I Cheated?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I scored a 75% cumulative on my entrance exam but my school requires at least an 80%. However, they still considered me because I have 4.0 GPA with 53 credit hours and I'm an honors student with a lengthy list of community service.

But instead of them just accepting me outright they instead gave me the options of either take an assement test and score a 80% or higher then be admitted to the program, or be wait listed for the next two years.

And because I did not want to get wait listed or wait another year to reapply, I chose instead to take the assement test and cheated on it because it was unproctored. I was the only person in the room testing and the lady who was suppose to monitor me left the room for some unknown reason for up to an hour. I don't think she knew that this was considered the "MCAT" for me in a way.

So while she was gone that whole hour I cheated my way through the test by using my phone and the internet and scored a 90% overall. I just received the call today after 6 days from taking test that I am accepted into the nursing program. The assessment test took place at another institution, so if it was not I would have never been able to get away with something like this.

Okay, I know now that is was very wrong for me to that and I only did it was because I really wanted to be a nurse so at the time I would've did anything to be it.

Guys I can't tell the school because I could probably go to jail and never be a nuse.

IF (and that is a very big if) this story is true--you are not welcome in nursing anyway. I don't think you would go to jail over it, but I certainly don't want any association with you...then again, I'm pretty sure this is all made up so it doesn't really matter.

Plus, IF it is true, don't you think it would be pretty easy for the school to figure this out. Someone failed the admission test, they have a good GPA and they gave this student a 2nd chance, and they did well on this assessment test. I'm thinking they could figure out who this is...IF it really did happen.

Lol, I'm not either, but I play one on TV. :D

You won't go to jail. But you really should tell the school, someone who didn't cheat on the test deserves the spot. If you don't tell the school that says a lot about you, as a person.

Just because someone stole your phone at work doesn't mean they would've stole your phone there. Even though you kept it you still shouldn't have cheated. You should've turned it off.

We aren't bashing or bullying you. We are telling you the truth. Cheating is wrong. You knew it was wrong but you still did it & took the acceptance.

Why doesnt nobody believe me and I plan on deleting this post soon.

Cheating on a test today, falsifying documentation tomorrow. There will always be a compelling reason for someone like you to fudge the truth.

So are you going to go to the school and tell them you cheated? You may not get into that program but it doesn't mean that you can't reapply. If you do decide to reapply to a program I hope you learn from this error of judgment. Either way good luck to you.

Then, once again, why did you make this post? If cheated on the assessment test how do you think you will fair in nursing school itself? If you even make it through nursing school, how will you make it as a nurse???

It's a troll. This isn't true.

I believe the only reason why the lady left the room because she believed that I had no electronics on me, there's was nothing in the room I could've used to cheat, and the computers I used for test has no internet as was only ment for testing and nothing else.

Just know Tylay, that falsifying documentation will cost you your license.
