#380: Conquer 6 Types of Nursing School Anxiety


Listen Later

Let’s face it. Nursing school is intense, and anxiety can creep in from every corner—whether it’s math exams, clinical rotations, or managing an overwhelming workload. But here’s the good news - you *can* take control of that anxiety and even start to enjoy your nursing school journey.  


In this episode, I’m breaking down the top sources of anxiety nursing students face and sharing actionable tips to help you tackle them, including:  

  • Conquering math anxiety (spoiler: it’s more common than you think!).  
  • Managing those nerve-wracking skills check-offs like a pro.  
  • Feeling confident in clinical and sim lab, even when you’re out of your comfort zone.  
  • Staying organized to keep workload anxiety at bay.  

  • We’ll also chat about why these feelings are totally normal and how to reframe them as opportunities to grow.
