Abstract

This study is a tracer survey that assessed the employability and professional competence of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduates from the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), General Tinio Campus, Academic Year 2022–2023. Using the USEM model (Understanding, Skills, Efficacy, and Metacognition), the study aimed to determine how effectively the BSN curriculum prepared graduates for work in healthcare. Out of 281 graduates, 132 responded to an online survey. The study used purposive sampling and a structured questionnaire based on the CHED Graduate Tracer Study framework. Results showed that 89.39% of the respondents were employed, and 98.31% of those were in healthcare-related jobs. Among the employed, 94.53% secured work within 6 months of graduation, indicating a quick transition into the workforce. Graduates generally rated themselves as competent in understanding core nursing concepts and performing clinical skills, but scored themselves lowest in leadership and management, pointing to a potential area for curriculum enhancement. This study benefits students by giving insights into career paths, helps the university improve its program based on graduate feedback, and provides valuable data for employers and policymakers in workforce planning. It also highlights the importance of continuous tracer studies and recommends maintaining an updated alumni database, strengthening RLE activities, and improving leadership training to further develop graduate readiness.
