4. I'm Stuck - Need to Make a Quick Decision

   Bell13 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Nurse Beth gave you bad advice. I agree with above, school cannot change curriculum for the time period you enrolled. They can change it for incoming students but not existing. Make a stink and do not give up without a fight!

5. Should I give up my dream job or risk my marriage?
