Seriously, your work is considered cheating. Unbelievable. It's your work.

The whole purpose of a writing assignment in nursing school is three-fold:

You learn how to write in APA format. This is extremely important if you continue on to graduate school. It also comes into play if your future nursing job has any research components. You need to learn how to produce professionally written nursing papers.

While writing a term paper, your knowledge and retention of the subject matter is increased dramatically. I can still recall information from years ago simply because it was in a term paper -- written by me.

Last, a term paper assignment teaches you to organize information, your time and your thoughts. These skills are very important for success in nursing school.

Hope this didn't come off as a lecture but quite frankly, I think one is in order. Ethics are really important in the health care field, and leaving them in the dust while in nursing school is no way to begin a brilliant career.

Sometimes schools have a "weird" view on what constitutes cheating vs what doesn't.

At my school...and this is stupid. Let's say you took an English class and did a paper on a topic, got an A on it...but failed other aspects of the class and had to take it over.

If you turned that same paper back in...they say that's cheating...I don't agree...if it's your own work, it's not cheating.

I actually have about three topics that I use for papers in my classes..that I update periodically and turn them in over and over again for classes. I repeat the research portion because some of the information does change...however, the paper is still mine.

Many schools don't approve of this -- not because it is "plagerism," but because the want the student to learn from having to practice the skills of creating a paper several times throughout your education and/or develop knowledge about more than 3 topics. They want you to write multiple papers over time so that you will learn more -- and not just write one paper that you hand it again and again and again. That first paper you write might meet the requirements of several different classes, but you will not learn anything if you never do any more work.

Imagine if you did a project/paper on a specific disease prosess -- and then never learned anything about the other disease processes because you just used that same paper over and over again. You would be a lousy nurse in the end. You are assigned to do multiple projects and provide clinical care for multiple types of patients so that you can learn about multiple aspects of nursing care. The same things goes for subjects like English, History, etc. They want you to learn about more than just one thing in the process of writing those papers.

As an "academic infraction" in an honor code, it is listed in the same category as plagerism because it is deceptive to turn in such a paper repeatedly unless the professor has pre-approved that use of a previous paper. Unless you make arrangements with the professor, that professor thinks he/she is grading work that you did as part of THAT current class. If you didn't do the work as part of that current class, it is deceptive -- academically dishonest -- to suggest that you did. That academic dishonesty is where the problem lies in such a case. You don't deserve the academic credit for having taken a course if you didn't do any work in it (-- if you simply turned in previous work).

I agree with you partially.

I do quite a bit of reading that many of my classmates don't do on topics we research in class, for the sheer fact, that if something interests me, I read more about it. I have several specialty based free subscriptions online that I do read when I get more time.

I don't believe it's necessary to write a paper on a topic to learn more about it. I have also streamlined the paper-writing process down, that to write a 10 to 20 page paper, if I took only a weekend and did nothing else, I can easily kick out an A-paper in less than 72 hours.

I choose not to do it (unless I am assigned a topic...then I don't have a choice) because I would rather spend that time studying for my exams.

I do update my papers with new information...I don't just go to the computer, sit down and hit print.

Research professionals also do the same thing...they will update research project periodically and have it republished....but no one says that this isn't doing quality work.

Unfortunately, that is one of the benefits of going to a nursing school where the communication is bad. They don't consult with each other about anything.

If they choose the subject, fine, a new paper they will get. But if I have to pick it, they will get an updated one.

It's cheating. What constitutes cheating has been standardized in most schools.

If a teacher tells you they want a paper it is implied that the paper be new.

Having been through high school you should already know this.

This relates to the old thread about 'A' students making better nurses. 'A' students don't cheat. ;)

Where on earth did you get this idea? I am an academic, went through grad school, defended a dissertation, taught at a university, the whole 9 yards. Believe me, NO ONE simply makes little "updates" to papers they once wrote and expects to get them published. If someone revisits a topic, they start over and look at the topic in a completely new light, in light of other people's research, new data, etc. Anyone who tried to do otherwise would (a) get laughed at and (b) would get a terse note from a journal editor, advising the person not to submit any more papers, since they had obviously stopped thinking years ago.

When I was in graduate school, one of the professors in my department told an amazing story. One of her undergrad students had bought one of these term papers. It so happened that the professor worked in a very specialized area of research. As she read this student's paper, she realized she was reading one of HER OWN papers, which the student had submitted as his own work. Can you guess what happened to that student? Wow, talk about dumb moves, bad luck, whatever you want to call it. It's not worth it.

At my university, students who plagiarize must attend a hearing to determine their status. I imagine this is standard procedure regardless of the institution. Depending on the severity of the infraction, a student may be dismissed from the university or receive an AD (academic dishonesty) mark on their permanent record. Even if one retains admission and manages to graduate, the AD mark remains on the transcript. Potential employers will view it as evidence of deceptive behavior. My spouse recently attended a hearing for a student who chose to plagiarize. This process is time consuming and disrupts a teacher's schedule. I imagine the affected students enjoy it even less.

Even if by some miracle you didn't get caught, which isn't likely with all the software they use to check for plagarism, how are you going to pull the next paper off? Learning to write academic papers takes effort! Find anybody that has a clue about essay structure and can also spell properly and use correct grammar and get them to have a look and give you changes that you need to make. Learn how to write a strong introduction and a conclusion. It's surprising how many marks you can gain just from writing the paper correctly and articulating yourself better.

I always send my big assigments to friends that have a good style of writing when I've finished the paper and they will come up with better ways of expressing something that I was stuck on. It really helps.

As a point of information, a few years ago one of the professors at my university (not in nursing) wrote a simple computer program that looked at a string of 6 identical words that were submitted in student papers (as well as websites/journal articles in his field). Since students submitted papers in Microsoft Word, he also stored the papers over several years. This simple software program resulted in over 100 students being dismissed (and several diplomas withdrawn from students who had graduated). At my University, there is a single sanction for academic dishonesty --- it is mandatory dismissal.

Faculty are aware of these website, companies, and students who try and take shortcuts. Do not risk your future.

I didn't know that this was considered a bad thing. I guess I'll have to write the term paper on my own. But I have NEVER done good on a term paper before in my life. The highest grade I ever got was a C-. There is always something wrong with it.

Many instructors will review your paper for you ahead of time if you turn it in several days (or a week) early. You would have to find out from your particular instructor if they are willing to do that; but even if they do not want to, you can go to your school's tutor program or writing lab for help. Not only can instructors run your paper through a plagiarism database, they can also tell when the entire writing style of a paper changes from a previous paper you turned in. They know you didn't just miraculously change from a D paper student to an A paper student.

A C- is way better than cheating in my book, and it's certainly better than being kicked out of a program. Cheating just isn't worth it.
