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.
You literally just choose an element of the activities of living that you have assessed (safety, breathing, contolling temp, mobilising, eating and drinking, communication/pain, elimination) and write a care plan- nursing care and self care opportunities. There is no diagnosing. Write up only two problems- this is all in the example documentation. Make sure you choose two that are relevant to the acute problem and that your review time on both is 24 hours.
So pain would be like "analgesia regularly, PRN for breakthrough" etc. Its just basic nursing care planning.
I have a question, I have sent all the NMC forms last Feb 2, and they received it on Feb 9 (as per courier tracking), will NMC notify me thru mail that they receive my papers and how will I know that my documents are already in queue for assessment. TY
Hi Dannel24
I recently sent in all my documents to the NMC. As soon as ALL of your documents have been uploaded onto your portal (meaning... the date at which the last document was uploaded on the portal), that is when you are placed on the assessment queue. I even emailed the NMC just to make sure that I was correct on my own date and they confirmed it for me. The representative wrote to me that it will take 68 days of being on the assessment queue to the receive my DL (unless more information is needed along the way). However, she did not decipher between 68 'business' days or just 68 regular days....

To anyone who has sat the OSCE already or are reviewing now:
During the "Planning" station, we are writing a care plan for the scenario that we are given. Is there a limited number of nursing diagnoses that they can choose from? Because there are hundreds of nursing diagnoses, are we to know every single one and be able to write a care plan for each?
