The study’s sample, which is a cross-sectional study, consisted of 349 nursing students.

Percentage, standard deviation, mean, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. The sub-dimensions of the Vocational Choice Scale in Nursing, gender and class explained 10% of the variance of the professional behaviors of nursing students. While there is a significant relationship between the professional suitability sub-dimension of the Vocational Choice Scale in Nursing and the Nursing Students Professional Behavior Scale (p <0.05), there is no significant relationship between the vital reasons sub-dimension (p>0.05).
