CNAs have to demonstrate their skills. Pilots have to demonstrate their skills. Same with cosmetologists.
Why don't nurses?
What the rationale behind not including a demonstration of basic skills as part of the licensure process?
Are you in favor of a demonstration or not? Why?
A professor of mine once said that the reason why the board exam does not include demonstrated skills is 1. to streamline the process and 2. one can reasonably assume that the applicant becomes competent during the clinical hours a LVN or RN student has to complete under a supervision of a nursing professor.
Well, ideally, yes but....
So what do you think?
P. S. I am a pretty new Allnurses poster so I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseam.
IN relation to your conundrum, it would diffilcult to imagine since a Foreign Nurse enters the country, they would find their screening and interviewing not only by the employer but also by 'immigration' unlikely to lighten up in this erea; in otherwards a demo of their nusing skills has been sufficiently verified, believe me, no demo is needed here. You are getting the 'cream della cream.
At least that is the assumption. I would believe..
