The best results were achieved for the diagnositc reasoning (87%) and the higher number of failures in the practical skills test (57%). The students who had previously passed the exams of the nursing courses had a lower number of failures (3% vs 29%).CONCLUSIONS:exposure to the skills assessed and to the differences between what is thaugh in the classroom and what the students observe in practice. A close collaboration is needed with ward nurses to reduce the gap between theory and practice and the variability of assessment criteria.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
