Aim: To determine nursing students’ perceptions of image towards the profession. Material and Method: Descriptive type study was carried out in the nursing department of a public university health school (n=691) at 25-29 May 2017. “Student Identification Form” and “Image for Nursing Profession” scale was used in collecting the data. Results: The average age of the students participating in the study was 22,49±1.53, 64,7% were girls and 36% were at 3rd grade. 62,1% of the students stated that they preferred the nursing profession voluntarily, 59,3% of them liked the profession and 61,4% did not intend to change their department. It was determined that the students’ mean score of image scale for nursing profession was 142,97 ± 0,59. A statistically significant difference was found between the willingness and preference of the nursing profession and the subscale of the scale and the mean total score of the scale (p <0,05). Conclusion: It was determined that students’ perception of image towards nursing profession is at a medium level, and those who prefer the profession willingly and those who love the profession have high perception of nursing image. In order to improve students’ perception of nursing image, programs should be organized to increase their professional equipment and improve their professional behavior.
