lasted approximately 18 months to 2 years. During that time, he was mentally, emotionally, sexually, and psychologically abusive. Years later, while I was earning my Master's in Teaching, I unexpectedly walked into one of my graduate classes and discovered that the perpetrator was also a student in the program, in my same class! Seeing him again gave me a nervous breakdown, triggered PTSD and severe depression caused me to withdraw from my graduate program. I spent several month

Hello, I am a 4th grade teacher in an elementary school with a very high population of English learners, like 75%+ of my class. The vast majority of my students, even my non-ELs, come to me reading 2-3 grade levels below. If you know 4th grade, you know that the ELA texts are incredibly complex and require a lot of vocabulary and background knowledge. We use HMH Into Reading (blegh). With that background, does anyone have an annotation strategy that works across genres and that the students would be able to utilize on computer-based state testing? I want to give them a concrete strategy to break down complex texts, but if it’s dependent on marking up a text it won’t help them on state testing where they can only highlight or use blank scrap paper. I want them to have something they can engage in while reading that gives them confidence that they can work through something above their level. I know there is no silver bullet, but I haven’t been able to find an annotation strategy or read

I’m around 6 months off orientation and I feel like this is my lowest point yet, especially since they are so close together. I honestly just feel really bad because I didn’t realize what I did was wrong and I know this is a big gap in my knowledge. The first mistake that came up was that I was giving dilaudid and I had to waste to give the appropriate dose. I wasted with another nurse and unfortunately I accidentally threw away the bottle in the med room. I realized this in the pt’s room and realized I had nothing to scan. So I went out and asked another nurse to waste the remaining so I can pull another so I had something to scan. I didn’t think this was issue because I wasted the first dose but the next day they flagged me because of the fact I pulled two doses. I learned now that it’s better to get a WOW and just scan the med from the pyxis and cancel so it doesn’t look like I grabbed two. I just feel horrible because while it’s a common mistake, I feel like I’m in the wrong due to
In most states, compulsory attendance laws are in place to keep students showing up to school. But when a kid is just completing apathetic and not turning anything in or participating in any activities, the state should be stepping in to get them back on track. A lot of the time, this stems from neglectful parents who don’t give a shit about their child. It can also stem from undiagnosed mental health problems or disorders.
