Abstract

This study is an education experiment based on a comparative approach, where two clinical exams – a bedside exam and a written case study exam – are investigated simultaneously. The article explores what’s going on in the two exams and how nursing students assess and experience them. Based on these findings, we discuss the types of logics, knowledge, and competencies the
two exams enhance and limit, respectively.
