Rushton, Patricia; Eggett, Dennis
Journal of Professional Nursing, v19 n3 p142-48 May-Jun 2003
Of four groups of medical-surgical nurses, 55 took one final and three midterm written exams, 150 took one each (written), 45 took an oral final, 92 took both written and oral, and 47 took a written test with licensure questions and an oral final. Oral exams resulted in higher scores, more effective study habits, and increased application. (SK)
