Unrealistic shit. MC is clumsy as hell, reacts to stuff too cartoonishly, doesn't know what a leg feels and weighs like? How did she pass nursing school?

 

[darkmaster006]

Do people really think like that? I don't believe it. If that's her dream, hell, she's got some problems. Or rather, the author. At least the other adult woman is pretty cool and hits her with reality hard. I don't think I'll follow this; if it were handled well, though, it is a nice premise.

This thought process doesn't seem super far-fetched. In Japan at least, where it used be expected for women to stop working once they get married. Many stereotypes persist in fiction even if they're no longer as prevalent in real life.

It seems unwise for a nurse-in-training to make it through all of nursing school without being exposed to some real nasty stuff in clinical internships, but then it's fairly common for teachers to make it all the way to classrooms without anyone, themselves included, realizing they completely suck at teaching and/or running a classroom. It may be dumb, but I don't know enough about the standards of Japanese nursery schooling to say it's unrealistic. The attitude of the senior nurse in this first chapter suggests it's a common occurence for nurses to leave nursing school bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and crash out when reality sets in.

Thanks, really interesting.

She is definitely here for the wrong reasons, hopefully motivation changes as this series progresses

 

[Mendax]

Keep translating please. Great job.

 

[Duralumin]

Translation too over-literal and half of it is still in Japanese. Please think harder before writing things

 

[enigmator]

Hm. As a person in a similar health-related field, I find it hard to believe that she managed to pass nursing school at all with such misconceptions still floating around in her head. Or maybe it's a unique quirk to Japan's medical education system? Who knows....

 

[spytf2]

That's got to be the absolute dumbest reason to work in healthcare I've ever heard.

 

[chusetto]

@spytf2 Saw that a lot in real life, and I'm talking about med school xD

 

[Goldenfist1997]

@enigmator No, it's not a Japanese thing.

 

[OldShadow]

lol ok glad to know i wasnt the only one thinking it was totally bizarre that she managed to get through school without seeing a procedure like this done in her earlier training.

either way, i think im on board for now. seems like it could be fun
