Abstract
This paper analyzes the effect of value orientation, social support, and academic performance on stability of occupational choice in a population of 50 prenursing students at the University of Tennessee—Knoxville. Orientation to service—an altruistic quality—and social support by significant others were found to operate to stabilize prenursing students in their occupational choice, but, contrary to expectation, a low correlation obtained between grade point average and stability of choice.Keywords
