Hello, everyone! I will really appreciate your every advice, cause really need one. And please do not judge me, cause I am doing it every second. I just finished my first semester in the Nursing School, did good in the rest of the classes but failed Pathophysiology (got D as a final grade) due to cheating. Please do not ask me why I did it(( Professor gave me 0% out of 30% as a grade for the final exam, thats why I got D. In addition, they put this incident into my personal record. Although I am allowed to retake the class in the Fall, my GPA now is 2.7, and even if I'll pass the class for A it will be really hard to boost GPA above 3.5 with the remaining classes. This D grade remains in my transcript, and the new grade will be added. I was told that this incident will never be released during the background checks but I am really worrying. Now I don't know what to do: should I continue in this school and do my best in the remaining semesters, or should I withdraw from school and start everything from the scratch in another one? How important is the GPA for the employers now? Will someone will hire me with such background? Please, help, I am devastated. I would really appreciate every comment and feedback
