OSCE for nursing

Hello! I've gone to this info session. and it felt really short and certainly wasn't enough. I was one of the candidates who completed the first OSCE. It was a good thing that I had completed tons of nursing skills and communication courses before I went for that test. It was very tricky, challenging and felt like real-life! (The simulated patients were superb actors! I almost cried along with one. Almost.) No amount of ordinary classroom training would've prepared anyone for that.

To nmlola and everyone out there: what's your background? And how are you preparing for the OSCE?

I got my BSN in the Philippines 2007 had almost 3 years experience working in the ER at St. Luke's Medical Center. Submitted applications for RN and RPN last year... and now just waiting...

When I got the letter from the CNO about the option to take the OSCE.. I got really excited and Im looking forward to taking it but now im anxious because I realized I have been out of practice for almost 2 years now!!! That's why right now Im gathering as much info about the OSCE as I can.. :)

to OSCE nurse did you already got the result?

results in 2 months time. roughly around end of May.
