What areas of the course have, or do you think will, create stress for you?
As students we face many challenges and stressors. However as a nursing student we
are likely to experience even more stress than our friends and colleagues enrolled in
other programs. In addition to contending with assignments, grades, long hours of
studying, work, family and other personal commitments we are also faced with the
challenges of clinical practice. To me clinical practice are one of the most anxiety
producing components in nursing program. Lack of experience, fear of making
mistakes, difficult patients, discomfort at being evaluated by registered nurses,
worrying about giving patients the wrong information or medication and concern
about possibly harming a patient are just a few of the stressors for me at the beginning
of my nursing career.
