Hi nurses. First of all, thanks for all you do. I hope this type of post is allowed. My friend recently got back into dating and has met someone who feels like a good match. They used to be a nurse but told my friend they lost their license due to sexual misconduct because they "checked the full body of a patient who complained of a rash." The way they have explained, it seems as though they believe they were checking the full body out of medical necessity. The documentation online says otherwise. The document basically says: this patient was not actually this nurses patient, nurse asked another employee if they could observe them taking vitals and check the rash, they entered the room several times without direction to do so, asked patient if rash was in certain areas (breast, genitals, buttocks), the patient showed the rash that ended on their stomach, then nurse asked to see all the above mentioned areas, grabbed waistband of pants to look down them, and examined/touched all above m
I am not in need of a job, but I periodically check job posting websites and I always see charter schools hiring, year after year.

I’ve been a nurse for 6 years but in the NICU (level III) for four months. I still feel pretty new to the unit and am still learning all things newborn. On shift yesterday, there were approximately 15 nurses for 44 babies. Yesterday, I had an assignment with four babies: Baby A was 2 days old, had D10 going in a PIV, was on a CPAP of 6, and had several bili lights. Parents were there to help but needed to be coached through some things. Ate by NG. Q8 sugars. PIV went bad so had to be replaced. Labs due once per shift. Baby B was a chronic BPD baby on 1L. Very fussy. Mom was there for two sets of cares. Ate by NG. Had six meds throughout the day. Desats often. Baby C was 34 week old that spelled seven times the day before, but otherwise not on O2 or fluids. Doc increased his caffeine dose so he only spelled once for me on that shift. Ate by NG. Two meds. No parents. Medication and food were an hour late once due to replacing IV for baby A and no one else around to help. Baby D was being
Hi everyone, I’ve been accepted into both an ADN nursing program and a Radiologic Technology program, and I have to choose one. I’m 43 years old, so I want to make the right decision because this will probably be my last career change. I already have a bachelor’s degree, and all of my prerequisites were A’s, so I’m not worried about handling the coursework. I’m drawn to nursing because of the career growth, variety, and job opportunities. But I’m also concerned about burnout and how difficult the first couple of years can be as a new nurse. Radiologic Technology also interests me. It seems like students get a lot of clinical experience and are well prepared when they graduate. My only concern is that the long-term career growth seems more limited, with advancement mostly coming from moving into different modalities like CT, MRI, IR, Cath Lab, or EP Lab. If you were in my position, which would you choose and why? I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have worked in either fie
I’m a female first year teacher and got invited to a couple of my (also female) students grad parties…it’s a hot summer and I want to wear a tank top because we’re outdoor, is that inappropriate? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question! Thanks. Edits and addendums: Perhaps the word “party” makes it less clear, but these are afternoon, PG gatherings! In fact, the two i’ve attended thus far have had fellow teachers there. Bring a card, have some light food, congratulate student and their family, and then leave after a little bit. Depending on the family, usually there aren’t even drinks available to the adults. I know how these things go from the family/friend attendee standpoint…all I needed advice on was if a tank top may be perceived as inappropriate. Lol, I ended up playing it safe wearing a t-shirt and capris today! Thanks to everyone who shared their clothing related insights. Peace and love to those who questioned my professionalism—I know you are all just trying to be helpful. Hav
For my first 10 years of teaching I worked during the summer. This summer I'm not. I’ve realized that one of the most overlooked benefits of teaching is the chance to experience a small version of retirement every year. Very few careers give you an extended stretch of time to slow down, focus on yourself, explore new interests, take up hobbies, travel, or simply figure out how you actually want to spend your days. In a way, summer break is a trial run for retirement before we return to school in the fall. This “practice retirement” has already taught me a lot about what I enjoy, what I don’t enjoy, and what I may genuinely want to pursue when I eventually retire. It has also made me realize that retirement is not just about leaving work, but finding a new purpose. submitted by /u/flatteringhippo [link] [comments]
Coverage of the Massachusetts nursing strike and the corporate entities that run it. An excerpt, "For 24 consecutive years, America has ranked nursing as its most trusted profession. Our reward? Becoming one of the most relentlessly exploited workforces in the country. America loves nurses, at least in theory. But admiration is cheap, and it costs the wealthy hospital systems in America absolutely nothing. Right now, over 4,000 nurses from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts are in the news for being on strike. The media will report on the strike, but they will never — ever —highlight the nurses. Instead, they lean heavily on statements from hospital leadership. Over 18 nursing strikes have happened this year, with seven more authorized before the end of 2026. In every single one, the nurses sound the same alarm, safe staffing. But you won’t hear about that part. The nurses become the subject of the story; the hospitals get to tell it. It gets framed as a wage dispute, or sim
