She's new.  She's already stated that.  She's trying to do a good job.  I don't think the answer is to kick someone when they are down.  She probably has received very resourceful information here as most are willing to help newbies.  Give the girl a chance!   She's not asking a s/l or asking the board to take her test for her, she's just feeling a little frustrated.

break.  Remember the old days when we were young and just getting started?  I remember one time typing "fecal sac" instead of "thecal sac" and the doctor chewing my butt out.  That made me feel just awful.  I would never treat someone that way.  The only way to learn is to ask questions and make mistakes.
