I am Wency, a registered nurse in the Philippines. I recently passed the IELTS (8.5, 7,7,7) and the NMC part 1 competency test which is the CBT. Now, I am preparing for the final test which is the OSCE. I am currently in the United Kindom particularly in Lincolnshire, and I would like to ask you guys if you know a training agency in the UK that provides training or preparatory course for OSCE because I am not confident to take it yet for some reasons that the Uk healthcare system is different from the Philippines perhaps they have different approach in providing care to the patients and etc.
Tuition fee for intensive revision for OSCE is not a problem as long as I can enroll for revision.
Hey, you don't have to worry at all. I think nerves and worry was what caused mine, as long as you prepare and practice well, u should be fine. you can email on me [email protected], we can share ideas.
Took the OSCE two weeks ago and passed it on my first take at University of Northampton!
All I can say is, practice, practice and practice!!! And the support of your trust/hospital will definitely go a long way.
With that being said, despite being so prepared with the exam, the pressure at Northampton almost took its toll on my chances of passing the exam. On my 1st bay, I was clearly not the same way I was in practice and forgot a few things so I made sure that the next stations were a different story. And it was!
For those who already have an OSCE experience, can you give me what chapters to study in Royal Marshden book (Manual of Nursing Practice-not really the exact title). I want to read/study in advance while waiting for my DL. I hope that you can help me with these. You can send the pointers/topics to ready in my email [email protected]
Thank you! Good luck to us all.
Hi, has anyone taken the OSCE in the last few weeks? Like since they added a bunch of things to the potential task list. Also, how do you study for APIE part? I just don't know what I should be reading or memorising! Please help. My email is [email protected]
Thanks fissure, and congrats. I would be very grateful if I can talk to you, my exam is next week feb 28. I am still unsure of a few things like do I need to do handrub when entering the room? , because I am used to talk to the patient first and wash my hands then check wristband. Please help. Thank you very much
you are inside the room when the timer starts, so you are basically doing hand washing/rub before goin near the patient.
