Bridging training and practice gap: A mixed methods tracer study of bachelor of science in nursing graduates (2016–2020) at Kairuki University, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Abstract

The findings demonstrate that the BScN program is widely regarded by graduates and stakeholders as effective in preparing students for professional practice, particularly through practical teaching methods such as demonstrations and practical exams. While the program's impact on competency development and job performance was strongly affirmed, the study also revealed notable challenges during training and practice. These insights support the ongoing review and enhancement of the BScN curriculum.
