UPDATE: Nursing Mom Gets Extra Time For Test

Here is an update on the story of Sophie Currier, the nursing mother of a 4-month old, who sued the National Board of Medical Examiners, because they would not allow her extra breaks to pump, during her nine hour medical licensing exam. 

An appeals court judge ruled on Wednesday, that she must be given extra time for breaks. 

Good for Sophie, for challenging the ruling, and it looks like she missed her first test date, since she was suing, but is set to take the test now on October 4th and 5th.  Good luck to her on the exam, and this is a great story on how one person CAN make a difference.
