Being accused of an academic dishonesty, integrity, or Code of Conduct violation at a nursing school in Oklahoma can have serious consequences of a student who's found responsible. Suspension or dismissal are possible even for seemingly minor offenses. Nursing is a profession involving trust because it involves patients and access to prescription drugs. If found responsible this can have a major potential impact on your ability to complete your nursing program and to become licensed.
Schools often seek to hold a student accountable with little or no evidence. Schools often do not follow their own policies, which can lead to an unfair outcome. Without an attorney-adviser to guide you through the process, you could be found responsible unfairly. If you're found responsible, even if you have the right to appeal a finding, appeal grounds are often limited and you do want to find yourself at a disadvantage.
Common areas of concern can include: Is the school following its disciplinary policies and procedures? Where you properly notified of the charges? Did you have the opportunity to review the evidence? Did you have a meaningful discussion with your instructor? For example, where you accused of cheating using an online resource? Is there an alternative explanation for the alleged misconduct? Where the academic resources and accommodations that were promised by the school provided?
Having the answers to these questions is critical to successfully defend against allegations. An experienced attorney adviser will be able to help you present the strongest possible defense against charges of misconduct and they should be involved from as early as possible in the case. Even if the allegations are true, an attorney adviser can help resolve the case and they can also help in seeking the least possible sanctions.
