Ratting students out to the instructor is wrong

Published

My friend was in nursing school last year. One of her classmates ratted her out to the clincal instructor and she got kicked out of school. It was not about patient safety or anything. If her classmate kept her mouth shut, my friend would still be in school. I dont like snitches.

If the issue wasn't patient safety, then what was it? It must have been pretty significant in order for them to be kicked out of school. Sometimes if someone does something that shows a serious character deficit, they would be a danger if allowed to practice nursing.

We are adults and if someone "Ratted" someone out then the school would of investigated, you have to do somthing pretty serious to get kicked out. Maybe your not getting the entire story.

Then what was it about? Half the story was left out here, and honestly, it sounds like this thread was started just to start trouble. Last year? Not getting the real point, here.

Just because someone doesn't like someone who tells doesn't mean it was automatically wrong of that person to tell. "Friend" or not, and i suspect if this is really is an issue, emotions are playing into it. (wait, i said this on that thread that i'd started, that wasn't that long ago, hmmmmmmm)

:redlight:

(And i'm also noticing a trend, so that's all i'm going to feed the T anymore at this time)

Kindly finish the story. It is hard for us to share our opinions if the story is not complete. :)

Sometimes people come to the board with their own agenda of which we are not always privy. I think we can safely put this thread to rest. If the OP would like to enlighten us further, perhaps we could offer more. However, at the moment it just appears as a pot stirrer.
