"I have learned to recognize the things that may cause me to feel overwhelmed and try to address them before a situation gets out of hand. For example, I always like to check my daily assignments at the end of my shift and then again the next day before a new shift begins. This helps me to stay on task and prepare for events in a timely manner without leaving me feeling overwhelmed later on."

"Being a nursing aide does require the ability to multitask while handling situations that may create stress. I feel it is important to know our own personal strengths and weaknesses. For instance, I am very detail oriented and like to keep written records to refer to. I like to make sure that I know what activities and assignments are scheduled for my shift are and make sure that I have a mental list of what needs to be done and in what order. It makes most situations less overwhelming."
