why pick on your nursing school?....if this happened there, it most likely happened in all the depts....
besides, a good deal of whether you pass or not is your knowledge on the floors...your confidence, your basic knowledge, etc....
cheating makes me very angry though...

Not trying to pick on the nursing school...just making a statement that cheating for whatever reasons seems to be rampant in US schools. What is particularly offensive to me is that cheating in nursing schools places people in the profession who should not be there. If we are talking athletics, there is less of a chance that someone really gets hurt except the athlete. But with nurses, people can get hurt who are not involved in the cheating other than receiving care from nurses that gained that title by cheating. Agreed, most nurses actually become competent when they acquire skills on the floor...but some get to the floor who should never have gotten that far.

There’s an entire cover story from Universities about not paying athletes ‘because of the value of the scholarships/education they are receiving’. Most of us already were aware that this cover is usually a crock... but this NYT piece could be pulling the thread that unravels the entire quilt.

So a pale friend got a job as a professor at a HUB college.
While there the one student who actually paid attention and knew the subject came up after class and objected to a tight deadline before a break.
The student did not have time to write the papers for multiple students in the class (mostly athletes). He was paid $50 from each athlete to write their papers!
John was flabbergasted and discussed with a member of the administration. Seems that the administration was aware of a “few irregularities” but thought it was a good way for the smarter students to pay for college, since they has few scholarships!
John quit at the end of the year and was released from his multiyear contract with no penalty. As a pastor he was not going to pass anyone he caught cheating - but he suspects that every student he had was passed anyway.

“As we used to say in Raleigh:
NC State = Education
UNC = Vacation”
We didn’t say anything at all about state in Chapel Hill. We even wrote them out of the fight song while I was in school there.
