Jesus. NEVERMIND. You misunderstood the post there.

Well, I guess it wasn't just that specific charting act that I witnessed which gave me the gut feeling she wasn't being professional. But who knows, she may have been having a bad day or she hates her job. And my question of whether I should report this or not, was just for my own reference for the future. I'm smart enough to know that I shouldn't intervene or butt in based on observing her for one day only.

how is it not?? Nurses should set a good example for their students. If not, they should display professionalism or perform their duties with integrity to begin with.

So then should I have reported this to the charge nurse or my clinical instructor??

Thank you so much for all your input. I guess it's mainly to protect yourself and others (including peers, patients).

Does anyone know why it's illegal for nurses to let other nurses chart while they are logged in? I saw my nurse have her friend nurse come chart while she was logged in. Thanks

So I have previously applied to both Ashland and Portland campuses, not in the same year obviously because it isn't allowed, and got in to both of them. I realized that getting into all the campuses except the main campus (Portland) is a piece of cake. I never had to worry about getting into Ashland, as my advisor would always tell me beforehand that I would already be in with a 3.9 GPA. So I got in. However, the year after, when I applied to Portland Campus with a 4.0 GPA, I did not get in even with my CNA license, work hours, and my pre reqs all finished. (I also wrote a fabulous essay). So I applied to Portland campus again, and eventually got in last year. (I only wanted to go to Portland campus to take full advantage of nursing program). I believe that Portland campus is probably the best campus to study nursing at because of the obvious NCLEX scores, better professors, and more opportunities (OHSU hospital, events, lectures, etc). It is definitely hardest to get in out of all the campuses and for a reason. I was wondering if anyone agrees/disagrees with my opinion. Feel free to comment and share.
