Hello all,
We at OHI have not run into it as much. We would consider a test that was
developed by someone with expertise in diversity and cultural competency as
it is a great liability to set someone up for failure if you do not possess
those skills in test development.

Dear CRMA Instructors,
Is anyone out there using a reading assessment test to screen potential
students before they register for crma classes? We are starting to be
overwhelmed by students wanting to take crma whose first language is
not English. Many have done just fine, but several students have
started the course and then ended up failing due to language
difficulties.
I believe that the TABE test costs quite a bit of money. We are
thinking of creating our own comprehension test and requiring that all
students take it prior to registration.
Is there a test already out there that any of you are using? Are any
of you running into the same challenge and, if so, how are you handling
it?
Many thanks,
Kate O'Neill, RN
