Scores of students who know about their choice of nursing profession (p = 0.017), and the students who were informed before practice (p = 0.001) were significantly higher. A positive correlation was found between scale score and the rate of satisfaction with studying at School of Nursing and presuming the profession was suitable for them (r = -0347, p <0.001, r = -0284, p <0.001).
