The results of measuring anxiety in nursing profession students found that most of the students had anxiety in the moderate category (55.00%). These results indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has a real impact on student anxiety. This is due to the fear of being exposed to Covid-19 at any time. It is very important to carry out health education to the community to help the community overcome health problems or minimize the risk of health problems, including anxiety problems due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic
