OSCE Documentation

I know that there is considerable secrecy about the OSCE (Test of Competence Part 2). But can anyone confirm or deny that when we are doing nursing care plans we need to have rationales and citations of current research with them? The sample documents they provide don't seem to have any place to add this but there is one power point that seems to suggest that it is a requirement.

    Hi Matthew. I think the blank care plans are the ones that we would be using in the OSCE. I think it's a bit crazy to have to reference current best evidence specifically. I'm also struggling with the assessment part. Are you planning on using the AL model that it shown on the COPD case study? Or combining it with head to toe? Because i feel like the AL one would leave big holes medically. Also, Where did you find this care plan powerpoint? I can't seem to locate it on the NILE site?

    We have to cite research whilst writing a care plan?!? Is that an actual joke????

    I do plan on using the AL model. Mainly because this is what the NMC is asking for and I have not found them to be very forgiving when you don't follow their directions to the letter. Reading the book that the model comes from they are much more concerned with nursing diagnoses rather than "medical" ones. The system here seems to be more divided between RNs and MDs than in the US.

    The power point is under "Some learning materials (ADULT) supporting planning care. The Introduction to planning care tab and it is panel #13 of the power-point.

    I did e-mail Northampton and they assured me that you do not need to cite current evidence. So that was good new.

    I contacted Northampton to ask and they assured me that you do NOT need to cite current evidence. Sorry to cause concern.
