Abstract | Introduction and Background: Caballero et. als (2011) work readiness factors indicate a need to include more than these generic practice standards and ensure that nursing students develop social and personal intelligence (Walker & Campbell, 2013). However, modern students and their lecturers are increasingly focused on 'jumping through the hoops' of competency and on the job training. Are we punishing the nursing workforce and the people in their care through a lack of professional direction in regards to our undergraduate nursing curriculum? Competency based education has been considered revolutionary in reforming curriculum, however Mrocke, Dornan and Eika (2013) reviewed the role competency based training for medical students finding that to reduce health care education to objectives and competencies is to deny the significance of human relationships within the profession.
