Research Blog #15: Final Abstract and Bibliography

Abstract:
My research paper focuses on how studying nursing can actually lead to serious risks. Although my paper states that all college students are predisposed to feeling stressed out, I strongly emphasize how nursing students have a tendency to experience more stress than the average student who is not in a professional area program. Therefore, the central idea of my research paper is that since nursing students are at a heightened risk for feeling stressed out, they are indeed also more at risk for having depressive and/or suicidal thoughts. The reason for them being at an increased risk is a result of long study hours, limited personal time, feelings of worry and doubt, difficult clinicals, and pressure to not fail. Attempts to lessen the occurance of this problem have been made. Nursing students can be helped academically and mentally through their rigorous curriculums with the help of an authority figure. However, the students must first realize that someone is willing to help them, rather then them feeling like the ones who constantly needs to do the caregiving.
