Nurse Educ. 2008 Sep-Oct;33(5):206-9. doi: 10.1097/01.NNE.0000312219.52214.3c.

Abstract

Nursing education literature reveals a proliferation of articles about interventions designed to prepare undergraduate nursing students for success on the professional licensure examination. An intervention featured in much of this literature is a comprehensive testing program. However, there is little information about implementing a curricular adoption of such a program. The authors discuss this issue and provide guidance to faculty and schools of nursing in adopting a comprehensive testing and review program.
