Influential Factors on Nursing Career Preparation Behavior in the Post-COVID-19 Era

Abstract

In order to improve nursing students' career preparation and nursing professionalism, this study intends to identify the factors influencing nursing students' career preparation behavior in the post-COVID-19 era and to establish a foundation for preparation strategies. In order to determine the factors influencing nursing students' career preparation behavior in the post-COVID-19 era, this descriptive cross-sectional study measures major satisfaction, self-efficacy, nursing image, nursing professionalism, nursing image and intuition, and career preparation. The information was gathered via an online survey. By offering career planning and counseling based on the student's level of understanding and cognitive behaviors to foster the professional and positive attitudes that are crucial for a successful nursing career, nursing professionalism and image can be improved. To help nursing students get ready for their careers, nursing schools should include facilities, a mentorship program, and a job portal.
