abstract: To teach registered nurses in a baccalaureate degree program effectively, educators need to be knowledgeable of the various coping methods used by these re-entry students in response to academic and clinical stress. This article describes a study designed to identify coping methods of registered nurses enrolled in programs designed for beginning students in nursing and programs designed to build on prior nursing education.
