The goal of this study is to examine the effect of reverse case studies based on the heutagogical approach on the level of readiness for the profession among final-year nursing students. The hypotheses are: H0-1: There is no difference in the level of professional readiness between the control group and the intervention group that underwent reverse case studies based on the heutagogy approach. H0-2: There is no difference in career adaptability between the control group and the intervention group that underwent reverse case studies based on the heutagogy approach. H0-3: There is no difference in professional socialization between the control group and the intervention group that underwent reverse case studies based on the heutagogy approach. Secondary Hypothesis: H0-4: There is no difference in psychological capital levels between the control group and the intervention group that underwent reverse case studies based on the heutagogy approach. Researchers will compare the heutagogy-based reverse case studies program group with the waiting-list control group to evaluate its effects on professional readiness, career adaptability, professional socialization, and psychological capital. Participants will: * complete baseline assessments * be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the waiting-list control group * receive reverse case studies program based on the heutagogy approach (intervention group) * complete post-intervention assessments after the educational program
