Descriptive statistical analysis described sample and quantitative data. Linear regression was used to examine whether media consumption, stress, affective states predicted interest in pursuing a nursing career. Qualitative thematic analysis was applied to the open\u2010ended question, \u2018How has COVID\u201019 influenced your interest in pursuing a nursing career?\u2019.
