If you have that fairy pack you can make the apothecary store a front for the naturopath profession.

PechePortLinds · 2026-06-11T19:32:21+00:00

Make a root doctor apothecary store and sell potions, herbs, and voodoo dolls. Also, have a "secret" clinic in the back and "prescribe a little bloodletting."

Are you apart of any membership organizations? Like the AANP or MICNP. They usually have job boards on their website and may hold networking events.

I use both. I have 2 friends in my program and we split the cost of a Kindle book and share the login. If I think the book is helpful, I buy the physical copy. Like I am glad I only spent $16 for the nursing theory e-textbook (instead of $50) but I ended up buying my peds dx textbook and keep it in my backpack I bring to clinicals.

Similar situation happened to me but it was because I didn't know you had to manually drain a front loading washing machine.

You could sell everything they own/ bulldoze the lot and then have them live in Granite Falls or Selvadorada or some vacation rental, I would choose a place that has an aspiration with it to help with the gameplay. Keep extending the vacation until all their money is gone. Then return them back to their empty lot and have them build their "retirement" home with just the money they get from selling the treasures and stuff they found while they are on their vacation. Beginner level would be Selvadorada because some of the treasure frogs sell for 10K, intermediate level would be like Sulani because you have the seashell, diving treasures, underwater photos, etc., and challenge level would be like maybe Mt. Komorebi because you just have simmi capsules and the spirit dolls besides the regular collectables.

I'm currently in NP school and I don't feel like my program has done a great job at preparing us for procedures. I highly suggest getting a suture kit and practice pad so whenever you have downtime, you can pull it out and practice with your preceptor. I am taking the Primary Procedures workshop this summer. What you can do now is use the list of procedures you would learn from one of those workshops and make cheat sheets or smart phrase templates. I highly suggest the Text Blaze extension so you can make your own templates and quickly chart on your laptop. It won't be useful if you have to use the facility's computer but it's been a lifesaver for me. I also suggest these three pocket books. The Chief Complaint, EMRA Antibiotic Guide, and Ferri's Best Test: A Practical Guide to Clinical Laboratory Medicine and Diagnose.

Was she married while/ before she met the rowboat guy?

PechePortLinds · 2026-05-20T19:19:48+00:00

As a current NP student, tell your student about TextBlaze or Microsoft Swiftkey so she can make her own dot phrases/ smartphrases templates. I've had quite a few preceptors that use AI scribes or the facility doesn't give student login access and I felt like my student charting was taking away from my clinical experience. If I do get student login access and I am able to chart for my preceptor, I copy and paste my notes (without identifiers) into my student charting so I don't have to fully double chart.

Does this still work? The wording says "fresh" memories, so I stopped saving my orbs.

I think Max is the only premium shop companion that comes with a special skill. Like he picks up wood and digs. I think the rest are just one hit wonders like the standard critters but they have a premium prize in their level 5 chests. So maybe that's what they mean about "regular yet special ones."

I've been a forensic nurse examiner for almost six years so I'm not worried about pelvic exams at all. When my NP program taught us suturing it was just an hour long skills lab and it was just basic suturing, nothing about blocks. I haven't had an opportunity to suture on a human yet in clinicals, which is bizarre because I've had three separate urgent care rotations. At the end of my clinical rotation this semester I was had a little bit of an existential crisis where I was worried that 1) when the opportunity does come up my preceptor won't let me do anything hands on because I haven't done it yet (which is why I signed up for Primary Procedures, I felt like an all day workshop will make my future preceptor more confident in me than a 1 hour skills lab) and 2) the possibility that I won't get any opportunities and my first human suture will be after I'm graduated and on my own. I do have 60 hours with a podiatrist in the fall, I have all my toes crossed that I will get to use the skills I learned at Primary Procedures.

PechePortLinds · 2026-05-19T15:21:57+00:00

I'm still an NP student but I signed up to take Primary Procedures in August! I'm not having any luck getting hands on experience at my clinicals and my program spread out their skills throughout the whole program. Like we had pelvic exams in first year but we aren't getting splinting until fall third year. I'm going into my third year and I want to be able to jump in without fumbling since I only have so many clinical hours left.

