Curriculum-based political and virtuous education provides value guidance and practical pathways for cultivating a sense of responsibility among nursing students. This paper, considering the new connotations of nursing professional responsibility in the post-pandemic era, systematically analyzes the current status of cultivating a sense of responsibility among nursing students from three dimensions: responsibility cognition, responsibility emotion, and responsibility behavior. It reveals practical issues, such as an imbalance in educational philosophies, insufficient integration into the curriculum, weak practical education, and a singular evaluation mechanism. Furthermore, it constructs a systematic cultivation pathway from four dimensions: philosophy guidance, curriculum integration, practical empowerment, and evaluation assurance, providing theoretical support and practical references for enhancing the quality of nursing talent cultivation and shaping nursing professionals with both virtue and skill in the new era.</abstract><keywords>curriculum-based political and virtuous education, nursing profession, cultivation of a sense of responsibility</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Sun JX, Zhang JN, Tang H, et al., 2024, Analysis of the Current Status and Influencing Factors of Social Responsibility Among Undergraduate Nursing Students in the Post-Pandemic Era.
