I feel for you I know exactly what you are going through. I had such frustrating time. This exam is the most ridiculous way to prove if you are a competent nurse. . Stay strong don't let them...
I know I am a good nurse to. But I really feel this OSCE is a waste of money and time. It dosent prove that you are a good nurse at all. Good luck for next
I failed on drawing up medicaion. I appealed it and sent in the NHS guidelines to them as that is what I followed but they wouldn't change their decision the whole thing is bogus. Cleaning the...
They will fail you on the smallest error It's a complete fast the UoN osce. The English trained nurses don't have to sit their osce there. It no use complaining g as it falls on death ears at the NMC...
No my appeals haven't been granted. I have had nothing but heart ache from this whole process. I am going to go to Australia now to work. Much better working conditions and far better
It's much harder than Australia and a whole lot more expensive. I really feel that the OSCE is a very unfair test of competence. It should be available at more than one university not just UoN. The...
I have appealed to the university and the NMC. Just got my response but it is still the same. Let me know if you write to a MP. I just can't understand their fail marks. I failed and supplied evidence...

You must check for beathing for 10 seconds. You must say you are checking for danger and shout for help. Yes drsabc I didn't have to do the defibrillator.. if doing an I'm or SC injection draw up...
You will be fine. Just remember when doing basic life support verbalize out paid you are checking for danmger. Read the Royal marsden book. For dressing change and injection follow it exactly as its...
They even make us sign a paper that we won't discuss what is in the exam. So I will probably never get my registration. It's a load of crap. I think they just make the rules up as they go. Have you...
I think many people just accept that that they have failed. But I couldn't believe it when I was given the reasons why. I appealed to the univeristy, I gave all the evidence I had, that what I did...
Yes I think they should do away with it . They should do a coure instead of this stupid OSCE. It's a complete waste of money. I have a compliant in at the NMC about it but it don't think it will...
