The purpose of this study is to describe the mediating effect of career decision level on the relationship between career decision self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of nursing students. The subjects of the study were data collected from 108 nursing students in 3rd and 4th grade and analyzed. The factors affecting career preparation behavior of nursing college students were career decision self-efficacy (β= .54, p<.001) and career decision level (β =.23, p=.009). Career decision-making levels were found to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between efficacy and career readiness behavior (Z=2.49, p=.006). The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to improve the career decision-making self-efficacy and the level of career decision-making for effective career preparation behavior, and it is necessary to develop strategic career guidance and program that reflects this.

The most influential factor influencing nurses' professional nursing competency was critical thinking disposition, followed by self-directed learning readiness (${\beta}=.25$, p=.003), work department (${\beta}=.19$, p=.001), total clinical career (${\beta}=.19$, p=.003), and position (${\beta}=.12$, p=.040), and these factors explained 43.8% of the variance in professional nursing competency. Conclusion: The findings indicate the necessity of developing and applying strategies and educational programs to enhance individual nurse's critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning readiness. Furthermore, exploration is needed on ways to enhance professional nursing competency.
