Abstract


Employers’ satisfaction surveys can provide educational providers tools to evaluate if the
programs that they ran are meeting their expectations and goals. For this reason, the RAK
College of Nursing conducted its own survey to find out if the employers of all the 80 alumni
from 2013 up to 2019 were satisfied with their job performance. The survey was conducted
for a period of 6 months, from June 1, 2019 up to December 30, 2019. The employers’
satisfaction surveys were measured in five (5) dimensions such as critical thinking,
communication, nursing interventions, leadership/management and research participation.
For the period of 6 months, 48 employers responded. The first four components of the
instrument registered a scale more than the average expected mean of the participants’
evaluation that was set at 3.5 from a 6-point Likert Scale. Similarly, because its confidence
interval lies entirely at more than .05 (p=.066), the item number 21 that represented research
participation is found to be lacking in terms of practice. It has a mean of 3.85 only.