Hi, baby NICU nurse here of 5 months, but I previously worked in Adult Stepdown for two years. Today I worked with an RT I have not worked with at all since finishing orientation, and our interactions were very concerning to me. Not only was she extremely critical of me in every care time with our baby (from when I should change my gloves to how I should place an NG), but I felt that she overstepped and did several things that were outside her scope of practice. She removed an NG I was in the middle of placing because she said it was in the trachea (it was not), started trying to do my cares early without me present (as early as 45 minutes while I was feeding another baby) and even went as far as to draw my am labs (not ABG: a bili, bmp and NBS.) I understand I do not have near as much experience as she does (8 years in NICU) and there’s plenty she could teach me, but this feels like a legal issue to me. I do not feel comfortable charting an assessment that I did not personally do, nor
I am just now driving home from one of the most exhausting nights I’ve had in awhile. 13 hours of truly non-stop movement and high stress situations. I work Mother/Baby and was on by myself as Stork so I attended all the deliveries. Our Postpartum rooms are maxed out so every delivery I also had to keep the baby and round on them. This also means we ran out of certain items for each baby (cribs, security tags, etc) I ended up delivering 7 babies and so in addition to helping deliver each new baby (prep paperwork, enter in preferences, deliver, footprints, admit, orders, bands, full assessments, medications, 3x vitals, education, complete paperwork and charting) I also had to do rounds on my existing babies and tend to their needs, medications, blood sugars checks, assisting with breastfeeding etc. And eventually making the call to send one to NICU. I am hurting and tired and hungry. I didn’t realize how stressed I was until I found myself having to take several deep breaths and try to
I have gone to my last IEP meeting and after a few years of going to essentially the same IEP meeting, I think I understand what they are for. IEP meetings are not to help the student, they are fulfil a legal requirement. Students who are struggling are largely ignored the further into education you go. I find that the increase in responsibility produces two things. The first is lying. We don't ignore them, we ignore their learning. These kids get passed along with not real accountability or responsibility. Has any kid ever not met their IEP goals? I've never seen it. Kids always make their goal because the district pressures case managers to make up data. It's illegal, but it's how the system works. Lying is much easier than actually teaching the kids. The second outcome is just letting the kid fail. If there is a student who isn't a behavior issue, and their parents don't care, we just send them through without any consideration. If the parents don't show up to the IEP meeting, the s
Hello my friends! Medical Laboratory Scientist here! So, as the title suggests, I am curious as to if you, as nurses, ever approach the providers with concern regarding essentially useless/redundant testing. By that, I mean testing that doesn't change how you approach or care for the patient or is just blatantly wasteful. The lab is expensive, and waste aside, I feel like we harm patients with frivolous or careless testing. I feel like it's partially my duty to watch out for our patients where I can, but my hands are tied. Who am I to question a physician/ provider? Let me give you a really simple example: ESR The patient comes into the ED and gets an ESR as part of diagnostic testing. The patient is admitted. The hospitalist orders an ESR 3 hours later - the same value. 3 additional hours later, routine labs come around, and the provider(hospitalist) has ordered yet another ESR. Guess what, same value. An elevated ESR is clinically an elevated ESR. How are we changing patient care wit
I just saw a video of a lady saying that parents having access to grades 24/7 is terrible for everyone involved. And I started thinking about what it was like when I was a kid in school (2004? 5?-2017) and I didn’t have access to my grades online until middle and high school. But even then, I only got to check them when we had computer lab time because Chromebooks weren’t a thing in my school until my sophomore year and EVEN THEN it was one roaming cart that teachers had to sign up to use. So checking grades wasn’t really an option. Plus I didn’t have a computer at home that I could use. I only remember checking my grade once the entire 12 years and the only reason I remember is because I was struggling in math and my teacher put in a grade wrong and my grade went from a C to an A+ then back to a C within like 10 minutes. That was in my elective class where the teacher had exactly 3 desktops in the classroom. Now my students spend more time staring at their Aeries than they do actually
I was a LVN for 21 years, got my ADN in 2023 and BSN in 2024. I have been working in a pediatric outpatient office/clinic for the past 18 years. Since finishing my BSN I’ve been trying to move to a hospital position. I’d love PACu but I’m willing to start med/surg. The problem is I keep getting rejections because I don’t have hospital experience. The few interviews I’ve actually landed did not equate to offers.

