   nurseandtell replied to Tanny22's topic in Job Hunt

   It sounds like you are doing the right things, by getting practice tools and a private tutor. It's okay to fail, we fail in all aspects of our life, but all that matters is how we bounce back. Anxiety is all too real and can be debilitating. Try us...
