Aim: To determining the professional identity of nurses at Mansura University hospital. The study was conducted at Mansura University Hospital departments as Critical car, Surgical, Orthopedic, Medical, and Emergency. Subjects; (n=200) included all the available (32) first line manager and (186) of nursing staff. Tool of the study: The questionnaire sheet is consisted of two sections: a) the first section related to demographic attributes (gender, working experience, etc). The second section; consisted of 56 questions for assessing nurses' professional identity. Results, revealed that there were more than half (52.5%) of the sample had low professional identity level. More than one third of the nurses (41%) have moderate professional identity level and only (6.5%) have high professional identity level. There were significant effects of the job description, educational level, years of experiences and attending in –services training program on nurses’ professional identity level.
