  Scores ranging from 42 to 210. It is a 5-point Likert type scale and consists of 42 items. It is evaluated between 5 'strongly agree' and 1 'strongly disagree'. Items 8, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 31 are reverse coded. As the score obtained from the scale increases, nurses' perception of professional image increases positively. Scale 143-109 points indicate medium level image, 108 and below indicate low level nursing image.
