Cheaters come a dime a dozen. It happens everyday, everywhere, it may be happening right under your own nose, whether you like it or not. If she's not caught, and she gets a higher mark than me, it...

Holypeas, please read the entire thread before commenting. The woman asked me for my work, I DID NOT GIVE IT TO HER. She asked around and got someone to DO HER CARE PLAN FOR HER. So no, I don't have...

Honestly, I have no desire to get involved. The other student doing the care plan is also a grown woman, who can make her own decisions. If she wants to do the care plan for her, let her be. I have...

Hi, OP here. Just an update: today was the first day I've seen the woman, she said hello but did not ask me for anything. I found out later that she has someone in our group DOING HER CAREPLAN FOR...

it's so sad that these people are judging you and they are going into a profession where each patient should be treated EQUALLY and should be given quality care, no matter what race, gender or sexual...

Hi everyone, I've just been accepted to an ADN Program, and I have the option of taking Dosage Calculations through an Online Course for school rather than traditional classroom. Would anyone...

I will definitely keep you in my prayers, glad to hear you are feeling better. Your post doesn't make me feel as bad for myself now, nobody has ever asked me to pass meds I didn't pull or any...
