Purpose: This study was intended to evaluate the effect of nurse image, satisfaction with one's major and career decision-making self-efficacy on career preparation behavior of first-year nursing students. Methods: A total of 134 first-year nursing students were enrolled in this study. Data were collected from March 25 to April 5, 2024. Data collected prospectively were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Career preparation behavior showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.28, p=.001), satisfaction with one's major (r=.41, p<.001) and career decision-making self-efficacy(r=.61, p<.001). Career decisionmaking self-efficacy showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.59, p<.001), satisfaction with one's major (r=.70, p<.001). Satisfaction with one's major showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.66, p<.001). Career preparation behavior was significantly affected by nurse in the family and relatives (β=-.21, p=.003) and career decision-making self-efficacy (β=.64, p<.001), which had an explanatory power of 41.0%. Conclusion: To establish career preparation behavior in first-year nursing students, it is necessary to develop a variety of systematic educational programs to enhance career decision-making self-efficacy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of career decision making by Korean nursing students. Methods: The participants were 18 nursing students from one nursing college. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews, and the main question was, "Could you describe your experience of making a career decision?" Data from the field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: Core category of nursing students' experiences in making career decisions was 'trying to find the way of being a nurse'. Action/interaction strategies were 'becoming one's own self', 'actively exploring the way of being a nurse', and 'experiencing one's own achievement as a future nurse'. Consequences were 'deciding on the career on one's own' and 'career indecision on one's own'. Conclusion: The findings indicate that nursing students tried to know themselves, explore careers and experience their achievements, and that their efforts were influenced by real situations and support systems. Therefore, nurse educators should develop systems and programs to help students in nursing make career decisions.

Methods: Data for this study were collected using a structured self-report questionnaire from 90 high school students participating in a vocational experience program executed at the Nursing Department of W University in G Province during the period from April 26 to July 19 in 2014. Results: According to the results of data analyses, factors influencing the image of nurse were career identity(${\beta}=0.339$, p=0.002) and satisfaction with the program(${\beta}=0.153$, p=0.043) in order of significance(F=9.51, p<0.001), and factors influencing career identity were the image of nurse(${\beta}=0.301$, p=0.002), satisfaction with the program(${\beta}=0.254$, p=0.010), and gender(${\beta}=0.231$, p=0.015) in order of significance(F=12.06, p<0.001). Conclusions: These results suggest that when high school students participating in a vocational experience program of a nursing department are satisfied with the program, the program is more effective in improving the image of nurse and promoting the establishment of career identity.
