Great job. It’s always tough when introducing oneself. The word “introduce” can even make one nervous. I’ve learned once those feelings subside and the anxiety fades out I’m good. Shit I even add “pse...

Not a nurse but dental! If you carry yourself as a confident medical professional, your stutter will NOT matter. I noticed the more confident I carry myself the better my work ethic is. The more I wor...
