Abstract
The health and wellness of college students continues to be a growing concern. In 2018, the American College Health Association found 59% of college students report feeling high levels of stress in the past 12 months. According to the 2018 Health Minds Survey conducted at Tulsa Community College (TCC), 42.37% of students report they experienced emotional or mental difficulty more than three days in a four-week period and 44.35% have little interest in doing things several days of the week. Nursing students report high levels of stress during their nursing education as they experience stress in both the academic and clinical practice settings. Nursing students report patient care, uncertainty in new practice settings, emotional toll of caring for ill patients, and fear of making clinical errors as factors which lead to increased stress. Increased perception of stress during nursing school and as a new graduate may contribute to the shortage of nurses entering the profession.
