These are specific test questions that she gives during theory, and it shows up on the exams. It's like giving us the test questions before the test so we don't fail. She shares the class with another instructor and only does it when the other director is not in the class room.

I am currently in my first year of nursing school. I have an instructor who is awesome. She cares about the students and doesn't want anyone to fail. I am all for that, I know she genuinely cares for us. However, I don't agree with what she's been doing. She gives away test questions for the upcoming exams. Other instructors are not aware of what she's doing, only the students. I feel like, everyone needs a freebie every now and then, but to always be trying to fish people out of certain situations is not going to help. Students need to do their part as well and not rely solely on the instructor's questions to get by. I don't feel it's right, and I'm here to ask you what I should do. I want to let the other instructors know but I don't want to get her in trouble because she just wants us all to pass. But we need to be responsible for our own education. By her giving us everything, how are we to learn? I don't know what to do. Please help.

So, how do I go about reported this anonymously. I don't want any repercussions, but really admin should put two and two together. I'm thinking about using a public computer and just letting them know to reduce any chance of test integrity, everyone should take their exams at the same time. Any help, is appreciated.

I am not asking you to do my homework for me. If that was the case, I'd post the entire care plan sheet. If you had read, I am on my 2nd care plan in 8 hours and I may not make sense. Just asking for a little help since my brain is fried. Thought this was the place to get a little help, not tell someone to do my hw for me. Thanks for the input.

She has von wildebrands disease, which is a bleeding disorder. I don't have the book!

Everyone is taking the same test during different times. And yes, I have personally seen them in action asking whoever they can to get more questions. They tried asking me too, but I did not give in! I know there's no proof, and I don't want to get anyone in trouble. I just thought it would be wise for staff to know. It's only common sense. These students are irresponsible, and they need to grow up.

I am in OB and am struggling with care plans. We have two, and I mean Two care plans due next week on top of exams and theory and clinicals, I don't know how I am going to find time to do all of this. Cut to the chase: So my PP mom has a bleeding disorder. My nursing diagnosis is Risk for bleeding R/T inherited bleeding disorder. That doesn't sound right to me. Or maybe Risk for fluid volume deficit R/T inherited bleeding disorder? I'm on my second care plan 8 hours later, so sorry if I don't make any sense. Please HELP!!

I don't want to necessarily get those students in trouble. I just feel it's common sense for the faculty to know that groups are formed and information will be getting out. All they have to do is look at those students at the beginning of the semesters which I know did not do so well but. However, now that they took advantage of the special needs testing, their test scores have gone up significantly. I believe this is something they should look into.

Hi there, So, there's been cheating in my program. I am not quite sure what to do about it so here I am turning to you guys for help. There are students who have to take their tests at different times from the normal class due to special needs. We take our exams first and then they have to take their tests a lot later. The issue is that these people are asking other students for questions and answers that were on the tests. Since we take our exams first they have an advantage and are getting better grades then those of us who have tried really hard to get to where we are. I find this to be really unfair. I feel it's the students fault as well as the faculty just to let them know that maybe everyone should be taking their tests at the same to reduce the chances of someone cheating? How do I go about this anonymously? Using school computer with a new email possibly? Thank you

I really do appreciate everyone's advice, and I know you all are just trying to help me see the big picture. It hasn't been easy at all, and it will most likely continue to be this way. I have come to terms that if we don't end up being friends in the end of all this, I am okay with it. I just need to learn to cope with not being "invited" to study groups, or celebrations after an exam especially when there's public post in my face all over social media. I guess that's what hurts the most, and I should maybe stay away from social media, so I don't hear or see these things. But like one of the posts earlier stated for me to put all my focus into studying and in doing the best I can. I have aced both my exams and have done exceptionally well, that I'm proud. I have family and other friends who love me and will go to the moon and back for me. I don't need this, all I need is to get through this part my life. Maybe there's something there that I need to learn from all of this. I'm not sure what it is yet. I had a really bad day when I posted this, I have since then moved on from it. Although, there are still painful moments, I will not let it hinder my studying and will not deter me from finishing what I set out to do. I will continue to come back to read all the feed backs that I have been given when I am feeling really down. Thank you all for picking me back up.

This literally made me cry. Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback. I'll never know why she is intentionally excluding me but it's alright. I know it's easier said then done, but I will try to move on from this. I have to gain my independence somehow because this is really bringing me down. I have sat all day in front of my computer and only read one page of my book. I am truly depressed and am really thinking about deferring and starting next semester.

I was really going to let this go, I really was. I can't help it if it's affecting me emotionally. I just feel so sick to my stomach, and I can't study. It wouldn't be so hard if it was coming from her. Actually, if I didn't get invited to any study groups I would be totally fine! But for the fact that she is not including me in is what's getting to me. So, there's a study group going on in a couple days. It's mainly with the people she knows on her clinical days. However, one of the girls that I know is hosting and she invited me to go. She informed me of who was coming, of course my so called good friend is going, and she didn't mention anything to me. She doesn't know I will be going, or if I'm going go. I haven't decided yet. What should I do, not go or go and not let her know I'm going? I just don't understand. Why do I have struggle with not fitting in? I just feel so isolated, like something must be wrong with me? Maybe I'm not cool enough for everyone. Why am I letting this hinder my studying? I guess, I went into this hearing that in nursing school is where you will establish caring relationships with these people for the rest of your life. I am not feeling this right now. Will it get better? How was it with your guy's experience? I am not being needy, I just feel like why is she not inviting me. I have done nothing wrong. We still hang out in theory and see each other, but yet she doesn't mention outside study groups? Why?

Thank you

Thank you so much guys. I feel so much better! I know who I am, and I know what is important. I will not let this get in the way. Move on, I am an adult and I don't care if by the end of all of this I am with the cool kids or not, or if I get invited or not-that's not what's important. The main thing is that I pass and graduate and move on from this. I just want to thank you guys for giving me the "tough love" answers I so desperately needed.

I am feeling so bummed. I just don't know what to do. I just started nursing school about three weeks ago. The great thing about it is that I was able to get in with one of my friends that I did all my pre-req's with. We've known each other for over 4 plus years. Now in nursing school we have different days in labs and at clinicals, however we still see each other in theory class. I feel like she's separating herself from me. She's not including me into the study groups she gets invited to and she sort of ignores me almost purposely. I have invited her to any and every study group that I have been invited to. I have never left her out because we went in saying that at least we got in the same time and am able to help one another through it. I feel like she doesn't want me to be a part of whatever she is a part of, almost hiding it from me. I just don't know what to do, and it's hindering me being able to study and focus on what is really important. I know this isn't what nursing school is about to worry about friendships but it still affects me. I am the most caring and giving person ever and I don't deserve this. What am I suppose to do?
