This study also investigated the influence of the perceived educational environment on future career planning among nursing students. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was used, with a structured interview questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, a section that measured students’ attitudes and knowledge toward their career planning, and the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure Scale (DREEM). Results The mean total score for the DREEM scale was 109.61, and most students perceived many areas within the program as more positive than negative. However, they had low levels of knowledge regarding career planning. Conclusion Based on the findings of this study, further efforts should be made to stimulate students’ interest in pediatric nursing, to integrate theoretical content with practice, and to improve their planning activities early during their study. It is important to engage students in discussions concerning their ideas and worries about factors they perceive as less enhancing and more threatening in clinical settings.Hanan T.
