N2 - Purpose: This study aims to assess the fear of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its influence on the students' fear of COVID-19 and intention to leave nursing school. Design and Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design using self-report questionnaires distributed to 261 nursing students from the Philippines. Findings: The first-year nursing students are found to be the most fearful among the group. The students' fear of COVID-19 is associated with their high irritability, poor sleep quality, and desire to quit nursing school. Practice Implications: Students are perturbed by the pandemic and teachers should implement supportive, teaching–learning strategies to address the student's needs.
