Apprentice Healer Schedule (General)
Apprentices have classes on every day except restdays and Threadfall days. On Threadfall days, those apprentices old enough will take their turns on flamethrower crews as assigned by the Apprentice Master to suit the Lord Holder's needs. The remainder of the day is free time once released by the Apprentice Master. Restdays can be spent as wished by an apprentice, so long as meal times are kept in mind. The kitchens are not required to provide meals to apprentices outside of normal meal times unless duty or an emergency required them to miss a meal.
All apprentices must be awake and present at breakfast by morning candlemark 6 on days they have classes. Any latecomers will draw extra chore duties as assigned by the Apprentice Master or their dorm journeyman. A candlemark is allowed for the mealtime, then all apprentices must report to the Journeyman in charge of their morning chore group for that sevenday for the morning's assignment. One candlemark (7-8) is allotted for chores, but apprentices who finish early may use the extra time as free time or to study.
Junior apprentices spend the morning candlemarks (8-12) in classes for general healing techniques and studies. After a candlemark for noonmeal, they meet again for classes from candlemarks 13-17. Afternoon classes will specialize from sevenday to sevenday, covering the groundwork for the various specialties within healercraft.
Senior apprentices spend the morning candlemarks (8-12) in specialized classes designed to help them clarify their skills and decide upon a specialty once they walk the tables to journeyman. After a candlemark for noonmeal, they report for two candlemarks of Infirmary duty (candlemarks 13-15). While on Infirmary duty, a senior apprentice is expected to follow the directives of the journeyman on duty. Duties may include assisting with patients, changing bed linens, restocking supplies, cutting and rolling bandages, sterilizing equipment, assisting with herbal preparation, and any other duty deemed suitable by the journeyman in charge. From candlemarks 15-17, senior apprentices are allotted study time, which is to be used to advance their craft. The more inexperienced senior apprentices will be assigned projects to complete during this time, but any senior may choose his own projects once the Apprentice Master deems him ready to do so.
All apprentices are allowed a candlemark of free time (candlemarks 17-18) between afternoon duties/classes and the evening meal. This time can be spent however the apprentice chooses. The evening meal is served from candlemarks 18-19, and afterwards all apprentices must report for evening chores. One candlemark (19-20) is allotted for chores, but apprentices who finish early may use the extra time as free time or to study. From candlemark 20-21, apprentices are allowed study or free time, depending on their current performance in classes. All apprentices must be in bed at candlemark 21, and any apprentice not in his dormitory after that time will face punishment by the Apprentice Master.
