Abstract

Student success has been linked to a supportive academic environment and faculty involvement. The college experience can be stressful for any nursing student. Transgender nursing students experience the additional stress of being in the gender minority. This article focuses on the needs of the transgender nursing student and suggests interventions to support academic and social success.
