Özet
This investigation aimed to explore the correlation between the perceptions of nursing senior students regarding the nursing profession and their outlook on their future career prospects. The study sample for this descriptive and relationship -seeking research comprised 143 senior students enrolled in the nursing department of a university. The research was finalized with the participation of 105 students who satisfied the inclusion criteria and provided their consent. It was ascertained that Career Future Inventory (CFI) scores exhibited notable variations based on the students' gender, preparedness for the nursing profession, and their post -graduate employment status. The research revealed a substantial positive correlation among the CFI scale's overall score, the sub -dimensions of career adaptability and career optimism, and the total score of the Nursing Profession Perception Scale (PNPS). Furthermore, the sub -dimensions of age, gender, post -graduation work plan, and PNPS were identified as the contributing factors explaining 53.7% of the variation in the students' career plans. The study revealed that the students' perceptions of the status and the quality of the nursing profession were significant factors influencing their career plans. Consequently, it is essential to focus on fostering a positive professional perception among students by incorporating professional values and ethics into nursing education. By doing so, we can positively influence their attitudes towards the nursing profession and, in turn, enhance their career aspirations.
