The wellbeing of healthcare students, and particularly of nursing students, is an international and national concern. After presenting the concept of health and its evolution, we consider these training courses, with a particular focus on evolution of the status of nursing students. This is characterized in France by the recent influence of the integration of this training into university curricula. The study of the literature demonstrates the vulnerability of these health students to psychological disorders such as burnout, anxiety, and depression, which are often associated with sleep disorders and addictive behaviors.
