Abstract

This study investigated the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on novice pediatric nurses at the beginning of their careers. Nurses reported symptoms of fear and difficulty with daily functioning such as trouble sleeping, stress, and worry. Nurses experienced dysfunctional thinking about COVID-19 in July 2020; however, symptoms improved 3 months later.
