A binary and multiple logistic regressions were conducted to see the relation between the dependent variable and independent variables.Results: A total of 407 nurses participated in the study with a response rate of 99.3%. The overall prevalence of good perceived nursing professionalism was found to be 24.8%. Variables such as having > 10 years experience (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.2, 95%CI: 2.9– 5.57) a day working shift (AOR=2.36, 95%CI: 0.78– 6.67), having professional identification (AOR=5.44, 95%CI: 4.38– 8.45), and getting medical service (AOR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.11– 2.28) were significantly associated with perceived good nursing professionalism.Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that only one-fifth of nurses had perceived good nursing professionalism.
