BALSEIRO ALMARIO, Carmen L. et al. Labor market integration, professional development, and institutional performance of the graduates from the unique plan of specialization in nursing of the ENEO-UNAM: a 12 year experience. Enferm. univ [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.1, pp.16-26. ISSN 2395-8421.

Objective: Analyze the characteristics of the processes of labor market integration and performance, as well as professional development in the graduates from the Unique Plan of Specialization in Nursing (UPSN) of the ENEO-UNAM. Theoretical Frame: Labor market integration is a term commonly used to refer the process of incorporating individuals into the economic activity. Professional development is the fruit of the career and includes the aspects which enrich the person towards the achievement of goals within the organization. Institutional development includes the actions or behaviors of the employees which are relevant to the objectives of the organization, and which can be measured in terms of competences and contribution levels. Methodology: This is a basic and descriptive study and the measured variables of labor market integration were; center/institution of work, category, seniority, salary, and principal functions; the dimensions of professional development were; responsibility, autonomy, team-work, and position; and the dimensions of institutional performance were; employer characteristics, satisfaction with the graduate's professional performance, and bonds with the ENEO. The sample included 417 graduates from the UPSN, and 13 institutions. To collect data related to institutional performance, 86 questionnaires were given to the directive nursing staff of both the public and private institutions. Results: labor market integration showed that the graduate's principal activity is direct attention. In relation to professional development, graduates perceive that their specialties enable them to perform with responsibility and autonomy, and to work in teams, but also that the acknowledgement is limited. The graduate's profile fits that required from the employer institutions, with a performance perceived as good.
