Quick Reference Guide 5: Sample OSCE Scenario

Image
By

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is the practical or clinical simulation part of the nursing skills and knowledge assessment administered by a College- or an Association-accredited institution (e.g. Touchstone Institute). The entire exam will be composed of 12 scenarios with patient actors and an examiner. We created a scenario to give you a heads up on what happens in an OSCE.

 Here's the flow of an OSCE scenario about Pain (click on the images):

The examiner MAY ask questions to the candidate to test critical thinking skills. Examiners have a rubric to mark the performance of the candidate based on categories and competencies set by the Colleges or the Associations of Registered Nurses. The following images below are categories, competencies and domains in the context of the given scenario above.


Below is the list of domains upon which the examiner will base the candidate's global overall rating and will record comments on strengths and weaknesses.

    Hi Pinoy, I found this page of you about the OSCE. I am actually taking mine on Aug 16th, I believe I am ready, but that"s easier said than done as I view this exam to be highly subjective and not-so book based.

    I am curious where you got this sample scenario for the OSCE RN , can you recommend a source ( book perhaps ), a little more readiness wont hurt as far as I am concerned.

    Thanks!

To be able to practice nursing in a province, the nurse must initially hold a full , unrestricted nursing license not temporary or provisional licenses. Like in the States, you can hold multiple nursing licenses in Canada as well! Yes. With a price. To end the rumors of not being able to practise anywhere in Canada, here are 5 helpful tips to process license reciprocity across Canada: (1) Read the Out-of-Province Reciprocity requirements of the province where you wish to move or practice Learning the reciprocity processes would help you formulate a game plan prior to moving to the province or applying for nursing jobs in that province.

If you happen to be a group member since the group's inception in 2015, you would definitely encounter her pinned post on the wall. She crisscrossed Canada ever since she moved in 2010 travelling frequently to and from the East to West vice versa. Her story is worth knowing. Mirriam Gallego:   Hi Pinoy IEN! I'm Mirriam Gallego. I graduated from Lorma Colleges in La Union in 2006. I never held a full-time RN position back home as it was hard to get in hospitals.
