frustrated

Has this girl passed her written exams and clinicals? if so, than I don't think that there is a strong enough reason to report her--- although it is an issue of said person's integrity---it is not an issue of incompetence.

You're frustrated because she has skipped classes and want to report her (and hopefully get her kicked out) when she's at the end of the program...

I agree with the above poster.

I think you should definitely go talk to someone about this. It's not acceptable behavior in our profession. This display of her integrity could really cost someone their life in the long run.

Are they missing clinical or lecture?

My opinion is that lecture should be optional because most adult students learn quicker via self-paced exercises. In a lot of professional schools over 50% of the student body does not attend lecture because it is a less efficient use of time than self study.

Clinical on the other hand should definitely be mandatory although I don't see how you could miss more than 3 days and not fail.

Regardless, having someone else sign you in is very sketchy.

I agree with you! Personally, I hate going to lecture and find it to be a huge waste of 2 full days a week. I hate the fact that attendance is mandatory in almost all of my classes!!

I would report her. Just inform your professor or the faculty that through word of mouth this has been brought to your attention and due to the consequences that may ensue from not only this attitude but from missing important educational aspects of the curriculum you'd feel comfortable knowing it was brought to the attention of the faculty.

What if she denies it?

It's a simple matter of checking the signatures

To the OP: How big are your classes that the Prof's don't notice who's missing?

No, I don't think you should report it because you are frustrated. She is the one who has a bad work ethic and bad morals. Someday, it will come back and bite her in the butt. But I don't think it is your place to tattle on her necessarily just because it bugs you. It would frustrate me too, but just be the bigger person. Forget about her, do the right thing yourself, and that's the end of it.

Stay out of it.. mind your own business. Her success/or lack there of has absolutely nothing to do with you. It will catch up to her one day, but for now, it is not your place to be getting involved.

Mind your own business. Lectures usually ARE a waste of time (at least at my school) where they repeat the book word for word or just read a stupid power point slide to me that is available for me to read to myself... I don't think it's that big of a deal- esp to say she has bad morals... if she's passing her tests and doing well in clinical then that's her prerogative. That sucks that other students have failed due to an ATTENDENCE POLICY, at a school in which they pay tuition to attend...maybe they should have made more friends at school willing to sign them in. It's not like she's cheating on exams or course material. Nobody likes a tattle tale.
