Summary
This study will develop and test a mobile app called Nurse Bridge to help final-year nursing students with career planning. Over six months, 108 students will use the app or be in a control group. Researchers will measure changes in career confidence, planning behaviors, resilience, professional identity, and intention to stay in nursing.
