I re-read your Fellow Honest study, and one thing to mention is that Riddle is immensely proud of having no one drop out or transfer out of Heartslabyul/NRC, right? His dorm is the only one at full capacity? This means dropping out of NRC isn't that uncommon, whether it's a money issue or a grades issue, and that's more people discarded simply because they couldn't keep up.

[Referencing this analysis!]

Mmm, that's true 🤔 I wonder how NRC's dropout rates compare to those of other magic schools and regular schools that do not train mages... I can't imagine that NRC has a ton of dropouts though, because otherwise I feel like more dorm leaders and staff would express concern about it? Like if a ton of students were dropping out, it would reflect poorly on their leadership and teaching skills, wouldn't it...? Maybe it's not mentioned because it isn't that relevant to the main story or Riddle in particular is super fixated on it (given how strict he is). At the very least, we know that NRC has a non-zero dropout rate. Even at a school that supposedly has the best and brightest mages-in-training, some will not make the cut.

As cruel as this may sound (sorry, Fellow), it's 100% understandable from a school's perspective why they wouldn't want to keep supporting students who continuously do not succeed and ultimately dismiss them. Many programs irl (especially those in higher education) set standards that students must meet and maintain until graduation if they want to remain in their program. It could harm the school's educational reputation if they do not produce "results".

In some cases, schools that fail to maintain a certain "pass" rate on specialized exams their students take may lose accreditation (an official “quality seal”) for their program(s). For example, irl nursing programs in the U.S. and Canada are put on probation if they have a class of students with an 80% or lower passing score on the NCLEX exam. They are given 2 years to "fix" this low passing rate; if this is not corrected, then the school's accreditation is revoked completely. A loss of accreditation can result in many other negatives, such as less financial aid dispersement and fewer job opportunities (/your diploma not being seen as “legitimate”).

That's unfortunately how it works. Granted, a school shouldn’t spite a student for not being able to keep up with the workload (which sadly may have been the reality for Fellow), but it really is in the institutions’ best interests to drop a student they fear won’t perform well.

[kweza]

i’m a pre-nursing student! any advice? :)

sorry for the late reply! i don't know what a pre-nursing program entails exactly but here's some general advice for nursing school:

1. keep a detailed calendar. there's going to be 1001 different things due so it's very easy to lose track of things. time management will save your mental health.

2. make some nursing friends in the first semester. it's good to have a little group to study with/vent.

3. you're probably going to fail a couple of exams. it's not the end of the world and that doesn't mean nursing is not for you.

4. if possible, maybe shadow a nurse? working as a nurse and being in nursing school is two completely different things so having some experience in the field beforehand is great.

5. whenever you can during nursing school, become a CNA (certified nursing assistant) if possible. the experience makes all the difference when you finish nursing school and it's easier to integrate the workplace.

6. use all any extra lab time you can get to practice skills because you might not be able to once you start clinical rotations at the hospital.

7. BUY SECONDHAND BOOKS! (your bank account will be grateful).

8. be prepared for tricky exam questions and lots of critical thinking exercices. it's okay to suck at them, i had the worst time with the multiple-choice quizzes. practice exams online are a great way to study. registerednurseRN on youtube is also a good resource to use.

9. nursing school is basically there to prep you to think like a nurse but not so much work as one. having a hard time at school ≠ being a bad nurse. all of it is really just prep work for the NCLEX. i found that working as a nurse is actually easier than being a student so there is light at the end of tunnel lol.

10. take some breaks often. nursing is a really demanding program to be in and you should take care of yourself as much as you can throughout (or else how could you fully take care of others 😊)

[bloodglucose]

so the tags on the last post brings up some very valid concerns about the state of healthcare workers but like. as a healthcare worker myself i wanna share my experiences in medschool.

the program i graduated in, graded purely only on test scores. any assignments they gave us usually was just some extra credit points on our next exam, or sometimes the assignment (if given remotely) only counted towards attendance. it didn’t affect your grade. and like tbh im not really sure how exactly ChatGPT is going to help you out on these exams, especially the NCLEX.

the NCLEX is an exam given to nursing graduates to test their clinical judgment, honestly i would say it tests how much of a safe nurse you would be. it gives you a lot of case studies and scenarios that you need to learn how to analyze, and know what your next move is.

plus AI could NEVER replace clinical hours. on rare occasions did they give us some remote learning clinical program, that gave a simulation with a patient scenario and it graded you based on the actions you did. and no that didnt even count into our clinical hours lol. we went to various long term care facilities, hospitals, and family clinics in order to practice procedures (with the assistance of an instructor ofc)

so uhh TLDR someone using ChatGPT in medschool likely will not get very far into their program when at the end of the day we are tested on our clinical judgement, that AI could never replace.

[skyllion-uwu]

obviously im biased but i think if your hearts really set on it or even just considering it you could enroll at your community colleges associates program for nursing ^_^ im not sure how competitive they are right now because im going for a bachelors and not an associates but i can say from my firsthand college admission experience is that once you get in you reallt have to rush to put down that deposit fee so you don’t lose your spot . though i don’t want to sugarcoat and say it’ll be easy because it’s not it’s really hard and i can only imagine condensing four years worth of material into a two year program can be even harder ( nursing school acts as a functional way to prepare you for the NCLEX btw . you get your actual experience on the floors when you have a job and during clinical rounds . ) if you want a little slither of a taste of notes these were my cardiovascular notes

though im also really bad at keeping things concise so this one is probably a me issue . i do understand how the heart beats now though

Yeah the thing that stops me in addition to "gets squirmy around injuries" is "it's hard". There's a lot of things I've wanted to do in life, like I've joked before that if I was in a cartoon I would be a journalist by now because in 10th grade my english teacher was begging me to join newspaper club, took a career class and interviewed a local newspaper journalist for it and felt at home in the building, have had multiple community college professors encourage me to continue on as a journalist at the nearby [big university in Washington State] campus, that sort of thing where it looks like the dominoes are lining up. Or ever since I was a kid I've wanted to be a librarian but that requires a Master's. Or be a clown or actor but that's such a narrow field AND the social anxiety outweighs it now. Or zoologist/marine biologist/some guy studying animals but again, bigger degree. OH I forgot about psychologist when I was younger too. But yeah it's like so much time needs to go into these (okay maybe not clown) to the point I'm like "why should I try when I keep changing my mind" so I stick with my basic entry level manual labor job and hope by some miracle i save enough money to be able to live off savings with my besties in a house together

This comprehensive guide will help you to accelerate your nursing career

As a result of modern healthcare requirements, the nursing field is evolving rapidly. As healthcare needs increase, more Licensed Practical Nurses wish to become Registered Nurses. The 6 month lpn to rn program. This concise but detailed guide will show LPNs how to make a career change.

To prepare students to become multifaceted RNs, the program emphasizes evidence-based nursing practice, patient management skills, nursing management and leadership.

There are prerequisites for the LPN-toRN expedited curriculum. A valid LPN licence and some work experience are required by most schools. It is necessary to pass microbiology, anatomy and physiology with at least a B-grade. LPNs need to confirm the school requirements.

IV nurses are responsible for administering medications, fluids, and blood products through intravenous lines, ensuring patients receive the care they need efficiently and safely. 

Get to Know the Role of an IV Nurse

Before diving into the career path, it’s essential to understand what IV nursing entails. IV nurses are experts in vascular access and intravenous therapy. They often work in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and even in home healthcare settings. Their duties include:

Inserting IV lines and maintaining them.

Administering medications and fluids intravenously.
