'''Finding.''' On July 7, 2026, the reporting student proactively notified Herzing's national prelicensure clinical staff that nurses at his clinical site, Ascension Via Christi in Wichita, were engaged in a one day strike, and that contingency replacement staff, unfamiliar with the clinical setting, would likely be filling in. He shared several news links documenting the strike and suggested the university confirm there would be no disruption to that week's clinicals. Dr. Rachel Powell responded the same morning that Herzing's team had already been in contact with the site and that his rotation would not be affected.

'''Evidence.''' Email, the reporting student, July 7, 2026, subject "FLAG FOR YOU ALL," with linked news coverage of the Ascension Via Christi nurse strike. Email, Dr. Rachel Powell, same date: confirmation that the clinical site had already been contacted and that the reporting student's rotation would not be affected. Student: The reporting student. Source Group: Email, the reporting student to Dr. Rachel Powell, the national prelicensure clinical mailbox, cc Troy Frazier and Dr. Raywattie Prashad, subject FLAG FOR YOU ALL, July 7, 2026, and Dr. Powell's same day reply.

'''Reported statement.'''
<blockquote>Our team has already been in contact with the clinical site, and your clinical rotations will not be affected by this ongoing walkout.</blockquote>

'''Notes.''' No further action needed. Logged for completeness only. Cross-reference: general clinical placement communication entries in this tracker, for contrast with instances where advance notice was not given or was not acted upon.
