Among the therapeutic communication techniques, empathy plays a major role that helps nurses to understand and provide care to the client. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person experiencing from within their frame of reference that is the capacity to place oneself in another’s position. The study design adopted was a comparative cross-sectional design. Total Eighty students were enrolled 20 each from the freshmen to Senior undergraduate student nurses participated in the study. Tools used were Demographic data and Jefferson Scale of Empathy. Majority of the student nurses posses above the average level of empathy. High level of Empathy was found high in the sophomore. The average level of empathy was majorly noted among the Freshmen and 1 of the Senior students only. The comparison between the Freshmen to Senior students showed that overall the sophomores (second year) were possessing a high level of empathy. Comparatively, Seniors (Fourth year) students have lower empathy than the Sophomore and the juniors but higher than the Freshman. Whereas, the Freshmen’s were found to have lower empathy than the other three group of students. In the present scenario empathy is an essential skill expected of all the nurses.
