The collected data was analyzed by frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients according to the study purpose with SPSS Window 21.0 Program. The results of the study are as follows: First, in a correlation between nurse image perceived by high school students and the characteristics of a career choice, it was indicated that the nurse image perceived by high school students had a correlation with the subjects to consult with for a career choice (r = –.124, p = .027), whether they have intention to consider nursing (r = –.133, p = .017), why they consider nursing (r = –.122, p = .029), and why they don’t consider nursing (r = 114, p = .041).Second, in the correlation of image and the characteristics of a career, the occupational image had a correlation with business image (r = .642, p = .000), the social image did with business image (r = .530, p = .000) and the occupational image (r = .671, p = .000), and the individual image did with business image (r = .831, p = .000), the occupational image (r = .609, p = .000), and the social image (r = .581, p = .000). The subjects to consult with for a career choice did with business image (r = –.132, p = .018) and individual image (r = –.137, p = .014), whether they have intention to consider nursing did with the occupational image (r = –.205, p = .000) and the social image (r = -.237, p = .000), why they consider nursing did with the occupational image (r = –.195, p = .000), the social image (r = –.221, p = .000) and whether they have intention to consider nursing (r = .969, p = .000), and why they don’t consider nursing did with the occupational image (r = .143, p = .010), the social image (r = .144, p = .010) and whether they have intention to consider nursing (r = –.666, p = .000).
