They are still trying to resolve the issue of the exam answers leakage in the 2006 Nursing board exams. There is a big debate on whether everyone should retake (whether they cheated or not) or if it should be a selective retake. The Court of Appeals ruled that it should be a "selective retake" based on certain guidelines. Personally? I would not hire anybody in this year's batch of graduates for the simple reason that you never know who really did cheat and who did not. I would not risk another person's life in their hands if there is even a shadow of a doubt about his/ her competency. I say they should all retake it! Besides, with all the hype the incident created, I doubt a decent country would hire them.

And yes, it is all too easy to annoy one of the gatekeepers at these places. They have already thrown every stumbling block possible in Lu's way, the latest is they can't give her the diploma because the hospital claims to have not received the money she paid to the school.

Oh, they finally got the money forwareded to them by the accounting department of the school. Now they are insisting I owe them 3 day's worth of training. I told them to go back and read my request letter and check their logbooks, I already paid for my excused abscence! Now they say 3-4 days for the training certificate and then 2 weeks for my diploma
