I am currently a nursing student about to go into my sophomore year. After completing my first year of nursing school I'm starting to doubt if nursing is right for me. I am extremely shy and although talking to strangers and making small talk still makes me nervous I've gotten a little better at it. However, I'm still extremely awkward when it comes to touching people. We learned how to take blood pressures and give bed baths this year and even practicing on fellow students and friends was so uncomfortable and awkward for me. These are basics of nursing and I'm worried that I'll never be able to be a nurse if just these simple things are such a struggle. Is this something I will eventually become more comfortable with or is nursing just not the right profession for me? Any advice or personal stories would be extremely helpful!!
