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!!

hey guys...im an IEN too from phil.i was wondering if i should call the CEPHEA for the confirmation for the OSCE? coz until now i haven't received any call...any advice?thanks guys

@msER

We have the same situation. I have sent the option form stating I would like to take the evaluation test more than two weeks ago, but until now I haven't hear from CEPHEA. I will call CNO today to know what happen there. -kababayan

If you did not receive the link and submitted your application to Cehpea on March 18 which is their deadline for March 27 OSCE exam then you might have it on their next schedule....:)
