Is Nursing as Stressful as Nursing School?

[imjustme123]

Okay, I have a question. I am a nursing student. School is very stressful and it doesn't seem like it needs to be unless they are trying to teach us the stress of actual nursing practice. So, skilled nurses, please answer my question. Is nursing as stressful as nursing school? :)

Yes, sorry to tell you that.

At our uni your in placement for a maximum of 10 weeks. Very little liability and no one expects you to be perfect. As soon as that uniform is on you are qualified. your workload will seem impossible, confidence soars and dives (even 3 years post reg).
