When I was in my last semester in nursing school to become a RN, I asked my manager to let me leave one hour earlier from work on Tuesdays because I will have a test on those days, and she said and I quote: "can you not take the test?" I just looked at her for a good 10 seconds in shock and said calmly, So what is the purpose of me going to school if I don't take the required tests in order for me to pass; and for the record, before I started nursing school we had an agreement that my scheduled will be flexible.
