Answer 1

I have extremely neat handwriting. Over time I’ve noticed it’s gotten slightly worse simply because there is a lot to write (in classrooms and clinical settings) and as long as it’s legible to you and whoever reads your writing that’s all that matters. It takes too much time and effort to write perfectly. It just needs to be enough to not affect patient care.
