  1. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ posted a topic in General Nursing

    What would you do if you found out people were cheating on nursing exams? I don't mean just copying during the tests, but I've seen people share questions from the previous semester, since some...

  2. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It's not about school competition and who gets the best grades. I have no issues with that, since i've also been a good student and studied hard. I don't feel jealous of those that get the...

  3. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your thoughts. I realize that cheating has been part of academia for many yrs, not just nursing. I have even heard about it from medical students, who have witnessed it, and some doing it...

  4. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    The instructor(s) have not openly discussed this, but it is more than obvious when they collect and count exams that they will be using the same ones again, and if they thought it was ok for students...

  5. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me, but my aim has not been to seek and bust these students. I was only giving examples of how cheating on tests does affect how students learn, since one poster said that testing doesn't...

  6. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I read about what's happening in the Phillipines, and I'm so sorry for what you and other fellow nurses from your country are going through. I completely understand your feelings, and it's the same...

  7. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing, it's true classroom theory and 'practical' application are different things. But I wasn't just referring to their skills. There have been several instances were they were 'asked' in...

  8. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    That may be true, that some people have book smarts. But there's more to this situation that you are not aware of, esp. since these same students did not do 'extremely' well the first semester and in...

  9. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not pointing the finger at them, and I said that I'm not completely sure they are cheating. But it's just highly suspicious to me, as well as other fellow classmates who have noticed this, that...

  10. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your insight. You have good points, but I do believe that there are instances where an 'uncaring' attitude might endanger the safety of a patient. I have seen this myself where nurses...

  11. Body Worlds exhibit....

    MiaNJ replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure if they have promotional discounts now. When I went several months ago, they gave me a student discount, which was $5 off. But recently a friend went, and they told her that they no...

  12. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, that cheating students who eventually manage to pass the NCLEX will someday make the nursing profession seem less worthy or trusted. But as far as remembering questions, I am not...

  13. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I disagree, because it IS cheating if a person knows ahead of time the EXACT questions and answers to a test. If this wasn't cheating, then why aren't the NCLEX EXACT questions and answers...

  14. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying, and agree that tests don't always measure knowledge completely. HOWEVER, in my school and in probably many others, it's actually the test grades that determin if the...

  15. Positive PPD with history of BCG

    MiaNJ replied to TiffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I also got the BCG in the early 80s, but I never was exposed to any affected person, etc. I was only for a trip to East. Europe that my family had to go, and was required at the time. So when I got...

  16. Body Worlds exhibit....

    MiaNJ replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw Bodies in New York City, which has been there since last November. They extended it for over 6 mos since it was so

  17. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point exactly. Even if professors don't actually see the students cheat, I'm certain they do realize that students can remember questions and provide them to their friends. If the prof. does...

  18. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    That's so sad, what happened to your class. It's simply not fair. When people say look the other way or 'don't be concerned about cheating' and 'worry about yourself', they don't realize that cheating...

  20. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    It's a shame if some professors do realize this happens and let it slide. You're right, remembering is part of learning, BUT in the field of nursing it's not merely about remembering 'certain'...

  21. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I understand about the honor code, and I wouldn't want someone to harm anyone if I were in a work environment. The problem is that even if I know people are cheating, it's my word against theirs....

  22. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm not upset because they are not sharing their test bank with me. I am fortunate to get good grades, since I study hard. Besides, even if I were to have access to these questions, I wouldn't...

  23. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your advice. Fortunately, I do put lots of energy in my studies and have managed to do very well so far. I don't start school again until next week, so I'm on a little break. I haven't seen...

  24. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    If you just wanted to help your friend out to score higher than she normally would have with her excellent study skills (so she would've had an excellent score w/o your help) , then that's your...

  25. Cheating on nursing exams

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone should be punished for having memory of test questions. I also have a good memory, and after the test go to my notes and books, and try to find answers, to check if I was right or...
