I think all of us go through this. I'm 30 and have stuttered all my life. With my current job, we use radios a lot, (working with military air defense systems) and have to do end of day reports in front of a lot of people. In my last position, I taught foreign soldiers maintenance on the systems, sometimes in excess of 100 people, all while going through an interpreter. It took a while to normalize all the speaking, and I still use word replacement, which I know is, "bad." But it works for me. There are good, low stuttering days, and days where I can't even say my daughter's name at home. My co-workers, have all learned to deal with it, and that's how it has happened at all of my previous (very, very many) jobs. I have only had a handful of seriously bad experiences while stuttering at my job and my personal life, now that I look back on those situations years later, they weren't even really that bad. Learn as much as you can in nursing school. Do the best to your ability, and I guarantee that nobody will think less of you because of your stutter. Own what you do, be confident in what you're saying (which I know sometimes Is hard) and nobody will second guess your opinions. If they do, prove them wrong. Sorry for the rambling
