OSCE REVISION for NMC REGISTRATION

Published

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.

Congrats ukrn2017!

Hi Mdg,

Do not re-sheath.

I think that you are supposed to use the nontouch scoop method to recap the drawing up needle. We would never resheath in the US, but that's what was recommended in my prep classes here and what I did during my IM scenario...

Hi guys,

I am sitting my OSCE next Tuesday (2nd May) Just looking for any advice regarding the care plan. I have read in the candidate handbook that people have previously failed because they didn't include self-care elements.

Also, in regards to BLS in Australia we follow DRSABCD, the hospital trust I am working with follows this also. However, in the UK resuscitation guidelines it is different - It states Safety, Response, Airway, BReathing, send for help, circulation. Again any advice would be great.

Like everyone, I really would ideally like to pass first time round.

Thank You,

Goodluck to everyone

I used DRSABC (no defibrillation in BLS here, though it was part of my recommendation in my SBAR report) I passed my BLS scenario. Watch the scenario videos on the British resuscitation web site.

Thanks for the clarification. I asked the question before I went through royal marsden. But it doesn't say anything about waiting 10seconds after giving like the IM. So what do you think? Should we wait 10 seconds after giving it? Thanks

The recommendation is 10 secs for each ml then 10 secs post injection then withdraw.

Hello fissure,

I am going to take exam next week

If I need to give antihypertensive tablets in the implantation. Do i need to ask for any heart rate or blood pressure before giving it ?

In BLS do I need to loudly count the compressions. Is it a major mistake if we are not doing so? Because I get exhausted by counting all 30 loudly.

Plzzz anyone answer me...

You should ensure that you have any information (i.e. Vitals) you would need prior to giving any medications.

You should always count the compressions out loud when doing two person CPR so that the person manning the BVM knows the correct timing for the two breathes. Also, it allows the team working with/around you to be aware of the number of cpr cycles that have been done.

Or, you can directly throw the syringe+needle without cap in the sharps bin.

Please be careful asking for and discussing things on the OSCE as the testing is supposed to be protected so it is fair for everyone who takes it. Plus usually a confidentiality agreement is signed

During the exam, can you hear the noise from other candidates being tested? If so won't that distract/disturb you during you exam?