A few years ago there was a fire on my ward. I got a patient who couldn’t move herself out of the room and put out the fire at the same time. Then I finished my shift, because other patients still needed me. My hands were shaking. But I functioned. And what still gets to me isn’t the fire. It’s that no one asked me afterward how I was doing. Not that day. Not that week. Never. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. how we’re trained to absorb everything and process none of it. Does anyone else have a moment like this that nobody ever followed up on? submitted by /u/No-Shoe4245 [link] [comments]
Hello. I have been a nurse for one year. Anytime something emergent is happening with my patient I just draw blanks. Don't remember whats going on or important details other staff should know about. Or even what do at the time. Just complete and utter blanks. Couldn't even tell my charge what was going on when she asked. What's going on? Literally said I don't know. Any advice to how to prevent this or get better with this. I grabbed another nurse to help me and her logic behind what she was doing was just so organized and she knew exactly what to do. I wish I could be like her. And so calm too. I'm a hot chaotic mess in these scenarios. No, stopping and taking a deep breath does not help me. I'm not sure I will get constant experience and exposure in this area to where I could get used to it since these situations aren't common in the tiny community hospital I work at. I've just gotten lucky over the past few weeks having gotten three of them. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/non
Took care of an L&D patient recently post op c-section was having eclampsia, 3 seizures in ER and when I asked my charge why she’s in ICU and she couldn’t really give me a good reason. This isn’t the first time this happened either. 1 month out of orientation had to admit a post op c-section who had HELLP syndrome and the only reason she came to ICU was due to a critical platelet count. She was perfectly stable but needed a unit of platelets which was very well within the abilities of any inpatient hospital nurse you would think but no I’m the one suddenly having to learn on the fly their assessments and order sets with no prior OB experience of any kind. Mind you I’ve had to transfuse for a critical platelet count on medsurg before. This is among other weird things about the place I currently work but I wanna know if it’s like this in other places too. submitted by /u/Tropicana_Abundance [link] [comments]
So, I’m starting as a new teacher this year, teaching early childhood. And although I posted in a EC group a few times already seeking advice I didn’t get much engagement idk why tho. Basically, while I’m trying to learn the curriculum I don’t feel prepared in other aspects. Like, I was told I don’t need to do testing or grading, and that I will not really be teaching but instead doing observations on student initiated activities. My principal told me my job would be easy, lesson planning would be easy. But a part of me thinks it sounds too good to be true. Because my student teaching was in art, I taught kindergarten through 5th grade and it was a very chaotic experience. Also I wanted to be an art teacher but there weren’t many job openings for that this year so I had to settle with early childhood instead. In my experience with the kindergarten kids it was always easier for me to manage their behaviors, than with 5th graders that would be sassy and defy classroom rules, and I liked
I have accepted a position in a 2 year masters in speech pathology program starting this fall, but I can't stop thinking about nursing. I've had experiences in both fields and think I could excel in both careers but am worried that I won't enjoy speech as much, and there is less growth within the profession. I'm scared that I am making the wrong decision with speech and will eventually pivot to nursing anyways. I am going to have to take out around 70k for my upcoming speech program which seems like an insane amount of money, but if I switched to nursing I would do an ABSN program which also looks expensive.

(So this happened to me a while back in my first year of teaching but I wanted to get others’ opinions on whether or not it was too harsh. Obviously there’s nothing I can do about the situation now and so I’m not really looking for advice per se, but maybe thoughts on what to do differently if the situation comes up again. This is quite long so I apologize but appreciate anyone who reads through to the end and sticks it out.) In my first year of teaching, I was teaching 5th graders. I was not nearly as prepared as I should have been (at no fault of my own, just bad school management and horrible administration). But I gave it my best shot and did what I could to engage my students and be the teacher they needed. About halfway through the year, I had determined who my “good students” were and who my “bad students” were (pausing here to say that I don’t actually believe in this verbiage or grouping students this way, but for the sake of the post, I’m just clarifying) and we had a solid r

