Abstract

Cheating has been a part of structured academics since time immemorial. Students cheat to pass a test, to pass a course, and to get better grades than others. They also cheat to obtain the benefits that better grades offer-scholarships, admission to graduate programs, recognition at ceremonies, and prestigious job offers. This article presents data obtained from a survey of nursing students and lists the measures taken to reduce cheating in the classroom.
