This article presents findings from a study of 301 Norwegian nursing students' opinions of their future career. The initial survey took place 7 months after the commencement of nursing training in 1998/99 with a follow-up after 2 1/2 years. Data was collated using a questionnaire with closed questions and supplemented by semi-structured in-depth, audio taped interviews concerning the students' professional socialisation. The findings from the initial survey indicate that motives like human contact, helping others and job security (i.e. low risk of being laid off) were important. Plans for further education after finishing the bachelor programme in nursing were abundant. Analysis of the second data-set will show whether there is a change in the students' plans for their future education and career. For nearly 80% of the students it was very important that the bachelor degree could serve as a basis for further education. Multiple regression analysis showed that nursing students who emphasise this importance are less interested in giving care and help to others, and this attitude is confirmed in the interviews. Career preferences were often midwifery, public health or practice in high tech areas like anaesthetics, and not care for chronically ill or elderly patients; areas where there is a shortage of nurses.
本文展示了一项针对301名挪威护理专业学生对其未来职业看法的研究结果。初始调查于1998/99年护理培训开始7个月后进行，并在2年半后进行了跟踪调查。数据通过一份包含封闭式问题的问卷进行整理，并辅以关于学生职业社会化的半结构化深度录音访谈。初始调查结果表明，诸如人际接触、帮助他人和工作保障（即被裁员风险低）等动机很重要。完成护理专业本科课程后继续深造的计划很多。对第二组数据集的分析将显示学生对其未来教育和职业的计划是否有变化。对于近80%的学生来说，本科学位能否作为进一步深造的基础非常重要。多元回归分析表明，强调这一重要性的护理专业学生对给予他人护理和帮助的兴趣较低，这种态度在访谈中得到了证实。职业偏好通常是助产、公共卫生或麻醉等高科技领域的实践，而不是照顾慢性病患者或老年患者；这些领域护士短缺。
