Inflation, insufficient educational facilities, children's lack of progress, and job discrimination were identified as the main reasons for the desire to migrate. Also, the variables of age, sense of belonging to the homeland, father's bachelor's education and mother's free job are significant predictors of the desire to migrate among nursing students. Conclusion: The results showed that the desire to migrate among nursing students is at an average level. Also,the results of this study led to the identification of factors related to the desire to migrate among nursing students.
