title: Analysis of stressful clinical and didactic incidents reported by returning registered nurses.
abstract: Although stress is an important issue for the returning or entry registered nurse, seldom is stress management discussed with students. This paper describes a study designed to identify and rank stressful clinical and didactic experiences of returning female registered nurses enrolled in baccalaureate degree nursing programs. A content analysis of critical incidents reported by these re-entry women is the focus of this paper.
