Abstract

Background: The purpose of this article is to describe the development and implementation of a program to improve well-being in undergraduate students and promote positive transitions into the workplace. College students experience anxiety, depression, and impaired coping, which were exacerbated during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. As students transition into their career, it is imperative they develop positive coping strategies and resiliency to manage workplace stress.

Method: The Personal Leadership Collective (PLC) is designed as a four-semester series for third- and fourth-year nursing and business students. Four themes guided the activities: awareness, connection, agility, and growth. Students participated in asynchronous online learning modules and in-person activities. Fourth-year students who completed the series served as peer mentors to third-year students.

Results: The program is undergoing formal evaluation. Anecdotal feedback from participants is positive.

Conclusion: The PLC is a program that could enhance professional development in undergraduate students. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
