Entrepreneurship involves the production of goods or services by using human labour, bringing together the factors of production, which are considered as technology, capital and natural resources. As for entrepreneurs, they are dynamic people who take risks to realize their vision for the future by making good use of the opportunities available and leave positive marks on their environment. In order to develop a new scale for the entrepreneurship, validity and reliability studies should be conducted. Reliability and validity tests are the factors that ensure accurate results in measurements without a predetermined norm value. The second factor that makes a measurement strong is validity. Validity means compliance with the purpose of the measurement and generalization to the measured universe. The study group consisted of 386 students studying at the Faculty of Nursing of Near East University. The sociodemographic characteristics of the students were analyzed in terms of age, gender and educational status. Entrepreneurship scale scores were compared according to the nonformal education of students related to entrepreneurship. In the present study, findings regarding the reliability of the Scale were obtained with Cronbach alpha (Internal consistency). Findings showed that the reliability coefficient of the scale was sufficient, and it was concluded that the scale was valid and reliable.
