This study aimed to describe the resilient profile of pre-entry students to the Bachelor of Nursing career. The research was descriptive, cross-sectional, using a sample of 129 students who entered the Nursing Bachelor's degree for the first time at the Nursing School of the University of Panama. For data collection, the adapted Arrieta resilience questionnaire (Y. González, 2017) was used, who presented a construct validity with 33.07% explained variance and three dimensions; and a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.84. 61.0% of the students are resilient, who do not have challenging situations and who live with their parents. Students who have presented challenging situations are those who have favorably developed problem solving and those who have not faced these situations are those who lack the support of significant people and have not developed decision-making. Students who have faced adversity situations have the family support network and significant others and have difficulties in solving problems. Those who do not present adversity situations present facilities to solve problems and have family support and empathy development. Students who live with their parents or relatives are supportive and develop empathy, while those who live with another person develop problem solving.
