I am concerned about this issue also. I am currently taking my prereqs for nursing school while i am a practicing lawyer. my brother, who is a doctor, tells me that i am much too sensitive to be a nurse and i'll never be able to handle it when doctors scream at me. I know the profession can be difficult and stressful i have been a practicing attorney and a single parent for the last 11 years. I can certainly deal with someone occassionally blowing off steam in my direction - it happens now all the time - but the way he makes it sound is as though i will be entering a war zone.

I don't have any suggestions as to whether to turn them in - that is your call. But I would like to say that I am so gald i came across this post. the cheating in my classes is so widespread - i am not eaxaggerating when i say half the class, although some more than others - that i was initially flabbergasted and then thought i must have the problem b/c i refuse to cheat or help others do so. i am glad to see that others find this behavior unacceptable. i graduated from law school several years back and i never encountered anyone cheating.

Thanks everyone. That was helpful. It sounds like some state boards, depending on the state, will ask you directly if you have been treated for d and a but within a limited time frame. I think he will be relieved.

a friend of mine in taking nursing school prereqs. asked me to post this query. he currently has several years clean and sober but has been through two or three rehabs. when he was young. No drug or alcohol related convictions. Will this be an issue when applying to nursing school or for his nursing license? I would assume this stuff is HIPAA protected info. and therefore is not even asked about but he wanted to ask people who have been thru the process. Thanks for any help you can provide.

[i've got people in my A&P that cheat too. In fact, practically the entire class openly cheats b/c the prof. leaves the room. they justify it by saying that the prof. makes the class too hard and wants us to cheat. i know how you feel - it's annoying b/c i bust my butt for the grades - honestly, though, overall i think people that cheat don't do well as a rule overall. it will catch up with them eventually - maybe not this class - but someday.
