I recently got a 100% on my Med/Surg 2 exam. I'm normally a pretty good student. I get mostly A's but I have gotten a couple Bs. However, I really excel in clinical and I've gotten nothing but praise from my instructors. So, I actually feel pretty good about becoming a nurse. I feel like I put in a lot of effort and I honestly deserve the grades and praise I get.
However, recently with this 100% I feel sad and offended because my professor indirectly accused me of cheating... She didn't directly say it, but it was pretty obvious. She was asking me how I study and if I normally get these types of grades and said, "No one has EVER gotten a 100%, so we just wanted to talk to you..." and pretty much had a look on her face that said, "CHEATER!" It really really bothers me because I would NEVER EVER do something like that. I work WAY too hard and am paying WAY to much for school, along with the fact that I HONESTLY want to be an amazing nurse... anyway, you understand now, I would never do anything to hurt my chances of getting my BSN. Even though I know I would never cheat and I could have many of my past professors and classmates back me up, I don't want it to come to that. How can a professor automatically assume a student was cheating just because they did well on a test?? I guess it really hurts because I know myself and how I am with school... I should have been beyond thrilled and celebrated, etc, but all I can think about is that my professor is thinking totally different of me and that's really bothering me.
I study from many different materials, I never ever just read the book. I usually don't even read all the required material because I found out that that just doesn't work for me. I use like 6 different study materials and I feel like I'm finally figuring out how to "study smart."
Anyway, does anyone have any imput? I know some of you will think I'm being ridiculous, but this is just how I am.
