The results obtained from this study are summerized as follows :
1. The total experience rate of 10 nursing fields was 89.7%. On which, the students-themselved practiced rate was 66.9% and the observation rate was 22.8%.
2. The students-themselves practiced rates in nelaton catheterization, measuring vital signs, position change, and intramuscular injection were 100%.
3. The highest rank of inexperience rate was colostomy irrigation(67.1%). The inexperience rates in bed bath, artificial respiration were 65.7%, 64.3%.
4. The average of degree of stress student received in 10 nursing fields : Mean score was 2.143, when maximum score was 5. The highest rank of degree of stress was suction(2.771), elimination and irrigation(2.366), and recording(2.291) were other nursing fields of higher rank. The lowest rank of degree of stress was comfort and heat therapy(1.600).
5. The degree of stress in 50 nursing activities, the highest rank of degree of stress was tracheal suction(3.120), foley catheterization(2.929), nasal, oral suction(2.739) were other nursing activities of higher rank. The lowest rank of degree of stress was cold compress(1.174).
6. In regard to the motive for majoring in nursing, the occupational stability had the highest percentage(41.4%), and self-confidence in nursing activities(M=2.89), and knowledge in nursing activities(M=2.94) were in the middle range.

Knowledge about nursing activities appeared to have reverse in the field of measuring status value(r=-.2402,P<.05).
