Resumen
The “Study of the relevance of competences of the nursing professional from the students’ perspective", examines the importance that universities give to the quality of educational processes through students’ participation. This research is based on the descriptive methodology called a survey study. A Likert type scale with five categories of response is used for obtaining information. The scale consists of twenty-two competences of the Nursing degree. Through the instrument a group of students from the program responded to the survey offering their opinion about the twenty-two competitions previously identified for the nursing professional. Using two alternatives (you have or you must have) students presented essential information to the university administration regarding their study program. Two basic objectives were identified for this research. The first is to determine what are the nursing profession competencies that they must obtain in the opinion of students. The second objective in the research is to know the perception that students have with respect to the degree in which they had developed their own nursing professional competencies.
