Abstract
Many health care professionals are concerned that, at a time of increased patient acuity, \nfew registered nurses are opting for mental health nursing as a career choice. Since \nstudent nurses' undergraduate experiences -- and their perceptions of these experiences -- \nmay well contribute to the problem, it is essential that we make every effort to welcome \nstudents to mental health wards. We use the voice of [Simone], a second year student, to \nillustrate how one nurse can make a very special difference to a student's experience and \nperception of mental health nursing, during her psychiatric mental health practicum. \nIn my second year, after a single class orientation on mental health nursing, I arrived on \nthe first day of my acute hospital psychiatric ward placement feeling completely \nunprepared and overwhelmed. In contrast to traditional psychiatric rotations that focus \nexclusively on mental health, many nursing education programs today offer an integrated \ncurriculum. In addition to attending a clinical placement site two days a week, I was also \nenrolled in required medical-surgical nursing classes and optional university credit \nsubjects. The academic demands on my time away from the unit were stringent and there \nseemed to be few resources that addressed mental health nursing. \nAs their mental health rotation progresses, students see a sophisticated interdisciplinary \nteam co-operating intensely for the welfare of the patient. They come to understand that \nstreet clothes can help break down barriers and that assessing affect is also a critical "vital \nsign." They see how skilled therapeutic use of self and suicide assessments are very \nserious matters that could mean the difference between a patient's tentative first steps \ntoward insightful mental health or a debilitating, even fatal, outcome. By the end of their \nclinical placement, students' language often includes a lexicon of new terms drawn from \nthe fields of medicine and counselling, as well as nursing. Their days become so full that \nthey struggle to find time to chart. Invariably, they leave their psychiatric mental health \npracticum with a deep respect for their patients and powerful new insights into the \npersistent stigma and marginalization associated with mental illness.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
