The development of an online instrument for prior learning assessment and recognition of internationally educated nurses: A pilot study
A fully online prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) tool for internationally educated nurses (IENs) was developed and tested by an inter-professional team at Ryerson University. The tool consisted of two stages: a self-assessment component followed by a multiple-choice examination and na...
