An evaluation meeting was held at the Mersin University School of Nursing to improve assessment and evaluation processes, standardize examination procedures, and strengthen quality assurance efforts.

The meeting, attended by Prof. Dr. Duygu Vefik Uluçay Yılmaz, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing; Prof. Dr. Önder Sünbül, Director of the Center for Assessment and Evaluation Applications and Research; and Özlem Demir, Faculty Secretary, addressed the exam forms used at the faculty and current practices regarding the evaluation of exam results.
