Nursing as a PWS Hi all, I’d love to know if anyone here is a nurse and their experience as a person who stutters? I have a prominent stutter that gets worse when I’m anxious, and I usually am always anxious because I have social anxiety. I really want to become a nurse and have for years, but that has been the number 1 reason I don’t major in it.
