so glad you guys did what i did & applied at george washington university (gwu) which is fully accredited. it is a quality "name" school with excellent instructors. i also applied at shenandoah university (leesburg, va) & i got in but on the day i came in to interview, nursing students were arguing & crying in the hallway. the instructors were in disarray with their hands on their hips & i felt a certain tension that all was not well. well, i turned around and headed home because shenandoah university is not professional enough for the job that they need to do; namely, instruct tomorrows nursing leaders. i have friends who graduated from shenandoah who claim that the staff (all female) are misogynistic (hate women) so it may be best to stay clear. here is a timely article about misogyny i found in forbes. shenandoah university in lessburg, va has this problem in spades and it starts at the top. if you hear about environments like this, itis not your problem it is theirs. stay away... http://www.forbes.com/sites/work-in-progress/2011/11/30/the-psychological-warfare-of-women-are-we-our-own-worst-enemy-2/ r ia!

She could stand up and then he could turn on her. She could go to the Dean of Nursing too but who knows how they will respond. It is tough enough doing the Looooooong ass days and then deal with bullying & harassment is just beyond me. This tells me that it is the SCHOOL's issue & their culture that allows it. Just grin & bear it & pass & move on. Stuednt never win otherwise. Here is a timely article about misogyny I found in Forbes. The fact that the other women do not help her tells me that the other students are ALSO the enablers of the errant instructor's behavior. A school in Northern VA call Shenandoah University has this problem in SPADES and it starts at the top. If you here about environments like this, it not your problem it is theirs. http://www.forbes.com/sites/work-in-progress/2011/11/30/the-psychological-warfare-of-women-are-we-our-own-worst-enemy-2/ Ria!

Misogyny started in my life at birth. My mother was a misogynist & she wanted me to be like her but I could not follow the program though many other women needlessly follow their mothers into this belief system. Read this Forbes article on the topic as misogyny rests in all occupations not just nursing. http://www.forbes.com/sites/work-in-progress/2011/11/30/the-psychological-warfare-of-women-are-we-our-own-worst-enemy-2/ Could it be that men are kinder than women are?

What is Duke's starting salary for newly minted BSN? Anybody know? Ria

Shenandoah University has a lot of problems. Suggest you try George Washington University's program in Leesburg The faculty & university staff can not be trusted. The cost is high & the instructors unreliable (if they show up). The university is NOT well know either. A total waste of time and money.
