.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.

the media may discourage young adults from choosing to enter nursing. 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). 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. 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. School students might feel discouraged to
enter nursing because of these negative ideas and attitudes toward the profession
(Neilson & Jones 2011). In a study by Neilson and Jones (2011) authors collected
data from 1059 from 5th and 6th-year school students, from 11 schools in the
United Kingdom. The authors stated that 28.3 % of students thought they would
never consider nursing as a career option. Those students who would never
consider nursing reported significantly more negative views towards nursing.
Therefore, there is an immediate need to change the negative image of nursing to
enhance the recruitment process of students into the profession.
