Lowering Student's anxiety
How to lower student's anxiety on their first
day of clinical?
milagros, I acknowledge iit and work to help them to become comfortable in their new environment. I also encourage them to talk about feelings at the end of the clinical day.

I like to give the students the hospital/clinics protocal of the studies they will be performing, this way they are not just walking into a clinical site with any information regarding the lab. I also like to talk to each individual student about the site and give the tech's names!
Fallon,this strategy does lower your students anxiety as they find familiar names and protocols when they arrive.

I find the more information given the students the less anxious they are. They seem to love to have it all spelled out for them.
Sherrie, you have seen for yourself that anxiety is not a positive emotion for learning.
