Abstract 

This study surveyed the health behaviors of 159 nursing students. The major finding of this study is that there is a need for improvement in the areas of physical activity and weight control. Recommendations include nursing educators addressing these behaviors within the curriculum if future nurses are to model healthy behaviors for patients, as well as encouraging staff educators to continue to emphasize healthy behaviors.
