The study ' s objective is to provide a theoretical basis for improving work engagement among nursing students.  Methods  From July to August 2024, 409 intern nursing students from the School of Nursing at Shanghai Donghai Polytechnic College were selected for participation in a research study employing the convenience sampling method. Questionnaires were administered to intern nursing students, employing the general information questionnaire, the occupational identity scale, the empathy ability scale, the emotional intelligence scale and the work engagement scale. To analyze the correlation between professional identity, empathy ability, emotional intelligence and work engagement of nursing students. In addition, the chain mediating effect of empathy ability and emotional intelligence between professional identity and work engagement of nursing students will be studied.  Results  The mean values obtained for the variables of occupational identity, empathy, emotional intelligence, and work engagement of nursing students were (44.97±8.73) points, (93.98±14.01) points, (3.85±0.72) points, and (36.92±13.59) points, respectively. The findings indicated a substantial positive correlation between occupational identity, empathy, emotional intelligence, and work engagement were significantly positively correlated (r=0.333-0.699, P < 0.01). Empathy ability and emotional intelligence have a chain-mediated effect between professional identity and job engagement of nursing students. The mediation effect ratio is estimated to be 5.33%.  Conclusion  The present study hypothesizes the existence of a chain mediation effect between empathy and emotional intelligence in the relationship between professional identity and job engagement of nursing students. Nursing managers and educators to prioritize the cultivation of empathy and emotional intelligence among nursing students, guiding them in the establishment of a correct professional identity, thereby increasing their work engagement.
