Heinrich and Sherr have highlighted the value of peer mentorship in developing teaching skills in nurses: it provides an opportunity for learning within an environment that is supportive, collaborative, and egalitarian.1 Qualities within a peer relationship also can be harnessed to promote effective assessment skills in nursing. To be responsive and proactive to change, nurses need to critically examine the forces that influence the profession.2 Experiential learning of the forces of self-regulation, accountability, and evidence-based reporting within undergraduate nursing courses is one way to encourage students to be critical, vital participants in the nursing profession. A peer review activity was devised within an Australian undergraduate nursing program to enhance students' clinical competence, sensitize them to the process of peer review in professional practice, and develop evaluation skills.
