Crappy writing

[cmonkey]

Were I at all interested in med school, I could totally skip the chicken-scratch handwriting course. Alas, I don't wanna be a doc, so I have to do something about my writing. If I print, and I'm slow, it's fine, but I don't imagine I can take a lot of time to be super careful on a shift.

Anyone else write like a 5 year old and get over it? How'd you do it?

I have crappy writing too. I took a calligraphy class and that has helped my writing quite a bit. The worst part about this is I'm a teacher. (I'm starting nursing school this year.) My students in the past have complained that they can't read my writing on the board.

I had a charge nurse a long time ago who had beautiful printing. She taught me how. My writing is a combination of printing and script and most people tell me I have beautiful handwriting. I used to practice a lot to see if I could learn to write as well as she did. I learned be writing over and over again. At first slow but got faster the more I practiced.
