Nervous About Going Back To School For Nursing Because of My Stutter Title basically says it all. I decided to go back to school for nursing in January and am having second thoughts because I’m afraid of looking like a fool because of my stutter. If I’m being honest, I’ve run away from a lot of public speaking opportunities because of negative past experiences, and I’m honestly done running. But the fear of looking like a fool is still present. Any advice? P.S. Would going to a speech therapist help?
