Abstract (2. Language): 
Research was planned as a cross-sectional study to determine nursing students’ views about environmental sensitivity. The sample comprised 553 students studying at a nursing school in Istanbul. No sampling group was created in study; instead, it was aimed to reach the entire sample, 88% of the sample (487) was achieved. Data was collected with “Information Form “and “Environmental Sensibility Questionnaire”. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 package program by percentage, t-test, Oneway ANOVA Test, Spearman’s Rho correlation analysis. Results showed that nursing students had medium-level sensitivity toward environment. However, it was stated that environmental sensitivity was affected from some socio-demographic characteristics (grade, recognize non-governmental organization related environment, attend to seminars, panel as scientific studies, activities of volunteer organizations, taking environmental education). As a result, it can be said that nursing students’ views about environmental sensitivity were positive.
