However, the shortage of nursing personnel is a very real yet often invisible phenomenon that will only worsen over time ( Ait Ali et al, 2024c ; Hsu et al, 2022 ; Noordien et al, 2020 ). In this context, the growth and sustainability of the nursing profession largely depend on the ability to recruit and retain new generations of nurses, particularly in the wake of a post-COVID context that has transformed healthcare systems globally ( Ait Ali et al, 2023a , 2023b ).…”

A total number of 155 respondents took part in the survey. The collected data were processed with the aid of non-parametric statistical tests. Results: The average age of the nurses in our group was 27.7 years, and the average number of years of experience was 4.8 years. Almost 43.2% of nurses want to stay working in clinical practice; 38.7% of nurses are interested in a managerial position; 18% want to work as a teacher. Nurses are not interested in research in nursing. Within the career trends in nursing, the most preferred post was the school nurse. There was no statistically significant difference in the age of the respondents according to their field of career (p=0.41) or according to their preference of application (p=0.36). The perception of managerial and pedagogical skills of the respondents did not correlate with age or length of experience. Conclusion: Nursing students' career preferences change as they progress through their training: nursing career planning and management; career growth increase job satisfaction; provision of quality and safe nursing care. The students of the study program Nursing show great ambivalence in their ideas about their future career. This opens wide possibilities for educators, managers, mentors, and nurses in practice to significantly positively influence and formation the career preferences of students.

Studies reveal that nursing students rank hospice nursing among their least preferred career choices. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between nursing students' intention to work in hospice care in the future and their attitudes toward caring for dying patients, death anxiety, personal and/or professional experience of caring for dying patients, and type of nursing program studied. In this cross-sectional study, 200 nursing students completed an online survey based on the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale and the Turkish Death Anxiety Scale. Only 11% of the respondents were found to express interest in working in hospice care in the future. Studying in the accelerated program for nonnursing Bachelor of Arts graduates predicted a higher intention to work in hospice care in the future, than studying in the generic program (β = 0.27, P < .001). Completion of clinical experience in a medical ward predicted lower intention (β = −0.21, P < .01). These findings suggest that nursing students in the accelerated program for nonnursing Bachelor of Arts graduates should be provided with appropriate experience and support to maintain their interest in hospice nursing. Clinical experience in medical wards does not seem to be a good substitute for clinical experience in hospice care.
