Abstract

Objective: To understand the experience of nursing students at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: A exploratory study with a qualitative approach was carried out with 36 nursing students in a Brazilian public university. The data were collected by videoconference, and the semi-structured interviews were submitted for content analysis. Results: Two categories emerged: “Being a nursing student in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and emergency remote teaching” and “Transformations in students' daily lives at the beginning of the pandemic”. The students' experiences were exhausting and stressful, interfering with their health and well-being. The participants' daily lives were marked by changes, especially in the experience with emergency remote teaching, which required the development of adaptive strategies. Conclusion: The planning and use of health promotion strategies and continuous support for students who experienced the context of the pandemic through nursing programs become important.
