Student sues after failing course twice

[Good Knight Sweetheart]

This special snowflake got extra time to take the exam, and other considerations, but apparently having anxiety and poor concentration is a disability.

The professor is obviously RACIST!!!

What kind of college is this? I don't know if schools for the mentally challenged should produce nurses. Clearly this should be a school for business and psychology (perhaps criminal justice as well).

As Daniel Tosh says, "Don't you love it when people in school are like, 'I'm a bad test taker.' You mean you're stupid. Oh, you struggle with that part where we find out what you know? I can totally relate see, because I'm a brilliant painter minus my god awful brushstrokes. Oh, how the masterpiece is crystal up here but once paint hits canvas I develop Parkinson's."

So the girl who can't make it through an exam without breaking down and crumbling emotionally wants to enter a profession where you're required to quickly and professionally work with people in potential medical emergencies?

Sure, she's just the person I want administering my IV if I enter the ER with a critical injury.

Just imagine if she was drawing blood. If you winced she'd breakdown and cry on the floor.

Lawyers that take on this type of garbage need to be disbarred.

There is such a thing as being a bad "test-taker" people can be good at applying knowledge but not regurgitating information. Though i'd say this is far over-used by stupid people.

Article doesn't start with "Florida man..." so it must be fake. Moving on.

My wife is an alum of this university. Absolutely beautiful campus in the middle of what can only be called the taint of the US. When my wife went there it was an all girls catholic school. It is ridiculously expensive to go to as evidenced by the fact that we are still paying for it 20 years after she graduated..

I say all of that to illustrate that this is a university for people with money so the lawyer here is probably daddy's hooker hunting partner who is trying to save face for why his daughter is waiting tables at his own country club instead of being a nurse until she sucks off the right doctor to get married and pop out more little tax shelters.

That part of the country, it is easy to be rich. You can buy a 6+ bedroom, 4,000 square foot home for the price of a townhome down here. You can hire a team of gardeners for the cost of 1/2 a homeless person and a bush hog down here. They all think they are special too.

Pretty much EVERY school has a Disability Services office where if you suffer from diagnosed (by a healthcare professional, not your mommy) anxiety or ADHD or whatever, they make special accommodations to prevent this stupidity.

Yes, you'd have to wait longer and must stop bleeding before she starts with the IV or push the drugs you need.

Excuses. If you can't "regurgitate information " how in the hell can you apply it? Now if you want to say that being creative in finding solutions doesn't require application of rote memory, then I would agree. But in nursing, there is a bunch that I would hope they know without having to refer to a manual.

Most (real) musicians can play a gazillion notes and modes and scales but wouldn't be able to tell you which or how.

Yes. That is what I meant.and I definitely wasn't talking about this girl, or nursing. Just as a generalization.

Yeah, we sold my wife's family home after her parent's died for $40,000. It had 3 bedrooms, a finished attic and a finished basement. It was a good middle-class neighborhood and we were stretching to get $40k for it.
