grrrr...(venting)

WARNING- The sole purpose of this post is for me to vent my frustrations of today!!!

Today we had a substitute teacher. To make a loooooooong story short I caught one of my classmates cheating. Instead of approaching her and asking her to stop (like I should have) I told the sub - assuming that she would approach the student. Well - she didn't. So today I told my instructor about what happened yesterday and she told me that there is nothing that she can do about it without evidence (even though there are about a half dozen witnesses) and that she would encourage me to confront the student still - let her know that I saw what she was doing and ask her not to do it again. UGG....it pisses me off. The girl was so blantent in her cheating as well. i'm just so angry that she is going to get away with it.....and yes...I KNOW....when it comes to the boards she won't be able to cheat and it'll all catch up with her...whatever. i'm still mad....just needed to vent a lil and get it all off of my chest.

thanks....

I would try not to worry too much about it. When it comes to the state boards if this is how she got through school she won't pass them. I don't blame you for being annoyed.

I'd be mad too!!! I'd also be *%&^ed off at the sub - she should have checked it out. YOU should be able to concentrate on your test and not have to confront the student during the test ... what the heck was she thinking? (or NOT thinking). :rolleyes:

So sorry that this happened to you.

You have every right to be mad if one of your classmates is cheating. Hopefully she will not cheat her patients the way that she cheated herself and those of you who are working hard for your grades!

What goes around comes around! She'll get it all back eventually, so just wait it out and you will see.

HUGS to you!

Claire,

I understand your frustration. Some instructors will do anything to help students to pass, and others won't tolerate even just the hint of cheating.

This student is only hurting herself and I believe it will come back to haunt her:eek:

Just continue to the be honest and hard-working student that you are.:)

I'm sorry to hear that your instructor didn't back you up. That took guts for you to report it. If she cheats now, what would she do if she made a med error or something?! We have an honor code in place at our school and you are obligated to report a violation or you are just as guilty. Sad to see people like that wanting to enter the profession.
