I could see that. The nursing profession in general ive found not to be so nice and patient. I’ve been bouncing around a few hospitals and while I try hiding my stutter, inevitably I stutter on numbers. So as you can imagine, reading blood pressures, heart rates, and reporting values such as a potassium of 7.2 makes my heart pound and my anxiety shoots through the roof. I’m still on orientation so when I have to call report, I step away with my WOW and do it in a more controlled environment, like away from the nurses’s station. After reading many people’s stories on here I’m trying hard to “accept” that this is just how it’s going to be. But I’m not going to lie, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Took me to the age of 35 to go back to school because I was terrified of how I perceived, my speech would hold me back.
