The nursing jobs of highest recognition gap between college students and public was “Opium therapy nursing care”(t=4.720, p=0.000). The next jobs were “Intra-venous inject” (t=4.482, p=0.000),“Anticoagulant medication” (t=4.379, p=0.000), “Nutrition for dialysis patients(t=4.033, p=0.000) in turns”.

Teamwork skill was changed (3.94 ± 0.45, t = –1.366, p = 0.174). Communication ability was moved to higher (3.74 ± 0.36, t = –1.536, p = 0.127).

Nursing practice, one sub factor of the job stress variable was 2.80 (±0.55). Interpersonal relationship, one sub factor of the job stress variable was 2.80 (±0.55). Hospital administration and management, another sub factor of the job stress variable was 3.12 (±0.75). Job stress and stress coping was correlated positively (r=0.559, p<0.000). Especially, stress on the hospital administration and management turned out to be more related with significance of active coping (r=.50, p=.000).
