Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to assess the perception and knowledge of nursing courses among high school students in selected schools of Greater Noida. Utilizing a descriptive research design, data were collected from a sample of 120 students through a structured questionnaire. The results indicate a general lack of awareness about the scope and opportunities in nursing, with many students holding misconceptions about the profession. Despite this, there was a noticeable interest in healthcare careers, suggesting potential for increased nursing enrollment with better educational outreach. The study underscores the need for targeted informational programs to enhance understanding and interest in nursing careers among high school students.
