Aim: The aim of this study is to explore factors contributing to the theory-practice gap in nursing education in the United Arab Emirates.
Background: The gap between what is taught in nursing classrooms and what is practised in clinical settings creates challenges for nursing students, practitioners, managers and educators. This has important implications for the United Arab Emirates and other developing countries as their healthcare systems require a permanent nursing taskforce that is well supplied with ready to practice graduates.
