I second that! Thank you so very much for posting this link :yeah:

I'm currently at Bohecker also, I would like to know more about RIO Grand. I went to the website and there was limited info on the online program, could you tell me more it would be about a 2 1/2 hour drive from my house to there campus but if most of it is online it might be worth it to me. Thanks for your post and help Brie

I'm confused..... what is the diffeance between nursing school and English, history etc. As Nurses would it be ethical to look away if no one got hurt except for the nurse.........after dealing with this I don't think I could agree.

thank you for all of your reples, I can see that is is a conflict for most as it is for me. I thought maybe I was just being super sensitive or a "big baby" for feeling upset and uneasy about the whole thing. The student I'm talking about has a BA(in another subject) already just needs the nursing part as she wants to get a masters in Nursing to be a NP. we are not just in the first quarter nearing the end of the program and yes she is at clinicals 2-3 times a week passing meds, wound care, patient care, Etc. SO I'm concerned. What if she can just bearly make it. Passing the NCLEX with no points to spare is still passing right? So no she might not be able to cheat on it but she just might have learned enough to get by. BTW she told me she changed the answers also as she saw that I noticed, I just walked away from her, didn't want to discuss it. I'm going to call the instructor and talk to her wish me luck that it doesn't bite me in the butt. Thank you again for all of your replies. I'm also interested in the fine line another poster mentioned would love to hear any addional thoughts on that.

Am I unethical if I let it go.........

self grading;students checking own papers - the insnstructor reads the answers out loud and we mark the wrong answers/checking grading the papers together as a class sorry I should have been more clear

I need guidance, I saw one of my classmates cheating on our mid-term pharm test. We self grade so she changed about 12 answers to get a passing grade. NOT only did I see her but in the hall after grading she told me she had to change them just to barely pass. I got an 83% and passing is 78% so sure I wanted a better grade to but would never have changed my answers. Ethicly I think I know what to do, I just don't want to be a tattle tail and she knows I know so there is my catch 22 . I guess what I'm asking is what would you do?

If you are a self study type of person who will use the classroom just for renforcement I think you will love Galen. If you are already an LPN they will cater to you. IF you need to be tought the material you my have a little trouble. It is a very quick paced program. I went to Galen in Cincinnati. I chose to move to another program that is an LPN then Bridge to ASN. As I felt I wasn't getting the materal presented to me in the maner in which I learn best. There are a few other issues that I had with policys and how they were inforced. I beleive It has the potenial to be a great progam. They are having growing pains though. I just couldn't risk being a part of them working out all the bugs. I wish you pleanty of luck whereever you chose to go. Any program will be intense and fast paced for the most part.

Yes, I'm in the day-classes at Bohecker in Cincinnati. I recieved my letter yesterday. Feel free to sent me a personal message if you want to. Brie

well I had to same experiance that big cat had but only at Galen in Cincinnati. There were promises of all kinds of assitance etc. but once inrolled and they had your money all they would say is this is and advanced program and you should be studing on your own. It happens at more schools than we would like to think. IMHO! I'm going to try Bohecker (Rets) in cincinnati.

I'm going to the day classes. Hoping to not have to work until I finnish school. It all depends on my husbands business, if it continues to be busy or not.

just think about where the advice was coming from, was the adivce coming from a person happy with their career/job? sometimes its in the eyes of the beholder. Just because it is bad for them means nothing for your son. I wish him all the luck he may or may not need.

I'm not the original post author but I would like to know anything you can tell me. Thanks

I have just withdrawn from a nursiung school and have completed most of the admissions for Bohecker in Cincinnati, I plan on starting in April. The other school I went to took about 6,500 of my money. the last straw was when the A & P Instructor was allowing people to cheat on the the muscles exam and when I complained about it I was treated like I did something wrong. I'm really hoping this is the right choice also, afriad of losing mony and time again. Good luck to you :)

I'm not a smoker, a child of a smoker, Grandchild of a smoker ect. My whole family smokes. I was always sick as a child, sometimes on 5 or 6 meds at a time due to asthma, allergies ect. If I wasn't old enough to buy the "smokes" then why was I old enough to be smoking? (secondhand starting before birth). No it isn't child abuse, I guess. But if it is illegal for the children to buy cigarettes then maybe it should be illeagal for them to consume(breath the smoke). It is illegal for persons under the age of 21 to buy or consume alcohol. Don't judge the smoker, try to be suportive of them, as it is a very hard addiction to break. I've watched my grandmother breakdown crying trying to wait to smoke while around me and my children as she didn't want to have to sneak away to smoke, as she knows how much I dissaprove of smoking, and she was trying to quit and wanted me to be proud of her. She is almost 80 I'm proud of her for not smoking around my kids, in the house, in the car or any other inclosed space. Outside is the best that I can hope for, in the winter months she turns on the bathroom fan and opens a window and smokes in the bathroom. She loves and respects me as much as I do her. Find a happy compromise. Sorry so long and personal. A subject close to my heart. I could share opinions/situations for days, tried to keep it short and make sense.
