Reply To: Managing DNP students stress

[Mayra]

Hi Gabriela,

This is a topic not discussed enough, during seminar week I spoke to a few of our classmates to address how they are managing their time with us working stull full-time yet doing schooling full-time. I know some of us are doing the part-time route but reality is that the program turns into full-time after core classes are completed. This can be stressful because if we do not have a strong support system then we might be discourage to continue or may affect our grading. It is important to seek outside resources and take time for self-care even if it is for a few hours. It is crucial to fulfill our own cup before we can fill someone else’s.
