Analysis of the collected data was performed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Baron-Kenny regression analysis. As a result of the study, first, growth mindset showed a positive effect(β=.397, p<.001) on career adaptability. Second, growth mindset showed a positive effect(β=.337, p<.001) on career preparation behavior. Third, growth mindset (β=138, p<.001) and career adaptability (β=.502, p<.001) each had a statistically significant impact on career preparation behavior. As a result, it was confirmed that career adaptability has a partial mediating effect between growth mindset and career preparation behavior. Therefore, it can be seen that the higher the growth mindset, the more career adaptability is promoted, which in turn promotes career preparation behavior. Based on these research results, in order to improve the career preparation behavior of nursing students, growth mindset and career adaptability should be promoted in the field of nursing education.
