Hi Leah!
Hoping by now your materials have come to you! How are you doing? I'm really enjoying the course...no fear about hands on...have faith, be confident in your learning, maybe volunteer at a local free clinic or somewhere a little less intimidating than a more fancy office...that's what I plan to do. I spoke with our local one and they are always happy to have volunteers because of budget cuts...you will do great! Just the fact you're willing to undertake this self study course shows you have initiative and drive...I've worked in a hospital and those two things go a long way! Hang in there, you too shall pass (the course!) Happy weekend!
