title: Computerized testing in a nursing curriculum. A case study.
abstract: Computerized testing has a place in nursing curricula with benefits shared between faculty and students. The author chronicles the activities surrounding the implementation of computerized testing in a nursing program. Key issues concerning faculty involve software selection, test proctoring, student honesty, and security of computer files. Students prefer the new testing format, question feedback and the option of Saturday examinations and they feel more prepared for the computerized licensure exam.
