What Nurses are Saying About the
Stress Release Course

Jodi W.

“I have worked as an RN in many inpatient and outpatient settings over the last 30 years. I am currently a nurse educator and collaborate with hospital leadership to provide quality clinical and non-clinical education for nurses. One of the most popular educational requests during the last few years is to help nurses find strategies to improve their well being and resilience. I learned about Dr. Olpin’s Stress Release course and have referred several nurses and nurse leaders to this course. From an educational perspective, the course is well designed and provides a research-based approach to help nurses managing stress and to improve their resilience. The online course has clear learning objectives, engaging and interactive content and is interesting. It has made a difference for me and the nurses I have referred to the course.”

Jessica S.

“I am in my final year of nursing school. I have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I remember. I love everything about nursing school especially learning about the nursing process and patient care best practices. Going to my clinicals during the pandemic was intimidating and caused a lot of anxiety. I would wake up the day of my clinical and would feel panicky. My clinical instructor told me about the Stress Release course and I signed up. The course helped me understand what causes my stress and gave me specific techniques for managing my stress and anxiety. I think all nursing students should be required to take this course—it has made a huge difference for me.”

Amanda H.

“I have been a RN for over 15 years and have worked in the ICU for seven years. The last few years have been a challenge for me and my family. I took a short leave of absence because balancing my work and family responsibilities with COVID was just too much. I went back to the ICU-PRN last summer. This time I have looked for tools and resources to help me. I have found some great books and podcasts. A friend from nursing school recommended the Stress Release course-Dr. Olpin had taught a seminar at the hospital she worked at. The course has provided a unique way to manage stress and has helped me keep more balanced. I like that I can take the course using my phone.”

Hannah T.

“Being an ER nurse is fast moving and stressful. Since COVID, my stress and anxiety has become progressively worse. I was having a hard time sleeping, having feelings of dread before a shift, and was “on edge” all the time. I was not dealing with my stress well and it was even impacting my problem solving while working with my patients. I found out about the (Terra Firma) Stress Release course from a nurse friend. I have completed each module and followed all the activities. I have learned to meditate and become more mindful. This has helped me feel more capable of dealing with my stress and problem solving. Also, my sleep is getting better, and I am less on edge. This course was a good step for me being more healthy so I can continue to do the work I love.”

Suzannah M.

“I graduated from nursing school in 2019 right before the pandemic hit. Needless to say, it was a tough transition for me as I started working full time at the hospital especially with all the uncertainty of the pandemic. After my first few months in training on the medical surgical unit, I found myself feeling tired, having a reduced appetite, and was having a difficult time sleeping. I heard about the Stress Release course for nurses during a webinar sponsored by the Utah Nurses Association.”
