Abstract Background: It should be supported self-actualization of nursing students during nursing education. Aim: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between their self-actualization obstacles and career choices of nursing students. Methods: The study was conducted at a university in Erzurum, Turkey, with 1130 students. Data collection tools included a questionnaire form, Self-Actualization Obstacles Screening Inventory (SAOSI), and Career Choice Scale for Nursing (CCSN). Results: In the study, the mean SAOSI score was determined to be 95.22±38.94, and the mean CCSN score was found to be 97.66±25.66. Although there was a statistically significant and positive correlation between total CCSN score and total SAOSI score and the need for security and respect sub-scales (p-0.05), there was no statistically significant correlation between the CCSN and the physiological needs and belonging-love subscales (p>0.05). Conclusion: Their career choices have increases when the self-actualization obstacles of the students decrease.
