Objective: to translate, adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of Livello di Preparazione Alla Carriera Libero Professionale inventory for use among final-year undergraduate nursing students in Brazil. Method: this is a cross-sectional methodological study conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the inventory was cross-culturally adapted to the Brazilian context. In the second phase, its psychometric properties were evaluated with 328 final-year undergraduate nursing students from different regions of Brazil. Results: confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a two-factor structure, consistent with the original Italian version. Factor loadings were significant (p < 0.001), ranging from 0.417 to 0.976. The adjustment indexes met the recommended criteria, validating the factor structure in the Brazilian context. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients were greater than 0.70 for most factors and for the overall scale, demonstrating reliability. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the inventory demonstrated validity and reliability in assessing the preparation of final-year undergraduate nursing students for a liberal career, and it is also a useful tool for teachers and researchers to identify training gaps related to business entrepreneurship in this public.
