摘要:An exploratory research was carried out, using a mixed approach, with the purpose of determing the relevance of the Nursing degree in the National University of Chimborazo. The study population consisted of samples “A” and “B”, with the first including the 149 graduates of this course from January 2011 to December 2014. The determination of the sample size (105 individuals) was made using probabilistic sampling of the simple random type. The second sample consisted of the 29 employers and 11 institutions of the National Health System where the graduates worked, for which convenience non-probabilistic sampling was used. The study was able to establish the relevance of this degree course, in which it was observed the need to continue graduating these professionals to contribute to the sustainability of the Health services in the researched context. Employers reported satisfaction with the performance of graduates and expressed interest in continuing their training due to the demand for this human resource. Respondents expressed satisfaction with the preparation received during their professional training. The weaknesses identified by these were related to the dimensions “Research” and “Direction in health”, which can be resolved through the redesign of the curriculum.
