Portfolios are increasingly used to demonstrate and assess competence in nursing practice, yet when introduced in our Australian nursing school, reactions from students were mostly negative. A follow-up survey sought students' perceptions about the portfolio. Respondents acknowledged the portfolio's intrinsic worth but reported little extrinsic value beyond passing the assessment. The authors discuss the implications and suggests strategies to improve portfolio use in undergraduate nursing education.
