Background This study aimed to analyze the health status of northeastern U.S. baccalaureate nursing students. Method The sample for this cross-sectional analysis included 292 nursing students. Matriculated full- and part-time nursing students were invited to participate. Most of the sample represented individuals identifying as White, heterosexual women younger than age 25 years who lived off campus. Students across all 4 years of school were at high risk for burnout and experienced high rates of perceived stress but were satisfied with their lives. Results Significant differences were found between housing status, physical activity, and burnout (t = −3.7926, df = 154.87, p = 2.13 × 10 − 5). On-campus students ( n = 67) were significantly more active (t [65.8] = 1.69, p = .095) and less burned out than off-campus students ( n = 189, t [154.8] = −3.79, p < .001). Conclusion Future research is needed to examine academia's role in the workforce's burnout crisis, especially concerning students younger than age 25 years. [ J Nurs Educ . 2025;64(3):156–161.]
