To whom it may concern,
On Friday March 9th, Nursing 235 students took exam 2. There was no preliminary grade or test review given on that day. After reviewing the student handbook, we as a student body feel that the college should honor its policy regarding test review. On page 29 of the Charity School of Nursing Handbook- under CSN testing policy, the Philosophy of Test Review states these items:
- “ The faculty of the School of Nursing believes that test review can be a valuable learning experience for the student. Test review provides an oppourtunity for the student to review the questions on the test and clarify material so that safe, effective nursing care can be given. It is also a means for the student to correct misinformation which led to an incorrect choice. Test review as a learning experience rests upon several premises.”
- “Test review is not used in place of regular class attendance.”
- “Students will not remove the actual copies of the test questions in any form from the room.”
- “Participants in the test review exhibit regard for others’ ideas and thoughts.”
- “Students are encouraged to obtain feedback to enhance their understanding of a subject.”
- “Faculty will have the exam with rationales available for the student to review.”
- “Any student found cheating during an exam will receive a grade of zero and may be subject to referral to the judicial process.”
In addition, page 30 of the Charity School of Nursing Handbook (under Test Review
Procedure) states,
Also, page 29 of the Charity School of Nursing Handbook (under CSN Testing Policy)
states,
We, the students, do formally request a judicial process of those students found cheating
on Nursing 235 exam 1. We understand that everyone makes mistakes, but we are Level IV students who have worked too hard to have our rights taken away due to the mistakes of a few. We need to ensure that our grades are accurate and no technical errors have occurred. We need to see the rationales in order to know what the correct choice is on the NCLEX and in our professional careers.

From a CSN alumni, I believe every student should have access to a review after an exam. This helps better prepare students for future test taking, NCLEX, and understanding why the question was wrong.
Allowing us to see our rationales allows us to grow in education and to help us become knowledgeable nurses. There is a reason we selected the incorrect answer so giving us clarification as to why it was incorrect is so important.
Absolutely agree. This should be applied to all levels! Im level 1 and it is my nursing foundation that is being jeopardized.
I wholeheartedly agree that we should be able to see rationales. It does not matter whether questions will be repeated or not, patients lives will be in our hands, so it is vital to know where we went wrong. Thank you.
I am a level 3 student, but I also feel my education would benefit from understanding where my thought processes has been disconnected from the material, especially on patient priority questions.
We don't say "this is not fair" at home but we do say when something is not right... And this is NOT right...It is not right how the faculty has handled this situation when most of us just want to finish the program. They removed the professionalism and acted personally to a situation that the majority had nothing to do with but are effected by the consequences in a negative way... I have lost respect, and we are told that nursing is a noble position... however I don't see that in this situation. It is hurting us, our families, and future patients
I just want to see this school succeed

It’s wrong to hinder our learning in the name of exam security. Cheating happens in small amount at every single school unfortunately, but which of those schools resort to such extreme measures that punish all students?
