osce ( observational structured clinical examination)

World Registration

Published

Hi,

I am internationally trained nurse from India. I applied for registration as RN in college of nurses of Ontario Oct 2011. They took over a year and finally determined that my education/ experience is not equivalent to those of current graduates of Canadian nursing program. They have asked me to write Observational Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and pass in order to show equivalency. My question is that have anybody else been asked to take OSCE exam and what to expect? Also what does the college consider while evaluating education as other nurses from my college have been given eligibility without fulfilling any other criteria or exam!!

LenJoy are you scheduled for the OSCE?

Hi.I am form abu dhabi (educated as RN in the Phil) and i have'nt decided yet whether to go for OSCE or option 2 which is to wait for reconsideration.My problem is that i am presently employed and it would be very difficult for me to ask for a short leave to attend OSCE if ever i choose option 1 and my annual leave is still months away (oct) where i am not even sure if the CEHPEA has a sched for OSCE at that time plus the issue of getting a tourist visa going to canada.So up until now i am thinking to go for option 2 but my mind is still torn.Has anyone of you guys got any idea of the possibilities of option 2? Thank you.

Hello,

I received the link from CEHPEA exactly 2 weeks after sending the option form to CNO. CEHPEA gave user name and password to create a account with them.Then you need to submit an application form with fee.There are two choice of dates option 1 & option 2.June 27 and August 15.I submitted application on May 15 and waiting for Invitation.I would update When I receieve the same.

I undesrtand your dilemna, one of my friend sent email to CNO and ask all these things, according to him most probably your application will be consider to possible decision which is to study 18 months but there is probability that you will be reconsidered but thats a little chance. I think for a win win solution is to proceed with the osce. Its just we must have Faith that we will pass the osce, and if its all Gods will, thy will be done.

hi lhot1234rn,

I've known somebody who opted for review by the registration committee;option 2, but later on advised by the CNO to still do the Osce. Hope this helps:yes:. Goodluck:up:
