Cheating Classmates

[Hazex6]

I am in the first semester of my program. There are classmates in my school that are sharing answers to tests and quizzes. Today, one of my classmates texted me with a file that contain the answers to an upcoming quiz. I have not opened the file that she sent to me. I also have not responded to any of her text messages. It ticks me off that students like myself spend countless hours studying and others just cheat their way through.

Ooh this is nothing new. I’m a person who has been stuck as a CNA for years because CA tuition is ridiculous and personal reasons I would rather not share or get into but I have always thought many new grads were cheaters it’s the new norm especially here in Cali the nurses all wanna be registered to preform Botox and cosmetic procedures mass numbers doing there clinical all same carbon copy models FIGS scrubs. Tiffany glasses and pumped lips ? I don’t judge them for looking their best but it’s sucks because I would like the title of a RN or better and the only rreason I suspect they cheat is because none of them really wanna do any real nursing work like get dirty they look appalled like it’s the most disgusting thing to have to do any invasive procedure and we have heard those rumors when some don’t return to same place saying they were caught cheating and tried to beat the proximity whatever they call them and that technology is improving to catch these cheaters but they still find ways around by ear pieces someone is showing them the way and it’s sad like the nurse above says because they won’t know anything or have any desire to help patients only doing it to preform duties next to surgeons and get comfy with a Beverly Hills doctor to get discounts on procedures it’s no fair

First of all, I hate to be the English teacher, I am sorry for being critical, but your post was very hard to read with no punctuation to define sentences, and there was no paragraph structure. 

I don't think all CA nurses go into the profession to do Botox, I am sure some are in it for the right reason. However, as far as I am concerned, a cheater is a cheater, and they should NOT be allowed to practice Nursing, or anything else in the medical profession. I would consider them dangerous. I also think that once a person is dismissed from a Nursing program for cheating, they should not be able to enter another program for a minimum of 5 years to allow the student to hopefully grow and see the error of their ways.

Yes I agree many shouldn’t cheat at all never a good outcome. I’m sorry if you think I was saying that every nurse is in it for this that is not my intention. I’m speaking of some experiences with new nurses who seem to all have the same typical look. The FIG scrubs and plumped lips and Cartier bracelet that’s all not saying that they are brainless a lot of people don’t wanna do the hard work anymore I understand it’s not easy at all

I'm not sure people who get all the answers to the questions throughout nursing school are going to necessarily be able to pass the NCLEX.  Some might slide through but not most.
