No. Actually from a useful factor of view of the truth that employees are too busy and relocating beds is really heavy at the again and in addition it would possibly not suitable concerning the room itself, maybe growing a fireplace threat throughout the prayer time so I feel the Health & Safety government need to be introduced into this and positioned a quit to it. It sufferers are that in poor health they can not move to a exact room designed for this reason inside the health facility then I am definite their faith will accommodate this in one other approach. What if an airline pilot & attendants are on a protracted flight what occurs at prayer time, do they change path with the airplane or what. No of path no longer, the faith ought to be extra accommodating than this. I believe that it can be a few folks intrepretation of the regulation that's somewhat awry and no longer filled with common-sense. What do Muslims right here believe in this difficulty. Surely there ought to be a extra common-sense procedure? Any strategies.

As a Nurse of 16 years....I think I see where you are going with this idea.....even though it is very vague. Nursing students have been and will continue to be the butt of every instructors jokes....they are always talked down to and in very condescending tones....your a student....prepare for your conferences and classes.....however if you feel you are being discriminated against do not tolerate it. Do not let this go until you are satisfied.

What annoys me the most about lecturers is this mentality that because they went through nursing education the hard way (mopping floors to begin with) and in their hostels, they give students a hard time wanting us to almost suffer as much as them. Grin your teeth and bear it when you graduate remember you won't turn into them and make sure you don't or this cycle of hate and bullying is never going to end.
