Abstract

Nurse faculty make important decisions about student academic performance and progression. Faculty-developed written exams remain the most important assessment strategy in nursing programs. Given the high-stakes nature of nursing exams, it is imperative that they are evidence-based. However, little is know about faculty who implement evidence-based testing practices most often.
