Cultural diversity: students' perspectives.

This article is the result of the interest of several faculty members in obtaining information from students about their experiences with cultural diversity. Faculty identified a need for baseline information from the student population to assess the impact of diversity programs on campus. A small, volunteer group of 7 nursing students met for one focus group to share their experiences. The discussion supported the need for ongoing faculty-student interactions to promote cultural sensitivity and knowledge development about diversity within this university population.

Cheating must be okay--everybody does it!

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.

Does 1 + 1 still equal 2? A study of the mathematic competencies of associate degree nursing students.

Many associate degree nursing students lack basic computational mathematic ability. When a computational mathematics test was administered to more than 850 associate degree nursing students nationwide, the results were amazingly consistent. The mean student score on the Computational Arithmetic Test was 75%. The findings showed that students were mathematically underprepared, particularly in skills involving fractions, decimals, and percents, the mathematic skills necessary for medication calculation. The author also surveyed associate degree nursing faculty (n = 118) from the same schools of nursing as to how successful they felt their students would be on a computational mathematics test. The average faculty expected student performance was 88%.
