N2  - Objectives: This descriptive study was carried out  to determine the career choice of nursing students to  practice intensive care nursing after graduation and  the factors that influenced their preferences. Materials and Methods: The study included 202  nursing highs school students of grades 2, 3, and 4.  Data were collected using a 17-item questionnaire  that inquired demographic characteristics of the nurs- ing students, their status of receiving intensive care  nursing lessons, their opinions on critical care nursing  internship and on intensive care nursing, tendency for  a career in intensive care nursing after graduation, and  the reasons for their choices. Results: Although the nursing curriculum did not include  an intensive care nursing lesson, 76.7% and 92.6% of the  students took theoretical and practical courses, respec- tively, as part of their nursing subjects. The great majority  of the students (n=187, 92.6%) stated that the absence  of intensive care nursing lesson in the curriculum was  a flaw. Of the study group, 44.1% (n=89) preferred a  postgraduate career in intensive care nursing, while  55.9% (n=113) declared their unwillingness. Adverse  interactions experienced by the students during practi- cal internship in intensive care units accounted primarily  for nurses (40.4%), followed by physicians (34.9%) and  patients (20.5%). Willingness to a future career in inten- sive care unit was more prevalent among grade 4 stu- dents (46.2%). The leading reasons in favor of intensive  care nursing were the chance for increased experience  (30.3%) and satisfaction with caring critically ill patients  (28.1%). The leading reasons for unwillingness, on the  other hand, were tiring nature of the job (39.8%) and  unpleasantness of the environment (26.5%). Conclusion: Although there was considerable interest  in intensive care nursing, about 60% of nursing stu- dents did not consider a career in intensive care nurs- ing following graduation due to inherent characteristics  of working environment
