The aim of the study was to provide information based on the assessment of the skills and competences of recently qualified nurses recruited by hospitals and other health facilities.
Two other studies complement the information gathered in this survey: the survey of labour market outcomes of graduates (graduate destinations) from higher education institutions in Catalonia and the qualitative analysis of the focus group with nursing employers.
This is therefore an ambitious study that combines information obtained from different informants (graduates and employers) using different methodologies (quantitative and qualitative) and represents an important step in improving the match between the requirements of training in nursing and the supply of graduates from higher education institutions.
The study also provides the opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses, from the employers point of view, of post-Bologna programmes in Nursing compared to preBologna programmes (diplomatura) in Nursing.
