title: High school counselors' perception of baccalaureate degree nursing career choices.
abstract: A sample of 100 high school counselors in a southeastern state was surveyed to explore their perceptions of baccalaureate degree nursing as a career choice and the type and availability of resources used in counseling students toward careers in nursing. With a response rate of 31 percent, the findings indicate that counselors need more up-to-date, specific information about the requirements and scope of professional nursing practice.
