This morning I went to start my car and I got nothing, no clicks, no crank, nothing. I may have left the dome light on all night. Would that be enough to drain my battery and if so is it ruined? If I can get it jump started, will the 15 minute drive to work be good enough to charge the battery so I can start it again to go home?

Yes the light on will cause battery to drain. You can get it jump started if you let it charge about 5 minutes. The 15 minute drive may not be enough to charge the battery though because we don't know how old it is or what shape it's in. You wold best to to put a low charge on it or jump at work then charge at home.

Slow charging the battery is the way to go. Once charged have it tested to make sure it is holding the charge.
