title: Lessons learned from collaborative testing.
abstract: Is collaborative testing a valuable tool for use within nursing education? This study discusses the lessons learned from the use of collaborative testing with sophomore nursing students in their first medical-surgical nursing course. Although the findings did not necessarily support previous research in all areas, the students reported development of collaborative and communication skills as well as critical thinking and conflict management.
