Purpose
This study aimed to analyze how professional nursing intuition is acquired and develop a corresponding theory.
Methods
This qualitative study used the grounded theory method proposed by Strauss and Corbin (1998).
Results
Through axial coding, conflict was identified as the causal condition directly leading to the establishment of ‘me’ as a professional nurse, the central phenomenon. Personal competence, educational needs, and work environment were revealed as the contextual conditions. Social recognition, autonomy, and professionalism were the mediating conditions. The actions and interactions were divided into indifference-realistic and compromise-selfdirected. Dissatisfaction-mechanical, ambivalence -technical, and self-actualization-qualitative and independent nursing were derived. Through selective coding, the core category was derived as ‘becoming a nurse is desirable for myself and others.’ Conclusion: To meet the contemporary need for nurses with professional intuition. It was confirmed that nurses must demonstrate self-will and make continuous efforts to establish ‘me’ as professional nurses. To motivate nurses to acquire professional intuition, measures for social and institutional improvement should be developed to enhance the nursing education curriculum, work environment, autonomy, and professionalism.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to build a hypothetical model and verify the validity among variables that influence the organizational socialization of nursing students. Methods: Data collection was conducted from fourth year nursing students to whom questionnaires were distributed from June 18 to July 28, 2019. Of the questionnaires 320 were returned. Thirty questionnaires were not returned and 19 questionnaires with insufficient answers were excluded. For final analysis 301 questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS/WIN version 24.0 and AMOS version 24.0.
Results
The hypothetical model was a good fit for the data. The goodness-of-fit of the study model was x ² =522.672, df=284, p<.001, CFI=0.91, TLI=0.90, IFI=0.91, RMR=0.03, and RMSEA=0.05. The factors influencing nursing students’ organizational socialization were self-leadership and clinical practice competency. The factors influencing nursing students’ nursing core competencies were self-leadership and clinical practice competency. Conclusion: A professional nurse should be competent and competency can be improved by experiencing theoretical education and clinical practice education which are formal courses in nursing education. The study results suggest that developing and applying various teaching strategies and other programs along with the curriculum can increase organizational socialization in nursing students.
