'''Finding.''' The Group K schedule used 9-hour shifts (2 p.m. to 11 p.m.), and Student A calculated that this did not give her the 108 hours needed for Clinical 2. Separately, she was told 24 incomplete hours from Clinical 1 (NSG 522) would be added onto her Clinical 2 schedule with an August 26, 2026 deadline, with ongoing confusion about where those hours would be completed.

'''Evidence.''' Student A's emails, May 5 to 12, 2026: the Wednesday 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. 9-hour shifts do not give her enough hours (108 needed for Clinical 2), and she was told the 24 incomplete Clinical 1 hours would be added onto Clinical 2; the corrected Group H rotation was described as twelve 9-hour shifts totaling 108 hours. Student: Student A ([email redacted]). Source Group: Email chain, May 5 to 12, 2026.

'''Reported statement.'''
<blockquote>Doing the math that does not give me enough hours (108 that I need for Clinical 2).</blockquote>

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 5 requires accurate hours configuration; the carryover of 24 incomplete Clinical 1 hours must be tracked against the August 26, 2026 deadline. The 9-hour shift scheduling and resulting hours math mirror concerns in {{HU|HU-135}}. Lead: {{HU|HU-141}}.

'''Impact.''' Miscalculated shift hours and untracked carryover hours create a risk that Student A does not complete required hours on schedule or is confused about where to complete them.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-141}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06.
