ABSTRACT
Nursing is a multifaceted profession that combines knowledge, skills, and empathy. As the healthcare landscape evolves, so do the challenges and perceptions associated with nursing. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students towards their profession at a selected nursing college in Dhaka. Employing a quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design, the study involved 84 nursing students. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, which assessed knowledge and utilized a five-point Likert scale for attitude evaluation. Results indicated that 76% of students had high levels of expertise, and most exhibited favorable attitudes towards the nursing profession. These findings emphasize the positive perceptions among students and highlight the importance of ongoing support and education to sustain these favorable views
