Aim: To describe graduating nursing students’ competence based on their knowledge in the nursing of a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their self-assessed nurse competence.

Design: A cross-sectional survey.

Methods: The data were collected from 2018–2019 using an ACS test developed for this study and using the Nurse Competence Scale. The sample contained 47 graduating nursing students. The statistical analysis methods were used.

Results: Only 48.9% (n = 23) of the students scored an accepted level of knowledge in the nursing of a patient with ACS, and a little over half (51.1%; n = 24) failed the ACS test. Graduating nursing students’ self-assessed nurse competence was at a good level (69.7; VAS 0–100). No statistically significant differences in nurse competence assessments occurred between students who passed the ACS test and those who failed it.

Conclusion: While graduating nursing students have a good level of nursing competence, their knowledge in the nursing of a patient with ACS was poor. It is important to emphasize the nursing of a patient with ACS in nursing education and to pay especially close attention to interpreting the patient’s electrocardiogram findings.
