2. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

   TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

   Hi Green_Grass, my understanding from some agencies and the NMC is that they are in a bit of a shock that this is even an issue so I don't know that it has received the criticism that it deserves!

   Hi Wrigley, are you interested in trying to mobilise a bit of a group to complain to the NMC and also bring it to jouranlist and MP's attention? I really want to get a few people together to try and combat this ridiculous exam.

4. UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

   TSwiftRN replied to UK Gal's topic in Registration

   Yes! Why are there no training resources? It is an exam for INTERNATIONAL NURSES, we could certainly use and appreciate some help/training. That's why the ONP made sense to me because you were actually trained on how things are done and then judged a...

5. UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

   TSwiftRN replied to UK Gal's topic in Registration

   Anyone on here had significant problems with the OSCE? I haved failed twice now for pedantic reasons that are completely unrelated to competence. There really seem to be no realistic avenues for appeal or complaint though? The University will never a...

   TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

   The more I think about it the more I think NMC really don't actually care. They have gone out of their way to make the process so hard. Additionally, if you do fail twice they close your application and you need to do your application again. This mea...

8. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

   TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

   Hi WrigleyRN, are you able to point me in the direction of the nurses you mention who are trying to have the NMC do away with the OSCE completely? I would imagine that with a less than 50% pass rate for first time test takers there must be hundreds o...

   Hi Kiwi_RN, did you contact an MP or a journalist at all? Have you gotten any traction with the NMC?

10. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

    Hi Kiriann, Thank you for your post. I could not agree more that the exam is far too expensive and that the money would be much better spent on a course like return to nursing where the nurses can actually be trained on how things operate in the UK! ...

11. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

    As Kiriann points out below it is much harder than Australia. You are absolutely correct that each country should be able to determine their own rules regarding how international nurses are registered (ironically in the UK they have not been able to ...

    TSwiftRN replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International

    Hi All, What a great forum and what a ridiculous exam this OSCE is!! I have failed twice now for such stupid pedantic reasons given by UoN. I agree that it seems to be a money making ploy for them. Less than 50% of candidates pass the first time. How...
