Dishonest Instructor

I need advice. I have an instructor who graded me low on a test and will not allow me to see the exam. The exam was essay, so everything is subjective. It is now in the hands of her superior. She is stating that she did not grade the exam, another instructor did. I have spoken with the other instructor and she did not grade the exam. I cannot trust her superiors to tell them this. They stick together. I am going through the university system to get this resolved. So far it has been a good amount of time and I still haven't seen the exam. Going through the channels will take 3-4 months. Is there anything else I can do? Shouldn't I be able to report this instructor to the State Board of Nursing without anything being done to me. I am afraid to do anything because they all stick together. This should be illegal. Please help. If anyone knows of anyone I can contact, please let me know. And please don't tell me this is trivial. I have spent many sleepless nights over this woman's lies. You have no idea what she has put me through.

Good news. I did catch them in a lie about who graded the exam and I am well on my way to having my grade changed.

hello, all

BSN, now you are able to move on and concentrate on your education. Place all the energy into your classes, assignments and clinicals. It is all behind you now and now it is time to concentrate on your goal - to become a np.

BSN,

I know the feeling. I have come across some instructors who are very lie. I was in a similar position long time ago and if I had said anything, I would be penalized because these instructors nowadays support each other. They are like stone wall. You will feel like one man against the world. Just try to move on, although it is easy for me to say this. Another thing, I just hate it when people make degrading assumptions, it drives me nuts. I prefer to give someone the benefit of the doubt and go ahead and advise them accordingly.

Good luck!

Ann
