  8. Freaked out and wanting to quit

    Scarlettz replied to Ctay's topic in General Students

    I am sort of the opposite. I liked the lectures. But, I hate clinical! I never felt as incompetent and fearful as I am in clinical. I try my best, but no matter what I always feel awkward when having...
