SEC and what to expect?

Published

Hi dear,

Am scheduled to do SEC assessment later this year and am afraid of what to expect. Please what can I do to prepare myself adequately apart from on line post by Mount Royal Uni and CARNA. Please I need some advice from you guys that have gone through this assessment.

Thanks

@Chynny, there are posts about this. I'm very uneducated about the SEC but I went ahead and found you a link outlining what it is and what you need to know. http://www.mtroyal.ca/ProgramsCourses/FacultiesSchoolsCentres/HealthCommunityStudies/Programs/IENAssessmentCentre/SECAssessment/

btw it says right on the website what to expect and how you can prepare for it..

[color=#a30500]what you can do to prepare for your sec assessment:

  • become familiar with the assessment strategies information on this website so that you know what to expect in a similar sec assessment.
  • work through the sample clinical judgment scenarios and triple jump scenario links on this website for study purposes (remembering that the actual modified triple jump assessment will not involve references or leaving the room).
  • refer to carna www.nurses.ab.ca (under resources) to review the “carna entry to practice competencies” and “carna nursing practice standards” to help yourself understand the scope of rn practice in canada and to help with your analysis of your own nursing practice.
  • refer to canadian nurses association (cna) to review the “cna code of ethics document”.
  • review current nursing textbook(s) (published within past 5 years), that cover the knowledge, practices, and procedures of medical/surgical nursing practice.
  • if you are referred for a focused (specialty) assessment, you would also benefit from reviewing a current textbook in maternal-newborn health, child health, and/or mental health nursing.
  • access a canadian registered nurses exam (crne) preparatory book to review expected knowledge.
  • an “optional” osce preparation resource is the nursing picture dictionary tutorial at www.englishforhealth.com to familiarize yourself with canadian health care equipment and supplies that you could be exposed to in your osce assessments.
