Why We Changed Our NMC OSCE Course Format (Adult / General Nursing OSCE Edition)


Why We Changed Our NMC OSCE Course Format (Adult / General Nursing OSCE Edition)


Background

For over 8 years, we have consistently delivered 3 - 7 day NMC OSCE courses, with all of the training done each day in succession. Whilst we have met some excellent nurses over the years and maintained good pass rates, we found that some Adult (General) Nurses were feeling stressed at the idea of achieving all of the competencies within a week and pressured that if you did not, you would not have support for your big day. This did not sit well with the IELTS Medical team - we always want you to feel at your best and most confident when you take any exams after training with us.
