Compared to students in other fields, medical students exhibit a higher prevalence of anxiety symptoms, which negatively affect their quality of life and academic performance. To investigate anxiety and negative emotional states among nursing students at the School of Nursing, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, we conducted a cross-sectional analytical study with a random sample of 150 bachelor’s and diploma students from years I to IV. We utilized the 20 item Spielberger State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (Hanín & Spielberger) and a 20 item Negative Emotional States Scale, with data processed using SPSS 23.0. In our sample, 94.0 % were female (n=141) and 6.0 % male (n=9), distributed as follows: I-year 38.0 % (n=57), II-year 19.3 % (n=29), III-year 27.3 % (n=41), IV-year 15.3 % (n=23); mean age was 20.69 ± 3.57 years. The mean negative emotion score was 49.69 ± 4.48 (range 36.00–62.00). Older students showed significantly lower negative emotion scores (r = –0.243, p = 0.003), while anxiety levels were not age-dependent (p = 0.624). Anxiety assessment placed 37.3 % (n=56) in the low category, 62.0 % (n=93) medium, and 0.7 % (n=1) high. Negative emotional states were
