Reporting cheaters is probably difficult:  whistle-blowers are liable to denigrate themselves,  feeling as if they're betraying their peers.

   But there's a bigger picture to consider:   the cheaters are also entrusted with patient care during clinicals.

   Their work in the classroom demonstrates they can't handle the job.

   The cheaters are the ones who have betrayed a trust, anonymous. They've eliminated themselves. Report them. You'll be doing their potential victims a favor.

    Moreover, you're right:  it's not fair to you or your peers that the cheaters continue passing exams while others pass or fail legitimately.

Well..... they can't cheat on the boards so they are only hurting themselves!

So the administration knows that cheating is going on?  That stinks.  You cant cheat on the nclex.  When I took it they even take your picture and your picture is mailed to you when you get your results <my kids laughed at my pic and kept asking me why I looked like a goob>.  When a class that has graduated and they take the nclex...............the results go to the state board.   If there is an unsatisfactory blemish on the school if a huge number of people fail.............the school will get reamed.  Basically, for the school to get reamed though ALOT of people have to fail.  The school is notified of every failure immediately too from what I understand.   Dont despair...................what goes around might just come around!

 I really hate people who cheat....yes I think you should report them if you come across one, its not fair for them to breeze throught school because they didnt want to study like the rest of us. what are you going to do after you graduate, when you cant look over your shoulder for quick answers? how are you going to cheat your way through the real world?

Reporting someone is hard but if you dont like what your seeing, you have to do it.

HA

I went to nsg school with a girl whos mom was an instructor. Hmmmm. She bragged in the beginning about how someone took the entrance exam for her. She learned quickly it wasn't something to brag about. Anyways she did graduate and come to find out she had someone pose as her to take the nclex. Her mother got her a job at the same hospital as well. I think they both ended up in hot water. It took a while but I believe you reap what you sow. Beware of imposters.

I graduated from the nsg school in 1994. Not much I can do now. I know I should of done something earlier. This was a reply to transferring to another school. Thanks.

The State Boards should weed them out.
