  abstract: Purpose. The purposes of this study were to: (a) identify a descriptive profile of male and female nursing students to determine the motivational factors in their career selection, and (b) compare motivational factors of male nursing students with female subjects.

Individual comparisons do not contribute the overall difference in motivational characteristics. Recommendations. The investigator presents the following recommendations: (1) Results of this study may be examined in relationship to present nursing programs to determine the impact of these 15 values on the curricula.

(4) Future studies should be conducted which include a more broad national sampling of the nursing student population. This would provide a stronger basis for conclusions and inferences to the student population. (5) Future studies should be conducted using othe…
