DALLAS TOWNSHIP — A nursing student is suing some Misericordia University officials after she failed to pass a course twice.
Jennifer Burbella of Stroudsburg said school officials failed to abide by federal law.
Burbella was enrolled at Misericordia University in Luzerne County, but her attorney saidbecause of disabilities including anxiety, depression, and stress, she needed help.
According to the federal lawsuit, Burbella asked for help including extended time to complete exams, and communication with a professor during a test.
She said Misericordia officials did not follow through on those things, so she failed to pass the required course, not once, but twice.
At one point, according to the lawsuit, Burbella tried to call her professor during the examination. When that professor did not answer, a witness saw Burbella "…on several occasions during the exam…breaking down and crying."
Misericordia University officials told Newswatch, "We do not comment on matters of litigation," but others are talking about it.
Burbella's attorney said his client's disabilities should not keep her from being a nurse.
"I think many people suffer from anxiety, depression, and those types of things who are doctors, lawyers, nurses," said McGrath."
According to the lawsuit, Burbella is seeking in excess of $75,000 in damages, but her attorney said what she wants more than anything is a chance to take the exam again.
"She's not looking for the university to ordain that she get this degree, she's looking for a fair opportunity, which the statute provides, to take the exam. If she fails it that's her own problem and she has to deal with it," said McGrath.
在達拉斯小鎮，一個照顧護士系門生兩次掛科以後，告狀了幾名米塞裏科迪亞大學的校引導。
斯特勞斯堡的詹妮弗·波貝拉控告校方沒有遵照聯邦司法。
波貝拉被澤恩郡的米塞裏科迪亞大學登科，然則她的狀師說受焦炙、懊喪、壓力等所困，她須要一些贊助。
依據這起聯邦訴訟案件，波貝拉要求贊助，個中包含延伸測驗時光和在測驗中和傳授交換。
她說米塞裏科迪亞大黌舍方並無做到這些工作，以是她才沒有經由過程必修課程，還不止一次。
從某種水平上說，依據訴訟來看，波貝拉曾在測驗中試圖呼喚先生。當時候先生並無授與答復，一眼見者看到波貝拉"曾屢次在測驗中瓦解和嗚咽。"
米塞裏科迪亞大黌舍方告知《消息視察員》說："咱們不會對訴官司件做出批評，"然則其別人仍然在評論辯論這件事。
波貝拉的狀師說，他客戶的殘疾並不克不及阻攔她成為一個護士。
我以為許多人好比大夫、狀師、護士們都邑被焦炙、懊喪等等之類的工作困擾著，"麥葛萊思說。
依據這告狀訟案件來看，波貝拉請求跨越75,000美元的補償金，但她的狀師說，她最想要的是一個再次加入測驗的機遇。
麥葛萊思還說："她並非在探求一個光拿學位的大學，而是在探求一個可以或許給她一個公正的機遇的大學，而且它的章程劃定要測驗。假如她掛科了，這便是她本身的題目，她必需本身去辦理。"
