Data collection was conducted through self-report questionnaires from September 7, 2015 to October 30, 2015. The subjects were 169 nursing students using convenient sampling method. Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results showed that self-achievement (β = 0.407, p<0.001), academic self-efficacy (β = 0.267, p<0.001) and satisfaction on major (β = 0.220, p = 0.001) were significant factors in the professional self-concept. These variables accounted for 53.8% of professional self-concept. It is meaningful that self-achievement and academic self-efficacy affects professional self-concept of nursing students.
