Knowledge is power we
are told; but that if it is applied and publicized for the benefit of humanity.
Applied knowledge further enriches our lives and enlarges the sphere of human
existence. In the University setting, the pursuit of knowledge is the province
of scholars and their students, who have mandate themselves as purveyors of
truth.
On
a media chat with a member of Year 4 class, Ekene Ogwuike about the highly
controversial NUNSA Anti-malpractice committee and the response of students to
its existence, he posited that ‘’
Nursing students study ethics and jurisprudence that talks about malpractice,
they study the legal aspects of Nursing and its implications, what then is the
need of engaging in examination malpractices? ’’.
He
went further to posit that ‘’If you can
cheat in the exam hall, then you can steal, you can lie and you can kill, how
then will you be able to practice in a profession that deals with human lives
and connotes several legal litigations and indemnities? The more you engage in exam malpractices, the
more you don’t value your intellect, and your self esteem is dragged to the
mud.
Being independent makes you someone of value
and that makes you worth something, but when you lose your independence in
little task like sitting for your exams, what then will be the essence of
Autonomy as stated in Nursing Professional ethical code of practice when you
become a certified practitioner ?’’.
He
summarized with the statement, ‘’ Stop
cheating in exams, cheating only gives you
A PAPER DEGREE, education and learning gives you a value.’’
that has ears should hear!!!......
