The sample size was 383 calculated by using the Rao soft sample size calculator. through Caring Behaviour Inventory (CBI-24) having six point Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated through SPSS 20.0. There were more males, i.e. 60.6%, as compared to female students (39.4%). The overall mean score of caring competencies of Post-RN BS Nursing (Registered nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing) was 27.17±2.17 which is higher than 23.19±4.1 for BSN students (Bachelor of Science in nursing). Caring behaviours of overall participants are correlated with gender (p=0.001), age (p=0.001), and semester (p=0.001).
