I’m in India and have 2 yrs of work experience. I want to do MBA (preferably in India) but can’t seem to crack any entrance exams. I’m just not good at it. I’m an intelligent person .. always top of my class. Any suggestions what I can do? I’m stuck in a rut with this job

If you want to do an MBA, I'd suggest getting an MBA from a western country where they take a more holistic view at your application.

I am the opposite, I am not very intelligent but I am a good test taker - so it was easy for me to succeed in India but struggled in a US setting

Why not move abroad ?

Family reasons

Look into some executive MBA

Yeah IIM exec mba accepts at min 3 years with a CAT score 🙄

What is your motivation for doing a MBA?

Career progression and also moving on from what I m presently doing

I have used butterfly needles for phlebotomy since the beginning of my Nursing career. I recently switched jobs and my current employer doesn’t want to buy butterfly needles as they are more expensive than the straight needles. They have asked that we start using the straight needles and even took away the last butterfly needles we had. I feel anxious and uncomfortable doing phlebotomy on everyone with the straight needle. Should I mention this to my manager? How can I approach this situation?
