title: Student competence profile: the Wollongong approach.
abstract: The difficulty in developing clinical assessment tools for the clinical evaluation of nursing students which will motivate the students is a problem faced by all nurse educators. At the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, the lecturing staff in the new Diploma of Applied Science (Nursing) programmes have formulated a Student Competence Profile (SCP) for the clinical evaluation of students. This SCP, which they describe here, has been organized to reflect the objectives of the course curriculum.
