Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to identify and compare the nurse role conceptions of the faculty of a baccalaureate nursing program and those of the nursing service personnel in two hospitals that employed May, 1976 graduates of the nursing program. It was hypothesized that there would be a difference between the nurse role conceptions held by the nursing faculty and the nurse role conceptions held by the nursing service personnel. The subjects were 102 nurses, all female. Sixty-five subjects were nursing service personnel of the two hospitals and thirty-seven were nursing faculty of the baccalaureate school of nursing. The data were collected using the Nurse Role Conception Scales adapted from the Corwin Role Conception Scales (1961). Analysis of variance by the F-test was computed on the total scale scores for the role conception of each respondent with the significance level set at .05. The hypothesis, that there would be a difference between the nurse role conceptions held by nursing faculty and nursing service personnel, was accepted. The nursing faculty had a significantly higher professional role conception score and the nursing service personnel had a significantly higher bureaucratic role conception score.
