Did you see this OSCE thread? https://allnurses.com/nurse-registration/osce-observational-structured-812862-page21.html

in post #265 kakaru gave some good tips to help prepare for the OSCE

Hello fellow IENs!
Don't be discouraged by the low passing rate. I would say go for it!
I passed the osce last august. It was tedious and quite hard but can be done!
Few tips:
Read the standards of care in CNO website as well as the examples
Review on physical assessment & history taking plus focus assessment
Watch you tube on how to deal with psyche pts manic/depressive/suicidals
How to deal with angry pts or relatives
Health teachings
Therapeutic communication
End of life care/palliative care
Practice in front of a mirror & pretend that you are talking to someone so you can observe your own gestures and tone of voice
Good communication skills is an asset so practice talking
Cases are easy its just that its too many and tiring!
Invest time practising & reviewing and give your best shot
Remember that if you pass it saves you a lot of time & money
Good luck!!! All the best!!![/quote

I don't know if you are aware but HealthForceOntario offers OSCE preparation sessions, look on their website for more information.

hey, i had seen all those and have even registered with HFO,but still,it will be helpful if I could get suggestions or interact with someone. That's the reason I have created this forum. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hi fellow nurses! Is this forum for UK or Canada nurses?

I think this is for Canada..

CNO is College of Nurses Ontario therefore Canada is the country concerned in this thread
