    NancyPie posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ever since my first clinicals, I've been getting told that I act as though I'm afraid of the patients, that I'm too hesitant, and that I don't have any confidence in myself. I'm close to graduating,...

    NancyPie replied to NancyPie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NancyPie replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students
