Performance on NBME Part I examination in relation to policies regarding use of test.

From 1971 to 1983, a number of administrative decisions were made at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine regarding the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Part I examination. Students' performance on this examination was found to be associated with administrative decisions that required (a) a passing score for promotion, (b) the student to take the examination, and (c) the student to take an integrated basic sciences review course. A modest improvement in student performance was noted when passage of the examination was made mandatory. The introduction of a review course into the curriculum effected a major upward change in scores that has persisted despite the removal of all requirements to pass, or even take, the Part I NBME examination.

Computer anxiety among nursing students, educators, staff, and administrators.

This article reports the results of a study of computer anxiety among a large (n = 638), diverse sample of nurses (undergraduate and graduate students, educators, staff nurses, and nurse managers). Data were collected using the Oetting Computer Anxiety Scale (COMPAS). Although there was significant variability within and between groups, most nurses exhibited only "mild" computer anxiety and expected to be using computers within three years. Correlates of computer anxiety are also discussed.
