title: Assessment and learning in post-registration nurse education.
abstract: Assessment in nurse education concentrates too much on academic abilities and fails to measure the practical nursing abilities of students. This article argues for a change in emphasis, so that assessment is seen as a part of learning, rather than a series of arbitrary hurdles to be negotiated.
