Adolescence, a transitional phase of life, occurs when one individual needs to get good attention and understanding. It is one’s stage in life wherein human beings are not free from stress. This descriptive analysis, a quantitative study, employs survey questionnaires to document the stress level of students in one class at a private tertiary institution in West Indonesia. It uses purposive sampling. It employs the Student Nursing Stress Index questionnaire, consisting of 18 statements that have been modified by Zazirotul with a calculated validity value of > 0.633. Respondents to this study are thirty-four adolescent freshmen nursing students. Each respondent’s answers from the questionnaire are summarized and interpreted as a stress rating, namely: mild stress (18-42), moderate stress (43-66), and severe stress (67-90). Stress levels range from mild to moderate to severe. This study reveals that all respondents experience stress (from mild stress to severe stress levels). Thus, this suggests that respondents should have strategies to cope with and deal with stress to minimize each stress level and be able to manage school activities. Also, it suggests that further study may employ another measurement tool aside from the Student Nursing Stress Index to check students’ stress levels and increase the number of respondents.
