Last week of first semester nursing school and have the highest grade in the class. already stressing about finals, etc. Then comes my Fundamentals teacher accusing my friend and I of cheating simply because we both go the same question incorrect. Mind you we had DIFFERENT answers!!! She also LIED to both of us stating that we did write the same answer. Nursing professionalism is stressed in the class she teaches, where is hers? I don't think that is called cheating but just making stupid mistakes on our part. She stated that she went to the nursing program director to discuss "what she should do". There is nothing to do. My question is what are the implications, if any, of an instructor falsely accusing you without any support to back it up and going to other instructors to tell them about it? I am a mature woman with a family, have worked my butt off to get where I am. I don't need some arrogant nursing instructor to ruin the rest of my year in school with a false accusation like that. It's jeopardizing my character and my integrity. Thanks for any comments. Beth
