The College of Nursing (CON) requires completion of a series of special assessment
examinations for all baccalaureate students. The rationale for these assessment exams is to help
prepare students to be successful on the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX)
which is required for licensure as a registered nurse. The Mid-Curricular Examination is
administered to all students at the end of the second semester of study and is a required learning
activity for NUR 3738 Systems of Care 2: Restoration of Wellness. Students will receive
individual feedback on exam results. In addition, the Health Education Systems, Inc. (HESI)
Exit Examination administered in the fourth semester satisfies the Florida Board of Governors
and University of Florida requirements for nursing student learning outcomes prior to
graduation.
The Elsevier Testing Package, which contains the materials used in semesters 2, 3 & 4, as
preparation and testing which includes the RN Practice Exams, Mid-Curricular Exam, Live 3Day Review Course, and the Exit Exam. The package costs are spread out over the three
semesters to ease the burden. The cost is $146.00 per semester. A web link will be provided in
August by the first day of class and fall semester fee must be paid for by September 20th.
The Mid-Curricular Exam will be administered on Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 9:30am in
CG-28. There are 110 items on the exam and you will have up to 2.5 hours to complete the
computerized exam. Students needing testing accommodations must discuss in advance with Dr.
Sharon Bradley before October 1st. The CON NRC Computer Lab will be the testing site for
students with accommodations.
FACULTY EVALUATION
