    Staff nurses have great responsibilities in caring for patients. Often, these nurses experience heavy workload. Heavy patient load and stress contributes to burnout. Why is burnout important to discuss in relation to nurses? Burnout affects the performance of the nurse and the quality of care he or she provides to the patient. Therefore, it is imperative that staff nurses decrease the possibility of burnout and increase or maintain excitement and enjoyment in the field of nursing. If nurses do so, they will find joy in their work and quality of patient care will be increased. Contributors to burnout and registered nurses’ job dissatisfaction will be discussed.

    What is reflective practice? In short, it’s a practice that helps you become an active learner. Many of us, including myself, may be considered or interpreted as passive learners. Passive learning goes a bit like this: we read textbooks, we follow everything our instructor or teacher tells us (sometimes we tune out), we write exams and then…we forget what we learned. It’s common and though not everybody goes through this, historically, it happens more often than not. However, with active learning we engage in conversations with our classmates and teacher, we ask questions, we figure out answers, we contribute and learn and teach each other. And ultimately, we engage with ourselves (and seldom tune out as a result). Oxford dictionary defines reflection as “a serious thought or consideration…an idea about something, especially one that is written down and expressed”. Reflective practice facilitates coping. From a personal perspective it is different for each of us like writing personal journals or talking on the phone with family/friends. From a professional perspective this is usually mores structured like when we complete our weekly log after a clinical day and reflect on what occurred during our time on the unit and reflect on a single moment and how we felt about it.…

    A longitudinal study found that previous healthcare experience correlated with less student stress only at the beginning of the semester.2 Younger students do not perceive more stress than older, more mature students.2 Neither age nor work experience was a factor influencing perceived stress in student nurses.3 Traditional baccalaureate students expected clinical experiences to be more stressful than they actually found them to be. Students experienced higher stress levels at the beginning of the semester than at the end of the semester.2 Both associate degree and baccalaureate nursing students perceive the clinical instructor as the primary source of stress during clinical experiences.4 Interactions with clinical instructors were highly stressful events for 45% of the 107 junior student nurses.5 The most common stressful events for them included interpersonal relationships with instructors, ability to perform, heavy workload, and helpless feelings.5 Five main themes of stress perceived by 75 students in a pediatric clinical rotation were as follows: fear of medication errors, extensive information to learn, lack of clinical knowledge, inexperience with caring for children, and clinical instructors.3 Some students experience chaos in their lives during nursing school.6 Interviews of 23 traditional baccalaureate nursing students revealed major stressors as…
