Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
During the Covid-19 pandemic, entrepreneurship in higher education has recently been studied on various occasions, both through discussions, seminars, workshops, and even used as lessons learned by presenting “alumni” success figures in entrepreneurship as well as bench marking . In the implementation of entrepreneurship education in tertiary institutions, facing various problems, including the issue of unemployment and the problem of providing employment opportunities, which is one of the fundamental problems in national development (Wiratno, 2012).
The obstacle faced in the national development process is the high unemployment rate in the world as a result of increasingly difficult jobs, especially in big cities (Setiawan & Sukanti, 2016) . Based on the results of surveys Population Inter- Census (SUPAS) the number of people in Indonesia in 2020 was as much as 269.6 million inhabitants , the number of unemployed reached 7 million people per August 2019. It is assumed there are factors that influence it, namely: competency skills of college graduates yet meet the needs of the labor market, and are more dominant in looking for work than creating jobs (Wiratno, 2012). The influence of the role of youth in Sucipto & Nasution’s (2017) research on poverty reduction and unemployment is considered important and has a positive effect, namely in the form of entrepreneurship.

Where students are part of the youth is the basis for the development of a variety of problem-solving nation for example provide jobs for others. In addition to preparing the curriculum compulsory national education entrepreneurship in all majors at universities high , the government held several program development of entrepreneurship to students. Entrepreneurship programs that have been carried out by the government must be put to good use by students in tertiary institutions, especially graduate students and students majoring in nursing because entrepreneurship courses are the core curriculum of the Nursing profession.

The government policy is that health workers who already have a Registration Certificate ( STR ) can only carry out health service activities and work, while STR can be obtained if each health worker has a certificate and competency test certificate given to students after passing the education program exam and competency test. Graduates p nurses who do not have STR impact on the high unemployment rate in the nursing profession.
