What Is A Stressful Time During The Nursing Program

Decent Essays
I am sure everyone in the nursing program agrees with you that the past 2 years was the toughest time of our life. We all feel guilty for not spending much time and even neglect our love ones for the past two years. This is a stressful yet very rewarding time of our life during the nursing program. I wanted to take a huge chill pill and relax with my family as you have indicated as well; but I cannot do that until I pass my NCLEX exam. I need to study very hard for the next month in order for me to feel confidence to pass my NCLEX. I have been telling myself that the end of stressful time is coming to an end; but I will never forget all the hard work that I have been through during the nursing program. I hope you will be able to find a nursing

    Within the next ten years, more than one million registered nurses in the United States will be eligible for retirement. This will potentially leave the nursing profession with the largest shortage in history. The need for health care is only growing due to the aging baby boomer population. “Nursing researchers have noted that the projected nursing shortage, if not rectified, is expected to affect health care cost, job satisfaction and quality patient care” (Lartey, 2014, p. 1027). Without an adequate number of nurses’ patient safety is at risk, resulting in medical errors due to understaffing.…

    Literature Review Related to The Nurse Residency Program (NRP) at Meridian Healthcare System: Transition from Novice to Expert Evidence-Based Literature For the new graduate nurses, the initial years of employment are an important period that determines whether they will transition from being a novice nurse to being an expert, or even a competent staff nurse. This period is also characterized by adjustment or high stress, which are factors that determine whether an individual will quit or remain entirely in the nursing profession (Berman, Johnson & West, 2014).

Since my current work schedule is flexible with my working hours, I am able to take time off for my studies and prepare myself for test and/or exams.

    Nursing, from the perspective of a first-year nursing student, is a profession that is underestimated. Nurses are the backbone of all health care facilities; without them, quality of care would greatly decrease. Through the influence of maternal figures in my family, along with an inherent interest in health care and a strong desire to care for others, I was drawn to the profession of nursing. However, a nurse requires more than merely an interest and the desire to care for others. During my first few months as a nursing student, my understanding of nursing, or lack thereof has come to light.…
