Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the concept of calling among nurses and to identify its attributes, antecedents, and consequences within the healthcare context. Methods: A concept analysis was conducted using Walker and Avant’s eight-step method. Literature published between January 2015 and February 2025 was searched in domestic and international databases. A total of 13 studies were included in the final analysis. Results: Four defining attributes were identified: meaning- and purpose-orientation, intrinsic motivation–based self-direction, prosocial commitment, and professional identity-based persistence. Antecedents included personal values, positive psychological resources, professional socialization, and supportive organizational environments. Consequences encompassed increased job satisfaction, organizational commitment, work engagement, and career commitment, along with decreased turnover intention and enhanced patient safety activities. Conclusions: Calling among nurses is a multidimensional construct characterized by the integration of meaning and purpose orientation, intrinsic motivation–based self-direction, prosocial commitment, and professional identity–based persistence. These findings provide a basis for understanding calling in nursing and may inform workforce management and professional development in healthcare organizations.
