title: Competency outcomes for learning and performance assessment. Redesigning a BSN curriculum.
abstract: In an atmosphere in which disgruntled students appeal to their legislators for intervention and faculty give few unsatisfactory clinical grades, the faculty of this state supported school of nursing began a two-step process to strengthen the assessment of students. The first step consisted of the appointment of a testing committee to provide faculty with ongoing assistance with test construction. The next concerned clinical evaluation.
