Abstract
Nursing education in Nigeria is undergoing vital reforms including the introduction of EExaminations. The study assessed the perception and attitude of nursing undergraduates in
Edo State University, Uzairue, Edo State towards the professional e-examination for General
Nurses in Nigeria. A descriptive survey of 78 students who had sat for the professional
examination. The instrument for data collection was the researchers-developed Questionnaire.
The reliability was established through the test-retest method using Cronbach’s alpha which
yielded co-efficient of 0.76. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 27 and reported in the
form of frequency, percentages, mean, rank and standard deviation. The surveyed
undergraduates had positive perception ( 𝑥̅=3.41) and attitude ( 𝑥̅=3.61) towards the
professional e-examination. However, findings of the study captured fear, anxiety and
technical issues as factors affecting the nursing undergraduates’ attitude. Also, perception was
not significantly related to the attitude of the nursing undergraduates. It was recommended
that “The Council” should consider instant release of scores to students to aid students’ selfevaluation.
