In their developmental stages, students are at the stage of emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is a developmental period where individuals are just entering adulthood, which occurs around the ages of 18 to 25. At this time, individuals must start thinking about their future orientation related to careers and what jobs they will pursue after graduating from college, as well as the need for students to have emotional intelligence to be able to collaborate, be flexible, and easily adapt to new environments. One of the factors that predicts the clarity of future orientation in students is emotional intelligence. The purpose of this research is to determine whether emotional intelligence can be a predictor of the clarity of students' future orientation. The respondents in this study are students who are actively registered as nursing program students and are at least in their 5th semester. The number of respondents in this study is 44 nursing students. The sampling technique used is a non-probability sample with purposive sampling technique. This research is a survey study with a cross sectional design. The data analysis used is multiple regression, which in its application utilizes the SPSS 25.0 program. The research results show that emotional intelligence can be a clear predictor of future orientation in nursing students. The contribution of emotional intelligence is 13.2% towards future orientation in nursing students. The results of the descriptive data analysis show that the majority of nursing students have high emotional intelligence. This contributes to the clarity of future orientation among nursing students.
