osce ( observational structured clinical examination)

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!!

Hi Rianne & to all IEN, i just registered to this website today.I read all your discussions about osce.I,too, received letter from the CNO regarding this osce.You are right,group discussions & practice of different scenarios are helpful to all of us who will be taking this exams.I'm very much willing to join the group. How will i contact you? Thanks.

the exam will go like this.

first we will register there, then, we will write the multiple choice exam. then we'll just have a short break then we will start with the OSCE.. you will be entering rooms, like 12 rooms, you wont really knw what's in there..it could be a patient with chestpain, pediatric patient, it could be a problem with a doctor or colleagues, it could be an aggressive patient.and you will perform what appropriate nursing managements(according to canadian standards) for each cases.

I have not decided with CEHPEA until now. forever24 wants to connect with you so we can help each other...
