I don't tell because I'm not a b!tch. But that's just me. I always tried and not make my paper in plain view to keep from tempting people anyways...

Surprisingly, I haven't seen any indication of cheating in my nursing classes during exams. While I was in school for engineering, and even during the basic prereqs for admission into nursing - cheating was blatant and rampant.

Not wanting to inadvertently kill someone on the job, and having to maintain a minimum grade - or get booted from the program, while others are hungry for your spot - helps you to keep you focused on learning the material the first time. Then there's the added bonus of the NClex to deal with. Who wants to spend 25K+ on an education if you can't pass the boards and get a job?

normally i wouldnt tell.

once i did tell because the two girls were stupid about it. the professor left the class during the exam and the two girls decided to cheat. well they werent quiet about it and it disturbed my concentration because they were talking so loud. i wouldnt have tattled for being loud, but when i told them to please keep it down, they gave me a dirty look. so yea, i told on them because of the dirty look they gave me. if you're gonna cheat, then don't disturb others while doing it, and especially dont piss other people off.

The thing is if your going to say someone cheated you better have some solid proof. If it turns out his answers aren't the same as the person next to him you should be in a world of hurt for throwing those kind of accusations around. Anyone can accuse someone else of cheating.
