Abstract
Students in graduate nursing programs balance family and work responsibilities with rigorous didactic and clinical courses. These demands can impact academic success and health. Graduates of our master’s in nursing and post-master’s doctor of nursing practice programs were surveyed to explore the personal stressors they experienced during their educational programs and changes in their health and health promotion habits. Personal time, sleep, exercise, relationships, and finances were negatively affected. Students described high levels of anxiety and stress. Approximately half contemplated quitting. Resources for mental health, resilience, and self-care are needed.
