The purposes of this longitudinal study were to understand the professional commitment changes from nursing students to registered nurses. A total of 890 subjects completed the questionnaires of the nursing professional commitment and personality test before their graduation, and nursing professional commitment one year after their graduation, respectively. The data were analyzed by mean, correlation, t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that: (1) the nurses exhibited a medium-high degree of professional commitment--the average score was 2.99 before graduation and 2.85 after graduation; (2) there was a highly significant correlation between professional commitments for nursing students and registered nurses; (3) The scores of overall commitment and four factors of professional commitment decreased from nursing students to registered nurses significantly; (4) personality traits were positively correlated with professional commitment for nursing students and registered nurses; and (5) there was no significant relationship between nurses' work backgrounds and the changes of professional commitment from nursing students to registered nurses. Implications for nursing education and for hospital management are suggested.
