<![CDATA[The nursing profession needs to maintain nursing resources to become a professional nurse. Therefore, it is necessary to know the predictors of alumni career choice in the non-nursing field. This study aims to analyze the predictors related to the career choice of nursing alumni who work in non-nursing fields. The design of this study was cross-sectional. The research subjects were 101 graduates who were selected using purposive sampling. The variables analyzed in this study were age, gender, place of residence, program, salary, cumulative achievement index (GPA) in undergraduate education and professional education. The data was obtained from the tracer study of the alumni of the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Airlangga through filling out questionnaires, then analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests. The results showed that 26.7% of nursing alumni chose to work in the non-nursing field. There is a relationship between the programs taken and the career choices of nursing alumni who work in non-nursing fields, but there is no predictor that affects the career choices of nursing alumni who work in non-nursing fields. There needs to be special attention related to nursing education programs offered through activities that can increase interest and pride in the nursing profession, so as to retain alumni working as nurses.Keywords: non-nursing; career choice; tracer study ABSTRAK Profesi keperawatan perlu mempertahankan sumber daya keperawatan untuk menjadi perawat profesional.