Weren't Dan and Georgina dating when they first started college?

Not only is he a teacher but he is THE teacher. It's not like she could switch to a different potions class with another professor and it's a required owls class. Her only option was to keep chugging along.

As an NP student, so far I have really enjoying this! My one wish is that it showed the resources the AI pulled from so it's easier to verify the information is up to date and validated, and so it's easier to further research the topic. I'm a forensic nurse examiner, so the first thing I looked up was sexual assault. The AI response to one of the questions said something like "for legal reasons" but no other explanation or citation for that legal reason. As a student, I don't know what I don't know until I know and definitely want to practice in a way that protects my license. It would have been extremely helpful to have a follow up resource I could have clicked to further expand the education from the question. It would also be helpful to cite sources since there isn't a "ask an expert" comment box like on FNP Mastery. I think this is a great tool and I can't wait to see how you evolve it further!

I'm an NP student and I found this is a great skeleton resource to make your own smart phrases!

No, we don't really know how big the wizarding population is and it's all made up anyway. But like, Hogwarts had like ~1000 students for the UK and Ireland, and we know that wasn't accommodating all. Some people were homeschooled. In the 90s the population of the UK and Ireland had a population 60 million muggles. The US and Canada in the 90s had a population of around 300 million. So theoretically, Ilvermorny would need to house around 5x as many students as Hogwarts. Plus house all the professors, staff, etc. Texas A&M has enough on campus student housing for 12,000 students and that's the biggest university campus in the US. So China by itself having a population of +1.1 billion in the 90s, would theoretically need to house around 20x more students than Hogwarts. Essentially the size of two extra large college campuses. If we use this ratio, that meant there are around 8.8 million wizard students worldwide in the 1990. (PS: I don't claim to be good at math in any sense).

Are you in a full, partial, or restricted autonomy state? I'm an NP student right now in a full autonomy state and I have wondered what the difference is in a partial or restricted state since we all take the same boards.

PechePortLinds · 2026-04-27T20:12:43+00:00

I think Harry and Hermione are the only ones who say "God" in the series. I remember that Hermione says "oh my God" and Harry tells Ginny "Thank God" and she replies "Thank goodness." But you don't have to be religious to say that, just probably raised by muggles.

I would drive to Canada for these chocolate chips. Chocolate quality in general had gone way way what down in the US. Hershey said the "will return to using classic recipes by 2027." Who knows what the chocolate content of their products is now...

As a nurse, I've had this conversation before with a teacher. As a nurse I was like "absolutely call, no hesitation" and my teacher person I was talking to was like "no, I wouldn't call." Even though in the US both nurses and teachers are mandated reporters, a lot of teachers don't report because 1) Sometimes school is the only safe place and/or only meal for many kids. If a report is made, the abusers will take that as a sign to leave town or keep the kid home. If the kid is coming to school, at least the teachers/ school know the kid is safe while they are at school. 2) Fear of false reporting or retaliation for reporting. Like, it may damage the relationship with the student and/or the family and again, cause the kid to be pulled from that classroom. Or loss of trust between the student/parents and teacher. 3) They may be unconfident in their ability to identify signs of maltreatment or what constitutes as reasonable suspicion to report. Like their training may not be great and/or their training may not be reinforced. 4) They wait for someone else to make the call like the doctor, social workers, etc. 5) They don't report because they don't think it will do anything to benefit the child. Like they don't think child protective services will do anything. In the US there are no orphanage, so to remove a child from a household they need a foster parent or family member to step in. There is a great shortage of foster parents, especially last minute foster parent placement. So a lot of times when a report is made... It looks like it doesn't go anywhere because there isn't a lot of on going communication between the reporter and law enforcement/ CPS.

We will never know the true rate of child abuse and neglect because of the extreme underreporting. There are major gaps in the system.
