The OSCE is the final qualifying test of competence required by the NMC for an overseas nurse to become a registered nurse here in the UK. Its most current version (2021) requires 10 stations where a candidate nurse must demonstrate their skills and knowledge while being observed. For nurses from overseas, the OSCE is the single most important hurdle they must overcome to jump-start their nursing journey once they arrive here in the UK. The OSCE, based on its marking criteria, will only give either a pass or fail result. There is no numerical value or grading system.
These are some of the most common mistakes:
· Lack or failure of Communication.
· Failure to read the scenarios and instructions accurately and properly.
· Unable to complete the documentation on time.
· Failure to perform hand hygiene.
· Failure to identify patient’s allergy.
· Identifying the patient properly.
· Failure to obtain consent from the patient.
· Failure to ensure a safe environment.
· Failure to complete skills on time.
