Any luck with Michael Linares SimpleNursing

Published

Hello I am a going to school to become a RN and was wanting to know has anybody had any luck with Michael Linares SimpleNursing program not the NCLEX75 but the monthly course for $40.00....I just want to purchase something that will help me better understand content. Please somebody say something good about his course because I really can't affort to pay for the Hurst program for $300 although I believe that would be a better course for me to purchase.

And that is my point. It just seems so minor. Removing your post might have been petty but, I totally get it. I wouldn't want you posting complaints on my Facebook group either.

It just seems unfortunate. The service works great. All you'd have to do is switch browsers until the kinks are worked out in 2015. Why deny yourself the help over something so small? I'm not going to try to convince you to subscribe again. Anyway, hope everything works out.

I must have missed that one. How can they do they with copyrighted material? What stage are you in your nursing program?

They shouldn't be pasting links to illegally obtained copyrighted material. FB has removed such material based upon the reports of others or the publisher. Especially since most are posting with their real name, it's not worth the fines if a publisher chooses to file a copyright claim. It's against international copyright law. That would be just one more reason to not pay for such a service that is selective in what is shared yet pays others to post positively and refer back to the site

It's not illegal to share books they've purchased.

And that wouldn't have anything to to with simplenursing.com anyway. In fact, that might hurt his business.

I'm not sure. It looks pretty legit. It doesn't look stolen.

Also, I'm currently in the 2nd quarter of an 18month program. I'm taking Pharm. and psych this quarter. Mike linares has helped me tremendously with Pharm. I honestly don't care what people say about his site. It WORKS!

Well, the best of luck to you. As we all know, there's more than one way to study and get help. You sound very intelligent and I'm pretty sure you'll find another way.

Best wishes!

Yes it is. You purchase the rights as a single user not a multiuser license to share without express permission of the publisher/author/copyright owner.

Ok well, I guess they commit a horrible crime. (Shrugs)

Any crime that caries a $750-$250,000 fine should be considered a serious crime.

"In addition, penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.

Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense."

I'm not arguing with you. I don't know who posted it and I didn't get to copy it so, I'm out. Not something I'd do. I wouldn't be giving away that kind of money to strangers.
