a friend of mine who is already in the ADN program gave me a copy of her reading schedule that outlines what will be covered each week and the readings that will be required. No assignments are listed only a reading schedule and the topics covered. Is this academic dishonesty since I will be getting a head start on the readings that are required?

anonymousstudent 559 Posts May 24, 2011 Usually if you have to ask "is it dishonest" it probably is.Thanks for blowing that theory for me. I've never seen a case where this question has been posed and it wasn't dishonest. Until now.
~Mi Vida Loca~RN, ASN, RN 5,259 Posts Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics. Has 6 years experience. May 24, 2011 I had a student report me for cheating before. A girl in a class behind me had asked me on myfacebook how peds was. She was just starting it. I said it was like a mini med surg but more emphasis on child developmental age while giving care. So I told her to make sure she understands the developmental stages. This was same info we were told day one for the class and what was on school website. Yet somehow I was reported by some shady girl in my class that I was openly helping students cheat. Well I fought it, I wasn't going to go down for that since I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm an advocate for "Do your own work", but that's a little ridiculous.To the OP- I do NOT see this as dishonest in any way.
