Need an opinion

The company that gives the exam also published a study guide. All you cheated on was the company getting $30 from your friend. The study guides also give example questions that are like the exam, and tell you what areas to focus on.

No cheating seen here.

I don't see this as cheating. I understand what you are feeling though. Where do you go to school?

Thank you..my conscious was starting to bother me - but if others don't see it that way, then I think it is probably just my envy :uhoh21:

I completely understand your feelings. Don't worry. But your friend should be down on her knees thanking YOU!! :rolleyes:

Be happy for your friend no matter what. Rejoice in her success as though it was you, than the blessings will come your way.

When I met with an advisor, he told me you have NO FRIENDS! Everyone is out for themselves as this CC's nursing program is very competitve to get into. He said it was best to stay on my own and not accept help from nor help anyone else. Now I thought this was kind of harsh. Although I do appreciate his advice and think he meant well, I can't seem to get past what he said and I am afraid to make any close friends. Has anyone else been told this?

Thank you - in my heart I know I did the right thing; in my flesh it just plain sux. I will get over it. I appreciate this encouraging insight :)

Well, it does sound harsh - and let me tell you, I wouldn't trade these friends of mine for the world - ones that I've made through school. I simply am having a 'moment in the flesh' where it is digging at me. In my heart of hearts I know that I did the right thing and that as futurenurse said, I need to rejoice in her success and watch the blessings come my way. I do believe that you have to be on your guard to an extent because unfortunately there are those out there that don't feel the same way. You will know when you have a true friend. Like mine.

I dont think that is the best way to go when you in school. I have 3 good friends that are taking A&P 2 with me. We met in A&P 1, we just have similar goals and interest. We all help one another. We share notes, tapes and any other resources. If one person misses a class, we share and explain the missed materials. I think you need to have at least two people in a class that you can call if you are sick or cant make it to class. I think in my opinion, the advisor is wrong for saying that to you.

Last semester, I was even helping other students that were not even part of my study group. One girl gave me two books, religion and developmental because I was not selfish. If I did not share the imformation I had with her, she probably would not have given them to me.

I really feel strongly in my spirit, Stdy2BaNurse did the right thing and I know God will bless her. Stay blessed!

I know where you are coming from. I have a friend that will apply with me this semster and when it comes down to it (getting in) we can be enemies! Not purposeful but it happens. We will study together and ask each other questions but neither one of us wants the other to do better than ourselves. That sounds horrible doesn't it! Well, it IS a competition!

I know how you feel. I meet with a few people and they always wind up with A's and B's and I get C's. Some people are genetically engineered better than others. I consider myself more of a "people person" which is why I'm going into nursing. We all four applied to the same ABSN program so hopefully I won't be left behind. But when I get there (thinking positively) I want to meet other new people as well. :)
