The association between academic year with the level of readiness for self-directed learning were statistically significant (p=0.045) whereas the association between other variables (age, ethnicity, religion, marital status, family type and residence) with the level of readiness for self-directed learning were statistically insignificant (p>0.05).It is concluded that depending upon the academic year, seniors are more ready towards self-directed learning than junior nursing students.
