Nurse educators are critical players in assuring quality of nursing education. They experience ever-changing health care environment while preparing the nursing work. If they are prepared to face this, quality of care provided to individual and community would improve. The aim of this study is to compare the stressors face and coping strategies used by nurse educators in the Military nursing school, with their peers in technical nursing schools affiliated to the Ministry of Health in Alexandria. The study was conducted on 25 Military nurse educators and 52 nurse educators of technical nursing schools of Ministry of Health. A structured interviewquestionnaire was developed to collect the needed data. The study results revealed high level of stress among nurse educators of the Military nursing school regarding work shifts, sharing in the military training for parades and ceremonies. However, high level of stress was predominant among nurse educators of the nursing schools affiliated to the Ministry of Health with low salary, no chance for job promotion and inadequate supplies and equipment in clinical fields. The study recommended offering appropriate fringe benefits and to conduct stress relieve programs.
