    CC Wisconsin replied to Katniss88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Clinical instructor said I'm too quiet

    CC Wisconsin replied to jes07's topic in General Students

    I was totally quiet when I started clinicals...I was just so nervous! Now when I head into clinicals, I'm much more outgoing. I think it has to do with your confidence and how comfortable you feel in...

    I 100% agree with you...the mindset you need for NCLEX-style questions is so different from other tests. All of the answers can be correct, but which is MOST correct? Ughhh. When I first started...
