      Entry Level

      "During my nursing internship in an emergency department, I was sure to take the time to examine how I felt after a shift. I understand as an LPN that I must address my emotions right away and never let them bubble up. I like to write, so I plan to use journaling as an outlet for any feelings that need resolving after an emotionally charged shift."

      Answer Example

      "As a Licensed Practical Nurse, I realize my delivery of care is crucial for positive patient outcomes. This thought can be stressful, but I always try to compartmentalize my stress and channel it healthily. I have a strong support network among my coworkers. Outside of work, I utilize a gym membership and use exercise to help relieve some of the stresses of the day."

      Experienced

      "Any job can be stressful at times; however, as LPNs, we handle some of the most delicate patient care situations. If I work an especially stressful case, I know that it is ok to reach out to co-workers within the unit and ask for help when needed."
