This free Nursing Student Weekly Wellbeing Checklist download is designed just for student nurses, with reflective prompts that help you pause, breathe, and actually process how you’re doing — emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Whether you’ve had a week from hell on placement, or you’re smashing it and want to stay grounded, this printable guide will help you:
Spot early signs of stress and burnout
Reflect on your personal and professional growth
Make time for self-care and recovery
Build self-awareness without overwhelm
Print it. Stick it in your placement folder. Fill it in with a cup of tea on a Sunday night. Because looking after your patients starts with looking after yourself.
Grab your free copy below and start checking in with yourself, one week at a time.
These are 20 questions you can ask yourself at the end of your nursing week to check in with yourself. This helps you to celebrate the weeks wins, focus on growth and recognise when burnout is creeping up on you.
Emotional Check-In
How am I really feeling today — emotionally and mentally?
What has been the most emotionally draining part of my week?
Did I feel supported this week — by my mentors, peers, or university?
Is there something I need to say, but haven’t?
When did I feel most like myself this week?
Time & Energy
Did I give myself any real rest or downtime this week?
Am I saying “yes” too much and stretching myself too thin?
What drained my energy this week? What gave me energy?
Have I taken time to do something just for me?
Placement Reflection
Did I feel confident and competent in practice this week? Why or why not?
Was there a moment I felt proud of myself on placement?
Is there a skill or situation I found particularly challenging?
What feedback (positive or constructive) did I receive — and how did it make me feel?
What patient experience stuck with me — and why?
Mind-Body Awareness
How did my body feel this week? (aches, tiredness, signs of stress?)
Did I eat well, sleep enough, and stay hydrated?
What physical signs of stress did I notice, if any?
Self-Compassion & Growth
What would I say to a friend who had the same week I did?
What did I learn about myself this week?
How can I be kind to myself going into next week?
