Abstract

Nursing Education in India is undergoing a major transition in inorder to improve the standards across. Graduate Nurses' transition from educational program to clinical practice is a global concern. They often feel insecure, inadequately prepared and it’s a time of reality shock. Diplomate and Bacculerate programs are the two entry-level courses in Nursing in India. There is documented evidence on the differences between diploma and degree nurses in terms of professional competence. However, readiness for the practice among pregraduate nursing students is less explored in the Indian context. This article will reveal the differences in readiness for the practice among Bacculerate and Pregraduate nurses in the South Indian setting.
