Contract systems and grading policies.

Abstract

The contract system can be a motivating factor to student learning. Caution is necessary to ensure the students who are graduating from the program have the knowledge base to pass the SBTPE. The faculty of one program believe their contract system which has evolved from five years of experience meets these criteria. Furthermore, patient care ultimately benefits. The nursing student exposed to an educational system in which his individual worth is recognized and learning needs met can respect the patient's rights and his individual health needs.
