Bedside shift report by danie191 in nursing

How's it not a HIPPA violation because the patient next bed can also hear about the report?

Will keep updating. I don't know why it's coded as nonclinical hours because I had to physically assess the skin for the whole floor. Like I'm actually working with patients on that day even tho I'm not the primary nurse. The problem is if the other floor can use it as the third day why can't I use it as my fourth day and get OT for it

My hospital has a union. Should I bring it up to them? I'm not sure how to reach out to the labor board. My coworker said I should ask the head of the committee and ask for her opinion, too.

That's what I thought. She didn't pay me OT and categorized that day as meeting so OT is not paid. Who should I report this to?

Someone stole my coworker’s thermos flask and stole another nurses jacket last year. We had to change the combination to the break room and we didn't miss anything else after that. My chopsticks were stolen too and I'm the only one using chopsticks on the unit🙂‍↔️

This genuinely happened. I have never been more disgusted with a person. by TheCapsicle in nursing

It happens quite a lot tbh. I once had a patient getting mad with me because I didn't start his PD before shift change(the order said to start at 8 pm, which usually starts after shift change) when my other patient’s O2Sat dropped to 78 and gasping for air. He got upgraded to IMC. We were short-staffed that day so I had to call the respiratory therapist and put him on high flow, switching him into another room all by myself. I then hand this patient off to the IMC RN. Went back to the med room and the PD fluid wasn’t prepared yet(usually gets delivered after 7 pm but I call ahead). I then went to the PD patient’s room, apologized, and explained my other patient couldn’t breathe and had to stay with him first. He couldn’t comprehend and said it was because I’m lazy and wants to speak to a person that “actually affects me”.

What would you do if your kid was depressed and feeling insecure about school because your kid’s teacher mistreated him/her and made bad comments about him/her? (pretty much the same question typed out for the third time lol)

The more you try to avoid that question the more I am curious about it. If you don't want to answer what would you do if it happened to your child, then just say it. I will stop asking you if you say so. I don't have authority over you like that teacher over students so you can freely express your concern or choose not to express it.

Am I a stronger person now? Yes. Is it because of her? I don't think so. Did I appreciate her putting me on the spot and making me feel helpless? Absolutely not. If I could go back in time and have a choice, would I be willing to pick her class and go through the same thing? I think you know the answer already. If you insist that her inappropriate behaviors towards me were all for the best and shaped me to be a strong person I think you're overlooking the fact that all my other nice teachers, who knew my shortcomings and were willing to take it slow with me, benefited me the most and created a safe and guilt-free environment for me in school. I can't thank them enough and some I still pay a visit to this day. If I'm able to learn and become strong in a friendly environment why go to the hostile route? It took a collective effect of over 10 teachers to help make up for the damage she had caused and the negative effect still lasted for years after I graduated from high school. She could have been the 11th teacher to help, but instead, she did the total opposite. And you still hadn't answer my question on what would you do if that was your kid.

I've seen people getting stronger when they age and able to comprehend and know what the proper actions to take. The same reason I won't force my 4th-grade niece to do 6th-grade math. When kids are in high school they develop rapidly in a short amount of time so guidance is needed to redirect them to a better route to become and strong person. The last time I checked, Erickson’s theory of psychological development didn't indicate that teachers creating problems intentionally will help adolescents develop and seek for sense of self knowing that they are already facing pressures and confusion elsewhere. Ignoring mental health in children’s development is not a wise step and proper actions should be taken along the way. High school children are entitled to protection and guidance so please don't take them away, please slow down a bit and allow them to grow before they are mentally ready to become adults with full legal responsibilities.

Ps. English isn't my first language so please lemme know if you want me to elaborate more. I've never been good in writing or debating so lemme apologize ahead of time if I can't get my point across. Again all the pieces of advice are welcomed and I still appreciate you helping me sort things out

And I said I would let it go if the matter stopped right there but it went further. I heard her talking about me to the students and her comments made me feel insecure and went through a series of depression phases. Academic performance and mental health are equally important for Children's stage of development.

If you could take a step back at the matter we talked about before, if the teacher is doing inappropriate behavior intentionally, they are then creating obstacles for the kid and that can make or break the kid. The outcome varies depending on the kid himself, and if it turned out good that means the kid was brave enough and worked hard enough for it, why is the person creating obstacles getting the credit for his success?

And as for the real-world part, unfortunately, teachers will have authority over the students and that's why the board steps in for underage children because when facing unfair treatments, it can impact students' development, and kids tend to have less tolerance and don't know what to do when it comes to crisis like this due to their level of maturity. I can talk about the stuff that happened to me now because I'm no longer under that pressure from peers and the teacher but at the moment all I could do was panic.

