Covid-19 Vaccine Confidence and Hesitancy in Nursing Students and Faculty at a Large Academic Medical Center.

The spring term of 2020 for colleges and universities was unprecedented in academic history due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The majority of nursing schools instructed students to return home mid-term to finish classes online while in-person clinical experiences for nursing students were concluded. Uncertainty and the associated stress about the changing academic landscape was experienced by both students and faculty and continued into the fall term when both groups returned to campus. While didactic classes were primarily conducted remotely and most nursing faculty worked from home, clinical rotations were expected to be conducted in-person at acute-care hospitals, long-term care facilities, and communities where Covid-19 exposure was greatest.
