Findings of high inter-rater reliability point to the usefulness of the portfolio in summative assessment of competency, if accompanied by the appropriate supportive mechanisms. Shortcomings in the validity and reliability of the portfolio as an assessment tool are apparent and need to be addressed before this tool can be used in high-stake final decisions. © 2012National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing.
