Data were assessed by using number, percentage and chi-square test.
Results: It was determined that the average age of the students who participated in the study was 21.10 ± 2.20, the majority of them (72.6%) were female students and 85.8% did not work in any job. It was found that half of the students (56.1%) have knowledge about associations related to nursing, but a great majority (86.5%) did not know the duties, powers and responsibilities of associations, 79.6% requested to get information about the subject. It was determined that very small part of students were health vocational high school graduates (n = 8), and all these students were members of the Turkish Nurses Association after they started the task, students' gender and employment status did not affect the awareness of the professional associations (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that nursing students were not knowledgeable enough about professional organizations and their duties, powers and responsibilities, and the majority of them wanted to get information about it.
