Hello fellow nursing students, graduates and nurses. I recently passed my comprehensive predictor on Jan 6th. At my school, passing this test with a 900 is mandatory to be eligible for state boards. I am proud to say I scored an 1123. The next day I went to pick up my cap and gown, and they informed me that I am the Valedictorian of my class and will be expected to make a speech. I never liked public speaking, and I've never had to write this type of speech. I am nervous, has anyone else had to write one? Does anyone have any ideas or insight to help me?? Graduation is Jan 22nd, and my speech is due by Jan 18th, all in the meanwhile i am trying to keep myself up on practicing for my NCLEX.. any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!
