Stress among the nursing students is acknowledged as one of the most important issues in the modern world. Nursing students are frequently exposed to various stressors which may be directly or indirectly impede their learning and performance. The nature of nursing education faces challenges that may help the nursing students to overcome their stress. Knowledge on student nurse’s stress levels, its sources, and stress responses would serve as an important input in identifying and planning effective interventions and strategies to reduce or prevent stress among student nurses which in turn would facilitate their performance and learning both in academic and clinical area.Keywords
