Stress Busters: Tips for Dental Hygiene Students

Stress is something that we all feel. As students, the level of stress can be heightened to such a degree that it can have a negative impact on your success. Over the years, I have worked with students to help them overcome the stress they feel while they navigate through the program. The strategies that I find, and are probably recommended by others for success include:
  1. Develop a�?tunnel visiona�� by focusing on your goal, which is to successfully complete the program. Do not let others divert your focus (ex: hypotheticals, negativity, taking on other peoplea��s issues).
  2. If you work, ensure that your work schedule is manageable so it does not impact on your school schedule and workload.
  3. Manage your time by scheduling adequate time in your day and week for reviewing course material, studying for tests and working on assignments.
  4. Create a visual of your daily and weekly plan by putting it into a calendar, whether it is written or on your computer for easy reference.
  5. Having a�?downa�� time for non-school related activities such as exercise, relaxation, and family.
  6. Get enough sleep so you are at your best mental acuity, especially before tests and examinations. This will help you think clearly and lead to better outcomes on your assessments.
