During the past 5+ years as a nurse, I have experienced some similar experiences. One elderly lady once told me "if you were a few years older and I was a few years younger, we could have some fun." The worst situation was after I started dating my wife. An older coworker (CNA) started making advances, including physical contact. I immediately told her to stop, citing I had a girlfriend who wouldn't appreciate her actions. She responded that my girlfriend wasn't present and what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. I ended the conversation and walked away. Shortly afterward, I left that job and moved closer to my girlfriend. It is frustrating when someone has their mind set on something and they won't let it go after a simple "no" or "stop." That is where further action is needed. The coworker was in a float pool, so I didn't see her much afterwards. Knowing what I know today, and if I were married at the time, I would have made a larger issue of it. Common sense and discretion are important in a professional work environment. I am glad I haven't had too many problems in this department.

I am currently enrolled at South University Online. I started my RN-BSN last February. South University is on the Quarter system. The school year is divided into four, and each quarter is divided into 2 5.5 week sections. A full time student takes one class for one section and two classes the second session. I started taking three classes per quarter, but I had to cut back due to work and other issues (I work full time in a CCU). I had the hardest time getting used to online classes, but now, I would never want to go back to a traditional classroom. The teachers and fellow students are helpful. The tuition is a little higher than I would like, but it is more affordable than most of the other online RN-BSN programs I looked at (290/credit hour, if memory serves me correctly). I am not sure if I would start the program again if I knew what I now know, but I have learned a lot of useful information. I plan on completing the program next spring. I am debating whether to start the MSN program next year. My ultimate goal would be in education. Reply to WitchyRN South University accepted a lot of classes I took for my ADN program. I think you shouldn't have many problems. One word of advice, brace yourself. South University takes time and effort. It often feels overwhelming until you get used to the schedule. The first several classes I was unhappy with the way the recruiter described the course load and work of each class, but I adjusted and learned how to manage my time and schedule better. One of my classmates dropped out last year because it wasn't her style. There were a few times I considered dropping out the first several months, but I am glad I didn't. I don't have as much a problem with it now that I am only taking one class at a time. By the way, if you have to take any Art History, be prepared to spend a lot of time on this class. I wouldn't advise taking it with other classes. That's all I can think of at this time. Good luck.
