Title: The opinions of the undergraduate nursing students in Osijek about abroad employment. Objectives: The aim of the research was to investigate the emigration preferences of students at the University Undergraduate Study Programme of Nursing in Osijek and the factors that may have an effect on the nursing students’ decision to stay or leave the country in the near future. Study design: A cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: We investigated the emigration preferences among 63 final year students of nursing at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek in 2017 by using a self-designed questionnaire consisting of 18 closed questions which require the person to circle one of the answers, two of which are closed questions where the person should write in the information. The questionnaire consists of general demographic data (age, gender, place of residence, employment, number of members in the family) and questions that seek to assess the students’ standard of living and their opinion, opportunities, and desires for departure abroad. Results: 67% of the participants think about emigrating from Croatia. This gives us some information regarding what will happen to this generation and future generations of university students. Younger participants are contemplating leaving more than the older participants. The separation from the family/partner or insufficient knowledge of the language is the biggest barrier for emigration. The most common reason for going abroad is work in their chosen profession. Conclusion: Most of the students from the final year of the University Undergraduate Study Programme of Nursing in Osijek intend to move away from Croatia. Most of them want to emigrate because of financial reasons and because they have a positive attitude toward business opportunities abroad.
