The study’s sample, which is a cross-sectional study, consisted of 349 nursing students. Personal Information Forms, Nursing Students Professional Behavior Scale and Vocational Choice Scale in Nursing were used to collect data. 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).
