A variety of traumatic events can happen during childhood, adolescence, youth, and adulthood. Events that cause stress, and consequently perceived stress, occur at all stages of life and have an impact on health. Due to the transitional nature of college life, nursing students are more vulnerable to stress. Some people have the ability to bounce back more rapidly than others after a hard life event and find strength in the experience. Resilience is a dynamic process through which a person overcomes challenges in a healthy way. The overall perceived stress ratings go down when the resilience score is up. By strengthening their resilience, they will be better able to cope with challenges and adapt to their surroundings. Emphasizing resilience in nurses can help them better handle difficult situations.
