Career planning or selecting preferred job increases the job satisfaction where as a career chosen randomly adversely affects both job satisfaction as well as those receiving the care. Career planning helps them to be more satisfied in future with their job profile. An understanding of perception of nursing as career among nursing students, their job preferences and associated reasons will foster the recruitment agencies to provide conducive and promising work environment for future nurses thereby balancing between demand and supply of nursing task force and aid in their retention. Current study aims to explore the career advancement preferences of final year nursing students and associated factors influencing their plans. A descriptive cross sectional, online survey of 433 nursing students (total enumeration, final year) using structured questionnaire containing 20 items, was conducted over three months. A self developed structured questionnaire included 20 items was shared using Google form. Results showed that 36.49% of the students had nursing as their first career choice and 34.8% self motivated. 54.04% felt nursing is about caring the sick. Students wanted to pursue their career as clinical nurse (38.57%) and nurse educator (36.49%) respectively. Overall 46.19% preferred working in intensive care unit and 83.10% wished to pursue higher education.
