If I sued my university everytime my professors act like assholes I would be rich.

RE: Perhaps
It is even worse than just being too stupid.  If one cannot handle stressful situations, one cannot be a nurse.  People could fucking die if they made her a nurse, if she cannot handle stress.

Fortunately, courts usually are not so incredibly stupid as to fail to realize that worthless students are unhappy about their grades because they are worthless students.

That's 15 minutes from where I live.  Sadly, it's in the next county over, so we won't get the case in our courthouse.


If anyone cares to read it, here's the local spin (complete with comments section Big Grin):

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Quote:alleging she “broke down and wept more than once” during a final exam because her professor didn’t do enough to help her.

It's been a long time since college but I can't recall my professors "helping" at all.  It was my job to pass the tests.

What I want to know is this:  Who is going to be helping her patients, if she becomes a nurse, when she breaks down and weeps?

She is a fucking idiot and the lawyers too. They have tests for a reason.

Is this implying she is disabled?

I was wondering maybe if she was claiming her anxiety was a disability.
