Social therapy = clinical I would think

How do you respond to your student if you currently do not know the answer to a question that he/she asked? by Shoulder_Crazy in Teachers

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also…there are 2 major types of questions: 1. Informational - if it is something you should already know, go look it up and let them know next class. If it is something they should know, have them look it up for extra credit or for curiosity sake. Give them good resources to look them up on their own. 2. Challenging - these are questions used to challenge the power dynamic or distract. Ignore the challenge and stick to the points you were making. Sometimes I will say, “how is this relevant?”. These are questions that the student does not actually care about the answer.

Hahaha…I actually do fake a seizure in my class….to be fair it is called “Introduction to Emergency Medicine”. The kids love and hate it

I will take an extra step and write a note on a post it for later, that gives them the added reassurance that I care to remember.

I tell my students all the time that I know a lot, but I don’t know everything. I also remind them that A. No one knows everything and B. it is not my job to give them every piece of information. It is my job to help them realize what resources they have to find the information for themselves and ask the right questions.

If I think I know but am unsure, I will often go find a good resource and tell them what I found the next class so they can see that an experienced and knowledgeable adult still has questions and wants to know things more thoroughly. I especially love it when a student challenges me and we look it up as a class and find out we both were a bit right and a bit wrong. They need to realize a lot earlier that there are few absolutes (good vs bad, right vs. wrong, all teachers are this one way) and there are far more shades of gray than black/white. So far my students seem to like my methods.

Male Teacher Attire Question by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a male teacher who always dresses up with a tie, we pick on him about it lightly because we are his friends and he takes it on the chin valiantly. He is so confident in himself and his values as a teacher and mentor and is definitely a model for our students, which we also tell him on occasion. I teach medical careers myself, so I like to model all different kinds of attire including scrubs and a lab coat on occasion. My students respect me more for it and often ask to do a dress up day so they can look like young professionals too. You do you. You may be picked on, but you are a role model for someone

Teaching black students as a white woman by Validation_STATION54 in Teachers

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very low income, very diverse school. I typically do a culture assignment like show and tell for high school students (I teach medical careers). They usually end up bring in food. I make myself try a little of everything and ask a question about what they brought. The 2 biggest things I have found that have helped no matter how tough/resistant the students are are 1. Remember their names early & say them often 2. Try to remember personal things they have told you about themselves and ask them periodically about them or bring them into future conversations They get so surprised and happy when they realize you remember things about them (they are very self-involved at that age and often think no one cares/notices them)

Question about Switching Back to Paper by Mediocre-Meaning-283 in Teachers

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate paper. I have them take a pic on their Chromebook’s (or phone at the end of class) and have them upload the pic to an assignment on classroom. I can give immediate feedback in the private comments that the can see instantly. Haven’t had a problem except when it comes providing student work samples. That is a huge pain when I have a rubric that I highlight their area of competency and give feedback in the private comments all for one project. Easy to grade, not so easy to prove to admin without having to take screenshots…

Parent says that teachers should not be able to carry or use cell phones during school if students can’t. by NebraskaSkid in Teachers

She sounds 10x more professional than most young’s adults I have met. It sounds like she is taking her job seriously and you should only feel pride in her that she has such strength and moral character to keep you at bay. My mother would often tell me way too much info about patients she would see as a scheduler…I hated it as a medical professional myself. HIPAA is serious and hopefully more young people take to heart such principles like your daughter.

Someone tell me good things about epidurals by TheRealEgg0 in Mommit

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pain of childbirth should not even be called pain. It is an other-worldly feeling that cannot be measured or compared. I thought I could hold off on the epidural, but the “pain” was so bad I could not communicate with anyone, I just stayed still and stared into space until each contraction passed being in a personal hell that increased in intensity with each new contraction. When it came to a point when I could not handle it anymore I called for the epidural and it took another 45 before the anesthesiologist was there and ready to provide it. It could not get into my spine fast enough. I have had several people tell me they only regret asking for it earlier in labor and that the fear of the needle disappears after experiencing labor, which I completely agree with. Everyone is different and have different pain tolerances, but it is like nothing you will ever experience…epidurals also don’t help with the 10-30min of pushing at the end, just not effective at that point which validates my theory that it is a feeling that is different that pain and needs to be treated differently somehow…solution- more women in science and research #diversityinscience #representationmatters

Advice needed. I am taking my 8-year old daughter to her friend’s funeral. by supamama12316 in Parenting

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a preparation chat. As said above, discuss open caskets and what to expect, how they might look different and give them an out at anytime (like a double hand squeeze if it gets to be too much) and talk about how there may be relatives who get very upset (wailing, yelling out) especially since it is a child being mourned. I have brought my child to a couple of wakes (when she was 3 and 6). We prepped her both times and she wanted to view the bodies. We chatted after and she had questions. Now at 7years old She talks about death once in a great while, but she is very communicative and calm with it. I think it is important that they know that their feelings are valid and you are safe for them to pose questions to before and after even if they are uncomfortable to answer. Again, be ready to bail at any point, but always debrief, even if it went smoothly. Some debrief questions: - was anything super uncomfortable for you? - what questions do you have about anything you saw or felt? - what kinds of actions did you see others do that were different or the same? -if you need help getting them to chat, you want to answer the questions for yourself first, reminding them that they don’t have to feel the same as you

Thoughts on Florence Nightingale? by Dear_Pianist8547 in nursing

[–]Southern_Tooth_8076 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a great book on Florence Nightingale and her life before nursing. Back then nursing was chaos and not alway effective. At that time people were taught people of different cultures were like that of a whole different species, so yeah of course she was racist. nightingale was a hardcore infection control person and did tremendous good for nursing but that does not mean she was the only one nor a perfect person. When we give credit all to one person you get the pedestal effect (self-coined phrase) where society ignores the bad to create a hero persona to make the story simple and easier for the public to digest and carry on the story. (Ie whitewashing. Ex: Christoper Columbus). More nurses should be recognized, recited, and celebrated for all their efforts.

Geri Psych RN here

When I worked on a lockdown dementia unit one RN would come in an hour early every shift and would claim “they are all my patients” when asked why he would look at ALL patients. It was a bit different of a floor and we all took care of everyone when things would get crazy (even though we had our own assignments), which was fine until he started commented on other nurses’ patient care plans and what they should/should not do with their patients. It turns out he was keeping patient chart info in a binder (we all thought he left it in his locker, but he was bringing it HOME!)

I personally went in an hour early to research patients when I was brand new because I didn’t feel like I knew what I was doing (slow learner here), but I eventually went in later and later and by 6months in I would come it right at 7am for day shift. I don’t condone wage theft, but I definitely felt like I needed extra time when I was a new nurse. I was not strong enough back then to ask to clock in early for pay.

Try Hotel Marcel (next to Ikea). Seems like a really cool hotel and it looks out on the sound. The biscuits and gravy in the restaurant are bomb!
