Undergraduate nursing students are voicing high levels of test anxiety within their learning environments. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a mindfulness intervention, using systematic desensitization, on community college nursing students' test anxiety. Data were collected and analyzed with a sample of 107 students randomly selected for a control and intervention group. The intervention group, which listened to a mindfulness podcast while using muscle relaxation, had significantly lower post-intervention test anxiety scores (p <. 001) than the control group. Systematic desensitization is a type of mindfulness that nursing students can use to decrease test anxiety.
