The assessment of student nurses.
This paper starts from the personal view that there are a number of issues related to the process of assessment which require investigation. It is suggested that a model of the assessment process might help clarify the present situation. The Brunswik lens model is explained and then expanded and adapted to facilitate its application to the assessment of student nurses in the clinical environment. Finally an 'armchair' evaluation of the model is undertaken with suggestions being offered for future investigation strategies.
