In today’s competitive healthcare sector, technical expertise is just the entry point. Employers increasingly highlight an “employability gap” — where graduates have knowledge but lack the soft skills that truly drive success (DukeCE, 2021).
For nurses, these non-technical competencies are essential for career growth and professional distinction. Employers now look for professionals who can communicate clearly, show empathy, manage stress, and lead with confidence — qualities that define success in modern healthcare.
Why Soft Skills Matter in Nursing
Global employer surveys consistently rank communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills among the most valued competencies in recruitment (JCU Careers, 2022). In nursing, these skills are critical, directly influencing patient satisfaction and outcomes.
Evidence from Indian hospitals further confirms that structured soft skills training significantly enhances nurses’ communication, self-efficacy, and quality of care (Khan et al., 2022). Yet, despite this proven impact, India continues to face an employability gap, with many graduates lacking the interpersonal and professional competencies needed to succeed (DukeCE, 2021).
