Abstract

This study utilized the descriptive correlational type of study. The respondents were composed of 163 senior nursing students Batch ’95 of De La Salle University-Aguinaldo out of 167 total population. A close-ended questionnaire was used. Pre-testing was conducted on five senior nursing students and necessary revisions were made before actual data gathering. Weighted score formula was used to determine the most chosen elective and the factors that influenced them while Chi-square was used to determine the difference between choice of elective when they are grouped according to age, sex, religion, and favorite nursing subjects. Based on the study conducted, the most chosen elective is the Operating Room Nursing, and the main factors that influenced them are: they are interested in using medical/surgical instruments, they were influenced by their peers, the comfortability of their uniforms, and the Clinical Instructors’ expertise. The study also showed that sex, age, and religion do not affect the choice of elective while favorite subjects influenced the decisions being made by the students.
