- Nursing Education
- Career Development
- Psychology of Professions
Background:
- Professional calling significantly influences nursing students' career choices and development.
- Understanding the nuances of professional calling is vital for nursing workforce stability.

- Utilized the Chinese Calling Scale and demographic questionnaires.
- Employed latent profile analysis (LPA) and logistic regression.
Main Results:
- Identified three distinct calling profiles: low (30.3%), moderate (42.4%), and high (27.3%).
