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.
