Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and recommend strategies for nursing faculty to help reduce nursing students’ anxiety in a clinical setting. High levels of anxiety during clinical can decrease learning. It is important for clinical faculty to support and promote a positive learning environment. Strategies to help reduce anxiety include providing consistent clinical placement, peer mentoring, counseling, faculty role modeling, and developing positive student and staff relationships at clinical sites.
