The participants were selected with a stratified random sampling method, and study data were collected using a two-part questionnaire: demographics and the nurse prescribing questionnaire.The demographics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> tests were employed to examine the correlation and to compare the mean scores, respectively. The significance level for all tests was determined to be less than 0.05.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

The results showed that the mean ±SD scores of attitude and readiness were 34.79 ±8.15 and 36.99 ±6.01, respectively. Moreover, 71.6% of nurses agreed with nurse prescribing. The results showed that the score of attitudes towards prescribing the drug was significant in terms of gender (P = 0.039), employment status (P = 0.032), work experience (P =0.041), and academic degree (P = 0.028). Also, results showed readiness to implement was significant in terms of gender (P = 0.028), employment status (P = 0.049), work experience (P = 0.037), and academic degree (P = 0.042). Finally,</span></span> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">there was a positive and significant correlation between nurses' attitudes toward and readiness for prescribing (P = 0.042, <i>r<sub>s</sub></i>=0.626).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br>
