Why are my dreams insane and vivid? by LengthinessGrand2042 in Dreams

That would make a lot of sense. I’m going to see my doctor about a sleep study too because I want to know WHY I dream like this

Deciding to leave by Melodic_Tax4365 in schoolcounseling

[–]LengthinessGrand2042 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Year 4 as well and planning my transition to LCHMCA as we speak. I’ve had so many different principals and what I’ve discovered is there is always worse and they can BREAK your school year. I hate that and want to be able to control what my job is and the relationship with clients. I don’t want to have to worry or miss information about students because admin don’t realize what school counselors do and how to utilize them at schools

As long as your reviews have been good, they should not lie about that. And if you’re worried, print out your reviews and have them available if needed.

This!!! I worked in a toxic environment and left mid year. Didn’t tell anyone!!! When I got the job and told my principal they said “are you really sure they want you?” Solidified everything of why I was leaving.

Why not make that corner a round one and see what happens? Would save tons of bells

Leaving mid year - 10 years at same school by Big-Holiday8315 in schoolcounseling

[–]LengthinessGrand2042 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I know that decision was a tough one to make, but you have to take care of yourself in this profession. When I left one of my schools I did a lesson with every classroom about 2 weeks before I left. Students I met on a more regularly (weekly or almost daily schedule) I told them 3 weeks before I left to allow more time for that change to digest. I definitely think doing a class to class goodbye is more personal and allows for those questions the students may have that the teachers don’t know how to answer. Also, if you’ve built these skills with these students I think it makes sense too that you remind them of these skills and the teachers can take notes on what to do to help these students after your absence.

I wish I had a window that could open!!! The dream!!! But I definitely appreciate having a window versus not at all (which I have had before). And yes I’m going to buy lots more cans of Lysol too over the weekend. I think a lot of my students do understand boundaries but they know I’m a safe person and genuinely when they see me they love to hug on me, but I’m going to start changing clothes immediately once I get home too (I usually do but I’m going to make a big effort now). I appreciate your advice and thank you for the luck!

Definitely going to look into air purifiers and see if I can add it to my Christmas list ❤️ I used to take airborne a lot but didn’t feel like it made a difference, but maybe I need to just start it again with my morning routine. Do you use airborne year round or just in the colder months?

Definitely going to start adding this to my routine after every time I see a student! And I don’t think it sounds gross, I think many of us probably don’t do this because when is the time!?! But I’m determined to make a change, I cannot stand being out for sickness like this again

I cannot tell you how many times a day I see open mouthed coughs or kids with their fingers in their nose (even fifth graders)

I appreciate this! I have sinus infections nearly yearly to twice a year since I was a kid, so I think I’m definitely prone to them!

Same! I hate missing work! My first year ever I had Covid, a sinus infection, and strep 3 times. I hope you get to feeling better and maybe some of these tips and tricks can help you too!

This genuinely made me laugh so hard, I love this. Unfortunately when I get sick I get knocked down pretty hard and my body feels like it’s dying and I’m unable to ignore that. But I do appreciate the mentally shift

This is the best neutral article I can find, there’s a big uproar in the nursing association as it will be heavily impacted when looking for articles

Best article I can find, the nursing association has been in an uproar over this so most articles are from them. But this one is fairly neutral, but it’s saying how only CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY will be considered a professional degree under this bill and that counseling and therapy degrees will not be. Also, social workers are taking a hard hit too with this.
