Abstract

Background:

Nursing remains one of the most recognized healthcare professions in the Philippines; however, students’ intentions to pursue nursing are influenced by various personal, social, and contextual factors. The growing demand for healthcare professionals and continuing workforce shortages, particularly in rural and underserved communities, highlight the need to understand factors influencing students’ career choices. Guided by Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT). This study examined the self-efficacy, outcome expectations, personal goals, and overall perceptions of Grade 12 STEM students toward pursuing nursing as a college course.