Hi everyone! I am going to be a second year first grade teacher in the fall. While overall this year was a success, I did have some issues with classroom management (not based on anything my admin said, I just felt like my room was chaos at times). When my paraprofessionals were in the room, things would go pretty smooth and I’d be able to teach effectively and it would be great. However, we had lots of staffing switches, especially towards the end of the year. Out of my 19 kids, while most of them listened to me no matter what, I had maybe 5 boys that would be silly when my paras weren’t there. And the para wasn’t assigned to any of these kids. They would do things like say no to work, wander the classroom during independent work time or teaching time, talk during lessons, and I had one that even would try to make a “show” to make other kids laugh. At the beginning of the year, I wrote a list of expectations with the kids (they came up with what to write on the class promise). For the
I’m teaching at a grade 6-8 school with sped students many of whom use a check in check out sheet daily to earn things for their positive behavior intervention . I really want to move away from the daily paper sheets as most kids don’t bother to carry them around or they feel embarrassed having to get them each morning. I feel like if I made a digital form where the teachers could score them during passing period it would be less cumbersome but also I don’t have that much faith in them to remember to actually do it unless the student puts a paper directly in their hands… is there a school who is doing this successfully? Or what is working out in the real world lol 😂 I’m at a loss . submitted by /u/polarbears97 [link] [comments]

So, this memory just came to me today, and I need to share it with someone. Hey, you are the lucky "someone." In about 2005, before I really knew a lot about email, and all things computer related, my special ed director 'blind copied' me on some emails to a support staff (therapist) in which she was chewing him out for several different things. I was the "team leader," but that comes with no real authority. I would just help newer teachers learn things paperwork or classroom management related, even though I had only been teaching a few years at this time. Anyways, I digress. So, I had absolutely NO IDEA what 'bc' was. It was over Christmas Break when I checked my work email. I used to check it once a week or so....oh, those were the days. I had 3 emails that were sent to this therapist. I 'replied' and told my director that I wasn't sure why I was getting these emails and she must be sending them to the wrong person. Needless to say, he saw my response. The therapist used those email
Whats up yall! I am a recently licensed RN in Ny. I am also of North African descent, and in my early 20s. My family supported me becoming an RN, but I am occasionally getting comments about it. Recently they have been asking me to find someone to marry, but they are saying things like "you need to advance your education, not many women want to marry a nurse." This deeply troubled me. I think I am a successful young man with a 6 figure salary, and pension. I understand that I am in a female-dominated profession, but like really? I hope I did not mess with my ability to get married by becoming an RN.

Hi everyone! Okay so I last year was my very first year of teaching fresh out of college. I came in so excited and ready to meet all of my co workers until I realized what they were saying about me. Right when the year began other people started telling me this girl on my team is claiming that I'm bullying her, she was also new to teaching?? (I WAS NOT!) she made up all of these lies about me and apparently people were feeding into it. Another veteran teacher started slandering my name around the school because she said I was rude and unprofessional when she made a joke towards me and I was joking with her too!! She told me I'm so funny and she loves my humor. Then it slowed down because people realized i wasn't mean!!! Then it happened again at the end of the year when the veteran teacher came to look through classrooms to see where she was moving and I was mid eating. I said hello and she said she's just looking at the room and she left. Come to find out she's at a teacher hangout te
I am in the process of transitioning careers- museum professional to teaching- and am looking mostly for advice. First question, do school systems really hire late/last minute? I have seen so many things about how schools and the school system hire for positions last minute or towards the end of the summer, super close to the start of the school year. Is that true? How are new teachers meant to prepare if they get maybe a couple of weeks to get things set up and organized? Secondly, I am based in Maryland and from my understanding (I could be totally wrong) because I have my BA in History I am able to get hired on a provisional license in a secondary setting, either middle or high school, and get my official licensure while teaching. If any other Maryland based teachers who came into the field through the alternative route have comments or advice on this process please feel free to say something! I am currently substituting (when it's not summer) and have been able to speak to some tea

Moving to a new school and new grade level, and I’m hoping to start buying for my classroom library. Originally was going to hit yard sales but then I just got the urge to buy them brand new books, it’s just I teach on what are called “community” schools which is very low income, because I’ll be honest low income here means like they likely live in a shelter, group home, foster care, rely on the school or food bank for food, so on. And that’s okay, but I feel like buying them some quality, brand new books for the room would be meaningful for them instead of more stuff that’s hanging on its last thread, literally. So what’s good to buy for this age range (9-11 ish). My kids are 7 and under and on the young side so it’s hard to judge if what they’d like to read is what these kids would, and then last year I taught grade 8 and I didn’t even do a classroom library because they were just so rude to anything I bought I knew they’d vandalize all the books so quickly… Any suggestions are very

