Time Management in Fourth-Semester Nursing Students

Abstract

Time is a variable of great importance in the life of each individual, we are all governed by it and our activities are determined by time. We often hear people say that there is not enough time to do all the established tasks or that time flies, we fill ourselves with commitments that are impossible to fulfill, in addition to this we are held responsible for delivering things as soon as possible but that require several hours of work. , causing compliance, but without achieving the required quality, which leads to the question of whether adequate time management is being done. When we are in academic training, the tasks that must be completed are extensive and within an established time. Nursing students are no exception, alternating classes and clinical practices make their school time complicated and they must give priority to those activities that require their full participation, since in the morning shift they attend classes and in the afternoon they go to hospital practices or vice versa, leaving little time for other tasks they must perform, even for leisure. The objective of the research was to analyze students' time management. Data was collected by administering an online questionnaire to students in the aforementioned program.
