Abstract

In the fall of 2000, the licensing examination for nursing taken by candidates in the Province of Quebec was altered to include an oral practical component. This article describes how a group of nurse clinician educators, despite severe time and human resources constraints, developed a unique and interactive program to assist graduate unlicensed nurses to successfully prepare for this new examination process.