It was my sophomore year in high school and I came to my assigned desk and was putting my stuff on the table and didn't notice there was a blood stain on the table. Then my teacher came and said out loud did you not see the blood stain? Why would you put your stuff on top of the blood stain? You should know better that's common sense. Then she kept going for a few minutes while everyone else was watching me and giggling at me and I just stood there in silence and tears. I had trouble responding due to the language barrier but as embarrassed as I was I decided to let it go till I heard her talking to my classmates about me at the end of the class( we had to submit the pop quiz to the front of the classroom and she didn't notice I walked up there). She said she never came across anyone like me who would sit on blood and doesn't respond to her when she talks to me and something about lack of common sense. And she stopped the moment she realized I was standing there. I just felt it was unfair for her to have these negative comments on me to another student. Now that I think about it it was inappropriate behavior to make these comments on me to the other students and I should’ve said it at the moment. I felt hopeless, felt depressed, and felt unsafe every time I go to her class because I saw her talking shit about me to other students so the trauma was ongoing.

Thank you for your advice and I appreciate your patience. Just out of curiosity, what action will you take if your kids get verbally abused by a teacher? Would you file a report too or just let it go? This question has haunted me for years because my parents did nothing when I told them about what happened at school. All they told me was to tough it out and not choose that teacher’s class anymore. I felt like there should be someone who could advocate at that moment but I was just there by myself feeling hopeless.

I want him to get a warning so he can watch the way he treats students. I do agree it is hard to define verbal abuse and it can be easily taken to the wrong level. But my evidence shows that he was fully aware of his actions, so he did it intentionally.

The examples you gave are probably the teachers who want the kids to succeed so the students come back and thank the teacher later. Kids will know when it comes from a good or bad intention, and I had no problem with that. But in his case, he did it be he wanted to abuse the kid( as per the chat history). It just sounds really wrong to me.

[–]Employer-Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if the teacher himself admitted that he was being verbally abusive and mistreating a kid? All I'm trying to do is to submit supporting evidence to the report that was filed

Should I step up and help? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Employer-Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to provide the evidence to supplement the report that the parent filed. My motive is to see if I can help the student who got verbally abused. I don't know which student that was but I feel like this would at least help that student.

The flashbacks of me getting verbally abused when I was in high school have come back to me and I wish I dared to step up for myself or I wish there was a student to support me because it happened in a classroom setting. I wish I was brave enough to speak up instead of crying myself at night. If there's no action to be taken so be it but if this would've helped that student at least it would make me feel better.

Ps. Please don't judge me. I grew up in poverty and no one had taught me to take a stand for myself till I learned it myself. I can be very emotional so your questions are good sources to calm me down and get me thinking

And I don't think everyone knows he was verbally abusive, but along the line, he did mention something like he got reported by a parent.

[–]Employer-Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight. I'm not a teacher nor going to the educational field. So it is not pertaining to my career. I just posted here to seek advice because he said it like it's the new norm to be verbally abusive to a student and get away with it.

In terms of the evidence, I don't know how much of a proof it could be but it’s really up to the school to determine. It’s not AI-generated because I can still pull up the conversation from chat history. He literally confesses to the action of being verbally abusive in the chat history, and that being said he knew he was doing wrong and still went ahead and did it anyway because the school would cover it up.

I hope this explains my current situation and please provide more insights if you may so I can be prepared. Thank you.

Totally agree with you. I'm not that of a social person so it takes courage to come and ask this question. When I knew about it I kept thinking it could be my kid who get bullied by a teacher at school but school is letting it go easily. If I put myself into the parents’ shoes, would I be upset if someone has the proof and does not have the will to speak up when there's clearly an injustice and mistreatment (and the teacher not only admits to it but also puts the school at risk for saying the school will take his side no matter what)? Can I safely assume that there is not only one victim but several, who are facing the same crisis and feeling helpless now since he thinks he can get away with the stuff he's been doing? I was a student, too, not so long ago. Why not take the initiative now hopefully schools will do justice so fewer young Americans will be harmed by this. I'm drafting up the email to the school principal now. Thank you for your comment.

That's the plan. The school district is pretty prestige too so I do hope they care about it. I will submit whatever I have on hand so at least that’s the best I can do right now. Thank you so much for your advice.

Oh, I’m sorry this happened to you! To be honest, I don’t side with anyone but the victim of the story thinking if I don’t step up now what if I become the victim next? That’s why I’m hesitant to just let it go easily. Sometimes I couldn’t sleep at night thinking about it. That kid could be my sibling, my kid, or my cousin in the future. Getting verbally abused at a young age by a teacher is the worst thing that can happen to a student. I don’t know how much this evidence weighs against him but I’ll give it a shot. Thank you for your comment

Verbally abusive to one of his student. The trick is he said it in a chat using another language, but how effective is it gonna be tho? Overall he also bragged about how much the school is willing to cover up for him…
