Nursing students face a unique and overwhelming set of challenges. Between an incredibly heavy academic workload, the high-pressure environment of clinical practice in hospitals, and the looming fear of adapting as new nurses, the risk of burnout is exceptionally high.
To combat this severe stress and anxiety, the Department of Nursing at Busan Daedong College took a proactive approach. They organized a special Ma-eum Su-ryun meditation program designed specifically to help their students clear their minds and build emotional resilience. Here is a look at the program and the profound impact it had on the students.

💬 Real Transformations: Student Testimonials
The results of the 8-week training were remarkable. By learning how to discard their stress and negative minds, the students completely shifted their perspectives on both their lives and their future careers.
Here are a few of the powerful educational reviews submitted by the participating sophomores:
“I am now able to provide much higher-quality nursing care.” “As a nurse, we heal physical wounds, but we cannot heal mental wounds. However, through this training, I learned how to heal the mind as well, and by recommending it to patients, I feel I can provide much higher-quality nursing care. The 8 weeks were not a waste of time.” — Park, Sophomore
“I think I will be happy for 80 years!” “I was very exhausted both physically and mentally because of the clinical practice, but it was great to be able to let go of and discard the hardships. It was an 8-week training, but I feel like I will be happy for 80 years.” — Park, Sophomore
“Now I practice with a smile.” “Looking back on my life while doing Ma-eum Su-ryun, I regretted why I had lived like that. Even during clinical practice, I used to get very upset when my mistakes were pointed out, but after discarding those feelings according to the method, I started practicing with a smile again.” — Kim, Sophomore
“An opportunity to look back on my life.” “I realized that instead of living faithfully in this world, I was trapped in my own thoughts and failed to form genuine human relationships. For the first time in my 21 years of life, I looked back on my life and found both the doubts I had about nursing and the answers to them.” — Eom, Sophomore
