Data collection was conducted from November 1 to November 28, 2014. A structural questionnaire were completed by 107 nursing students of 4th year in B city and G city. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. The mean value of the study was as follows: core competencies, 3.57; nursing professionalism, 4.22; and employment strategies, 3.69. A positive relationship was observed between the core competencies and nursing professionalism (r=.401, p<.001), core competencies and employment strategies (r=.559, p<.001), and nursing professionalism and employment strategies (r=.465, p<.001). The factors affecting the employment strategies of the study participants were core competencies (${\beta}=.43$, p<.001), nursing professionalism (${\beta}=.28$, p=.001), school score (${\beta}=-.19$, p=.011), which explained approximately 42% (F=24.82, p<.001).
