In addition to
the other responses here, I'd like to add a story of mine:
I
was part of a class that was accused of cheating (except for the one who told
the administration). A fire alarm was pulled by a middle schooler that was on a
field trip during our pharmacology final and we had to give our tests half
completed to an instructor, who allowed us to go do whatever we wanted, even
study, as we didn't know if we were returning later to finish the test. Later
in the week were kept after our last final, forced to sign a contract that said
that if we confessed to accessing online material to study during the alarm, we
can get no higher than a C. If we didn't, they'd investigate and if they found
out we had logged into our online education site, we could receive a failing
grades and disciplinary action. We also heard that the instructor who was
proctoring us, the one that took the tests
was facing possible termination
(who also happened to be one of my cohort’s favorite instructors). This
instance really set my cohort up to be very distrusting and pessimistic about
our program. The program felt terrible, but after talking to other RNs, it
seems a lot of people have had to go through some BS to get their BSN.
Now I'm happily working in an ICU. Hang in
there. You have to jump through a lot of hoops.
