    Students Perception and Choice of Nursing Profession as a Career in Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Islamic University In Uganda, 2020) Olubiyi, S.K.; Ibitoye, O.F; Omotoriogun, M; Obafemi, G.F; Oyewumi, Z.
    A shortage of nurses has been reported worldwide and about 9 million new nurses will be needed to improve workforce in the profession globally by the year 2030. The sustainability of professional nurses depends on the ability to recruit and retain the upcoming generation in the professionals. This study assessed the perception of nursing profession as a career choice among secondary school students in Nigeria. This cross-sectional study involved 231 students selected through multi stage sampling in four senior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire and analysed with (SPSS) version 21. Majority of the respondents are within 16-19 years of age. A larger proportion of the students previewed, volunteered that the nursing profession is a noble one with humanitarian responsibilities. However, only about 46% of the students are willing to choose nursing as a career. High wages, personal desires, parental choice, media image, peer influence, work demand and role modelling, including nursing uniform, were identified as prospective driving forces for the choice of nursing as a career path for the students who opted for the profession. This study revealed a positive perception of the nursing profession engendered with its attractiveness and desirability as a career among students. However, the sustainability of recruiting young people into the profession depends on more advocacy, career counselling and positive imaging especially through the mass media.
