My Own Medicine: Public Speaking

Today I will be making a presentation to a group of future nursing students. I do this all the time; I mean, I teach a few courses at my college, so I was a little surprised that I had an anxiety dream last night about the presentation. It just goes to show you that anybody can get nervous about public speaking.

In my dream, I arrived at the event to find that the organizers had changed the topic on me. I was facing a forty-five minute impromptu speech! What did I do? I ran to a computer and looked up my own advice about speaking in public. Seriously!