The second career fantasy thread got me thinking about this more seriously than I expected. Not in a dramatic way, just genuinely curious what people would actually do if they walked away. For me it would probably be something with my hands, maybe carpentry or some kind of trade work. There is something appealing about a job where you finish your shift and you can physically see what you built or fixed. No charting about it. No one calls you at 2am to ask if you documented it. Nursing skills transfer more than people give credit for. The critical thinking, staying calm when everything is going sideways, managing difficult personalities all day. None of that maps cleanly onto a resume outside of healthcare though. I think a lot of us end up staying not because we have no other options but because leaving feels like throwing away years of hardearned knowledge and a tolerance for chaos that most people couldn't handle for a single shift. Curious what people have actually thought about or
I work in LTC and have for years, so I’ve had hundreds of hospice patients at this point and have seen many of them die. I have absolutely no issue giving comfort meds, I think they are absolutely necessary for a peaceful death in a lot of cases. However, this one has made me question a lot. I currently have a resident who has been on hospice for a few months now. They are definitely making a decline and had a really bad week this week, but they weren’t declared to be actively dying. They are receiving more hospice visits though. Yesterday this resident seemed to be normal and baseline. They have dementia and are normally a wanderer so that’s what they were doing. They fall quite often, but they have for the whole year they have been here and years before when they were at home. In LTC the resident has a right to fall, so no restraints are allowed. The hospice nurse asked me if I had given them any meds yet that day, and I hadn’t because he wasn’t agitated or didn’t seem to be in pain.
*trigger warning- bugs* Charge RN in medical ICU here- we found maggots in one of our patients mouths today and I’m wondering what the likelihood is of the eggs originating from our unit (I.e did one of these fucking flies lay eggs in our patients mouths????) Patient admitted 6/28 for sepsis and was intubated 7/5. Maxed on 4 pressors now. ENT came to evaluate and ultimately said nothing they could do because pt is obviously too unstable for OR. But they made a comment saying that the maggots have been there for a while due to the amount of them. Upon further research it seems like the eggs are layed and hatched with a day. So we are all paranoid that these flies on our unit actually caused this. Does anyone have any experience with this? submitted by /u/cjd5081 [link] [comments]

RNs complain about CNAs and Clerk, CNAs complain about RNs and Clerk, Clerks complain about RNs and CNAs. It’s just non stop complaining and no one wants to (or can) do anything to make it better. As a clerk I have seen bad RNs, CNAs, and Clerks. I try to get along with everyone but it feels like a test of patience and professionalism. Call bells going off and RNs running in to help patients use the bathroom when the CNAs are sitting playing with their phones. RNs yelling at CNAs for having questions. Clerks literally just sitting there doing nothing. No one communicates professionally or acts professionally at all. I don’t expect anyone to be corporate but at least have some professionalism.

I’m an LPN, I work in med-surg. And I’m sure many of you can guess, based on the title, what company I work for. Every day, I’m terrified for the well being of my patients, and I’m terrified for my license. Each nurse has 7 patients, and each PCT has 20+ patients. We recently had several nurses quit with no replacement staff being hired. Nurses have been fired for trying to unionize, management regularly documents that we clocked out for lunch even when we didn’t. Nurses feel pressured to clock out for lunch but work through their lunch so they don’t have to stay late. I have a year before I’m an RN. My employment options are limited. Idk what to do. submitted by /u/sparkplug-nightmare [link] [comments]
I’m a mild/mod SPED teacher and I’ve been looking for some field-tested, FUN, and maybe even funny icebreakers that my high schoolers would actually enjoy. I’ve looked online and I really don’t see my population of students finding them engaging. submitted by /u/darthbaldo22 [link] [comments]
11th grade us history and american lit teacher here. On the first day I usually have them make name tags so we can learn each others names.

I am writing here about using AI to generate content in ways that could reasonably be detected by others, such as assignment creation, emails, and written comments (I originally used a compound word that started with an "f" and ended with "back," but it flagged my post as spam, so I changed it to "teacher comments" throughout even though I strongly prefer my original word choice). Every time this issue comes up people point out that teachers and students have different roles, and that it’s not hypocritical for teachers to use a tool that students can’t.

Education, especially in K-12, is a two-way relationship. We create the learning environment, and students literally and metaphorically show up for it each day (in theory, at least).
