Abstract
This study is aims to determine the image of nursing profession among high school students and make comparisons on the basis of variables which might influence the image of nursing. This descriptive and comparative research data were collected by using the Information Form and the Nursing Image Scale. The research sample was performed with 618 students of five state high schools. It was seemed that the nursing image of the students in the study was moderately positive but they were unwilling to make preference nursing. One of the most significant results of the present study is the importance of the close environment and the presence of factors leading to more knowledge about nursing in creating a positive image of nursing in Turkish high school students. We believe that organization of programs or projects and the use of the written and visual media will lead to positive attitudes related to nursing.
