The study attempted to identify the factors affecting the image of nurses in health and non-health university students after COVID-19. The study was collected from November 15, 2021 to 2011 and 28th, 2021, from 133 health-related and 123 non-health-related students in four universities. This data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program. As a result of the study, whether the nurse image according to general characteristics is in the first grade of health-related college students(t=2.82, p=.006) showed a statistically significant difference. The nurse image of college students showed a positive correlation with the mass media image and major satisfaction in both health and non-health fields. For health-related college students, the image of mass media, major satisfaction, and first grade influence the image of nurses (F=40.42, p<.001)In the case of university students in non-health departments, it was found that only the media image affects the nurse image. (F=20.13, p<.001). In order to improve the image of nurses, it is necessary to have continuous interest in contact with the media through new media and to approach it systematically.
