Purpose
This study investigated the influence of nursing practice readiness and, resilience on the nursing performance of new nurses. Methods: Participants were 234 new nurses with 6-24 months of working experience at the wards in university and general hospitals in the B area and C areas. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/Win 24.0, and frequency percentage, mean, and standard deviation were calculated, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analyses were performed, and the variable selection method was set as stepwise. Results: Nursing performance significantly differed by weekly job-related education (Z=10.01, p=.007) and salary satisfaction (Z=13.04, p=.001). The nursing performance of new nurses was positively correlated with nursing practice (r=.70, p<.001) and resilience (r=.51, p<.001). The significant predictors of nursing performance were nursing practice readiness (β=.61, p<.001), resilience (β=.16, p=.003), and job training hours (β=.11, p=.02). The explanatory power of these factors was 52.0% of the variance. Conclusion: To enhance the nursing performance of new nurses, it is necessary to improve nursing practice readiness, provide job training, and strengthen resilience. In addition, it is necessary to support programs at the institutional level for nursing performance.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to examine personality, resilience and satisfaction with nursing major and to explore their influences on nursing students' satisfaction with their major.
METHODS
From March 15 to 30, 2018, self-report questionnaires were distributed and collected from 308 of nursing students in 2 colleges located in P-metropolitan city and K-province. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0. program.
RESULTS
The mean score for personality was 3.71±0.45, for resilience, 3.28±0.36, and for satisfaction with major, 3.69±0.53. Satisfaction with major was positively correlated with personality (r=.44, p < .001) and resilience (r=.37 p < .001). Personality was positively correlated with resilience (r=.68 p < .001). The factors associated with satisfaction with major were personality (β=.34, p=.006), satisfaction with college life as ‘bad’ (β=−.25, p < .001), ‘moderate’ (β=−.19, p < .001), and ‘employment’ (β=−.14, p=.028) as motivation for nursing.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study suggest that personality, satisfaction with college life, and motivation for nursing were related to satisfaction with nursing as a major in nursing students. To increase the satisfaction with major for nursing students, it is necessary to build effective strategies to focus on promoting their personality, satisfaction with college life, and motivation for nursing.
