My understanding of why her boyfriend left his senior year of nursing was that he was asked to stay away by the institution and therefore could not proceed. My interpretation of that was that the institution did not want the media attention or they were afraid that others on his nursing course or the wider college would then panic and refuse to attend. So for me this reinforces the superstition/hysteria associated with ebola in the US, particularly as nursing necessarily is science so one might think that if there was anywhere that would support science-based pragmatism, a nursing school would seem a likely candidate.
Sam, I didnt take the boyfriend being asked to leave because of hysteria. I understand the stance the school took was to keep him out to prevent further disruption, either by his own presence or of the media. The students don't have much time to learn the modules as the course moves along fairly quickly. Without him there the students could concentrate on their lectures & practical demonstration labs without all the stuff happening outside. I'm sure they were also concerned about him being there & being exposed to his girlfriend. But over all I don't think the schools position was hysteria based. The students have exams to write & material to learn before they do that. I remember burning the midnight oil & not sure if I had a lot of distractions & many questions from my own family & friends how frustrated I would have been to have to deal with it. I'm going in circles with my response for which I apologize. Im not feeling so good tonight & my thoughts are all over the place. But I think you get what I'm saying.
