Summary
Implementing embedded mental health counseling in nursing programs can reduce student stress and burnout. This approach supports nursing students
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Mental Health Services
- Occupational Health
Background:
- Nursing workforce faces significant turnover and retention issues, particularly among early-career nurses.
- Burnout, linked to occupational stress, is a key factor in new nurse turnover and affects nursing students pre-licensure.
- Existing research highlights the need for effective strategies to manage stress and burnout in nursing students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a detailed overview of implementing an embedded mental health counseling model in a prelicensure baccalaureate nursing program.
- To share lessons learned regarding financial and stakeholder engagement in establishing such services.
- To demonstrate how this initiative aligns with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials for professional nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Customization and resourcing of an embedded mental health counseling model.
- Implementation within a prelicensure baccalaureate nursing program.
- Focus on integrating services into existing programmatic structures.
Main Results:
- Successful customization, resourcing, and implementation of embedded mental health counseling.
- Valuable insights gained on financial and stakeholder engagement strategies.
- Demonstrated commitment to supporting student well-being and professional development.
Conclusions:
- Embedded mental health counseling is a viable strategy to address stress and burnout in nursing students.
- Successful implementation requires careful planning regarding financial and stakeholder involvement.
- This model supports the holistic development of future nurses, aligning with AACN competencies.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:27Nursing Ethical Principles II
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

01:29Nursing Code of Ethics
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...
01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
