How will you handle a situation where your class mate in an advance nursing course is submiting papers that were written by her spouse ? Is this plagiarism?:angryfire

I agree, but I don't think it is acceptable for a student in an advanced Nurse's program to hand in a critique assignment that was written by another person and this student is purporting herself to be the original author of the paper. The objective of attending a place of learning should not be to hoard academic credits.:angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

:rotfl: Hi Rollingstone Who are you directing your question to? I am just curious!

There is need to have a unified front by nursing organizations to eradicate this problem of academic dishonesty before nursing diplomas and degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on. Petitions must be made to federal and state departments to deal with this problem with a case of urgency as patients' lives are in jepordy. It has come to my knowledge of an individual who has graduated as an advanced practice nurse with the authority to prescribe medication. While in school, all the written assignments that individual submitted for credits were written by another person. I am sure this practice has occured before with other disiplines but the potential risk in the nursing profession is beyond immagination.

As an educator how will you deal with a student who submits another's work for academic credit?
