ANSWER

Maintaining your own integrity as a professional nurse is an essential part of your career. Despite knowing the consequences for an academic integrity infraction, why do some students still falsify their work?

Although academy integrity is very important and drilled into us from an early age, some students still cheat and falsify their work while being aware of the consequences. Although cheating might look like the easy way out for some, the consequences are far greater than failing a class. Majority of schools have policies against cheating and the punishment can vary from expulsion to legal action depending on the severity and the type of the cheating. Although some cheating is nefarious in nature can occur because of the desire to get good grades
