Abstract :This study aims to identify the relationship between nursing students’ selection of profession and their professional value perceptions. Designed as a descriptive and correlational study, the research was conducted with the participation of 322 nursing students. Research data were collected by using the Personal Information Form, the Nursing Career Decision Scale, and the Nurses’ Professional Values Scale- Revised. It was found that there was a statistically significant moderately positive relationship between nursing students’ Nursing Career Decision Scale and Nurses’ Professional Values Scale-Revised scores. Factors affecting the selection of profession affect the professional value perceptions and increase congruence with professional values. There is a statistically significant relationship between congruence with professional values and factors affecting the selection of profession. It is discerned that the congruence with professional values increases particularly when the profession is selected on the basis of the NCDS sub-scale of "Vocational Congruency”.Keywords : Hemşirelik Mesleği, Hemşirelik Öğrencileri, Meslek Seçimi, Profesyonel Değer
