How to prepare for a Presentation/Speech

This is a great post. I followed much of the instructions here while I was in nursing school. I still use the "fake it til you make it" technique!! So far I haven't killed anyone! (Fingers crossed).

Thank you very much! Haha I think this is actually a thing Impostor syndrome where you have a "persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud"" . I don't think anyone actually does 'make it'!

I've never heard of that!!! I'm gonna look it up! I felt that way for two full years working in the ICU straight out of school. I felt like someone would ask me a simple question at any moment and they would find out that I don't know anything about nursing. It was kinda horrible. Especially with mean type-A bully nurses that wanted to expose me as a fraud. I'm so glad I got through that.

Kudos to you! Knowing that everyone else is just as scared to be 'found out' as you are actually brings a lot of comfort. Seniors in any field are just better at hiding it.
