i am so furious right now that i can scream. :banghead:
ok, so i'm taking my exam and i'm on question 97 out of 100. thus far this has been my hardest nursing exam and i'm just try to hang in there for the next three questions before breaking down. so on question 97 i'm having difficulites, i can't chose between two of the four answers. so i pick my answer and put it on the scan tron, so now i'm ready to move on. i also put a question mark next to it so that i can track how many questions i think i got wrong. so next thing i know my instructor is standing beside me... i was petrified, i wasn't sure what was going on. she looks at me and then looks at my the question i was stuck on and tells me " remember what i told you in class" so right after that i immediately changed my answer. so come to find out during the test review, the answer that i changed to was actually wrong !:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
i was so angry. initially, i chose the right answer... it wasn't until my instructor came over to me trying to help made me switch my answer. why couldn't she just leave me alone and let me be. she shouldn't be trying to give me cues anyway. isn't that a form of cheating ???? isn't that wrong ? i didn't even ask for help and when she voluntered info. i got anxious and just knew i chose the wrong answer. i should of stuck to my guts and ignored her.
but seriously, what would you have done... imagine you are between two answers, then you finally chose your answer, and then the instructor comes over and looks at the answer you chose and makes a comment.
i wanted to express my feelings to her, but i pick and choose my battles wisely, and besides of what my thread is titled i know that i was still responsible for the answer i chose. however, i just can' help to feel sick that i was influenced by her. :zzzzz
i understand the op's frustration, but strongly disagree with your statement that the instructor "caused" her to do anything. unless the instructor took the pencil from the op's hand, erased her first answer, and changed it, she didn't "cause" anything. the op has accepted responsibility for changing her answer. whether or not she chooses to accept the constructive suggestions made by other posters (at her request) is up to her.
and i do very much accept the constructive criticism i've received. :zzzzz
