Questions about nursing programs in general

[tbrown1]

Hi,

I was recently accepted into one of the best nursing programs in Georgia and I am so exicted but nervous at the same time.

I have a couple of questions for all those current nursing students out there or those who have recently graduated..

1. Did you have to give alot of presentations and or speeches? I am a very shy person and I don't know if I can handle speaking in front of a group of people:o

2. What are some of the hardest parts about the program ie. instructors, studing for tests, etc.

Any comments are appreciated!!!!!!

Hi in the program im in it depends on the teachers on what presentations there might be. I am also frightened by giving speeches and presentations but I just did what I had to do to get the courage to speak in front of class. It is kinda weird that I could speak to the group as a normal converation but get up and speak on a topic I get nervous kinda silly huh? But take some deep breathes before you do it practice your speech in a mirror or on your pets if you have any or other willing helpers and you will do fine. One key is to know your topic that you are speaking about. Now that said I have to give a presentation in clinical about conflict management so I should be looking up information on this and how I am going to present this. lol

Just remind yourself that you can do it and you will be fine.
