I always have really good connections with my patients; I'm always smiling, I try to be as polite as I can be, and I look 16 and some patients think that's cute. My main issue is that I'm male and I feel that it must be extremely awkward for a female patient to have me give her a 5min assessment, for example. I also look like a high schooler and I feel like they're too scared for me to do anything to them because I'm "too young", but I'm 20. I really wanted to administer an IM, or SC injection last clinical, but I could sense that my Nurse did not trust me to do an of it; although I've practiced in class. I just need to step my game up and just do it! Does anyone have any confidence-building tips, or just any general clinical tips that not only I, but other readers could use?
