Aim: The aim of this research was to examine personal experiences of job satisfaction and self-efficacy of students of master's degree programmes in nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to achieve progress. Participants and methods: The study involved 125 students of master's degree programmes in nursing. The majority of the sample consisted of female nurses (92%), and the rest (8%) were male nurses. The Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used for the purpose of the research, and the respondents had to answer several socio-demographic questions and four specially composed questions on job satisfaction and self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected in July 2021 through an online survey. Results: The majority of respondents in this research (63,2%) are satisfied with their job. They expressed the highest level of satisfaction with their relationships with patients as well as with their work equipment, whereas they were the least satisfied with their salary, the amount of daily work and the lack of evaluation of their performance. However, comparing job satisfac-tion before and during the pandemic, most participants state that it has declined. Also, the ma-jority of respondents (91,2%) claimed a high level of self-efficacy, but at the same time, 73,5% of respondents were not sure or thought they could not solve the problems faced by COVID-19 patients on their own. Conclusion: The research showed that nurses studying for master's degree in nursing are sati-sfied with their job and have a high level of self-efficacy, but are also insecure about working with SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce additional training.
