Student Burnout

The nursing program offered at the University of Ontario institute of technology is very innovative and well planned. It provides nursing students the knowledge, theory, standard and foundation they need to become efficient and competent professional nurses in the changing world of nursing. With this being said the structure of the nursing program, I feel, is very demanding and fast paced. Students, like me, are bombarded with assignments after assignments; tests after tests. I feel that as nursing students we do not have the chance or the time to fully grasp the information we have be given, understand it and interpret it completely. We become so focused on completing assignments and attaining great marks on tests that we experience burnout very quickly. Perhaps, I feel this way because it is my first year but I am hoping that in second year the structure of the program is less stressful and that the pace is adequate and efficient. I also hope that with time I learn to adequately management my time and develop better organization skills.
