The purpose of this study was to examine the job-seeking stress of nursing students according to their critical thinking disposition and self-esteem and the relationship of these variables. The subjects in this study were 332 nursing students. The students got 89.57±9.77 in critical thinking; 25.11±2.58 in self-esteem; and 46.38±17.67 in job-seeking stress. There was a positive correlation between critical thinking and self-esteem(r=.294, p<.001), and critical thinking(r=-.240, p<.001) had a significant positive correlation with self-esteem(r=-.209, p<.001). Critical thinking disposition and self-esteem were identified as the variables to affect job-seeking stress, and the two variables had a 35.2% explainability.
