Results:The four categories obtained as results were “Preparing myself,” “Chosen after conflict,” “Going through a tough tunnel and settling down,” and “Waiting with anticipation and worry.”
Conclusion:This study explored the meaning and essence of the career choice experiences of nursing students. These results will provide basic data that can help nursing students make career choices.
