In Australia and Norway final examinations to determine eligibility for registration as a nurse were discontinued during the period when nurse education moved into the higher education sector. In response to recent calls for the reintroduction of final examinations we explore the range of knowledge needs for the practice of nursing. These various forms of knowledge demand different forms of mediation and acquisition as well as assessment. There are numerous problems identified in the literature about the shortcomings of examinations as the foundation of assessing clinically based professions. There is a need to develop systems of appropriate assessment to ensure that graduates of nursing demonstrate adequate knowledge and competence to enter their profession.
在澳大利亚和挪威，当护理教育进入高等教育领域期间，停止了确定护士注册资格的期末考试。针对最近重新引入期末考试的呼声，我们探讨了护理实践所需的知识范围。这些不同形式的知识需要不同形式的调解、获取以及评估。文献中指出了许多关于将考试作为评估临床专业基础的缺点的问题。有必要开发适当的评估系统，以确保护理专业毕业生具备足够的知识和能力进入该行业。
