Video to accompany publication.
Nurses are concerned for their safety and conflicted about their career, because their duty to care for patients during the pandemic involved competing ethical obligations, including their own personal safety. This study explored the impact of COVID-19 on new nurses and nursing students (N = 472) in terms of safety and interest in nursing specifically related to self-efficacy, geographic region case density, and frontline experience in health care. Concerns about personal safety and the safety of others were apparent. Over time, this may lead to a decrease in willingness to enter or remain in the nursing profession.
