Q: I am nurse and my previous director was not welling to allow me practice same as others, is it discrimination?

A: It sounds like you may have experienced unfair treatment in your previous job, and it's understandable that you're concerned. Discrimination occurs when someone is treated differently because of a protected characteristic such as race, gender, age, or disability. If you believe your director's actions were based on one of these factors, it may be worth exploring whether discrimination played a role in how you were treated compared to other nurses.

On the other hand, differences in management decisions or preferences about work styles, without any connection to a protected characteristic, may not necessarily rise to the level of unlawful discrimination. The fact that she hired a friend could raise concerns about favoritism or unfair treatment, but that isn't always considered discrimination under the law unless linked to those protected characteristics.

It might help to speak with an attorney who can review the specifics of your situation and offer more personalized guidance. If you feel your treatment was unjust, it's important to understand your rights and whether you can take legal action.

A: In order for your director's action to be considered a discrimination, her actions in denying you the practice must be based on legally protected characteristics (e.g. race, religion, ethnicity, age (over 40), sex, sexual orientations, etc.) She did not allow you to practice as the other two nurses because of you belong to one or more category of protected class.
