.The
image of nursing also has been connected to night shifts; extended work hours,
work overload, low wages, and an unsafe work environment (Duffield and O'Brien-
Pallas 2003).Moreover, parents, guidance
teachers, and career advisors have been identified as important influences in
shaping high school pupils' career decisions (Borycki & Samuel 2001), but this
influence may not always be positive.According to Neilson & Jones (2011), the negative view regarding
nursing as a career has been identified in the literature as a barrier to young
pupils from choosing nursing as a profession.Additionally, Cohen and colleagues
(2005) highlighted the importance of career advisors' role at schools in changing
the negative image of nursing and ensuring that students have up to date
information regarding nursing as a career choice.School students might feel discouraged to
enter nursing because of these negative ideas and attitudes toward the profession
(Neilson & Jones 2011).This image displayed by
the media may discourage young adults from choosing to enter nursing.
