Abstract: Manifestations of stress have serious consequences for nursing professionals beginning withnursing students. [1, 2] One source of stress for baccalaureate nursing students is inappropriatepatient sexual behavior (IPSB). [3, 4] Baccalaureate nursing programs have limited responseframeworks to provide support to affected students. High levels of stress, regardless of duration orfrequency, can affect learning, performance, and retention in nursing programs. [1, 3] Manystressful incidents experienced by nursing students do not meet parameters of existing studentsupport policies, including Title IX or early alert programs since they occur in clinical sites offcampus. Repetitive high-stake stressors encountered by nursing students increase risks fordeleterious health outcomes. [1–4] Therefore, policy changes at university, state, and federal levelsto build resilience, health, and wellness for undergraduate nursing students must be developed andimplemented.
