Children's Nursing OSCE Preparation Programme for International Nurses
Our Children's Nursing OSCE Preparation Programme provides training to prepare internationally trained nurses to undertake the Nursing and Midwifery Council's Objective Structured Clinical Examination, or the NMC OSCE, which is part two of the Test of Competence to be eligible to register with the NMS as a Children's Nurse. The programme will help you to successfully prepare for completing the NMC OSCE.
Overview
Our ten day training programme is delivered through a combination of self-directed and virtual learning, and face to face classroom time. This provides you with the opportunity to learn through classroom teaching, hands on role play for clinical stations and mock examinations. Before your programme starts, you will gain access to GOSH GOLD where you will find key resources and materials to help you complete your self-directed learning to prepare for your course. Throughout and beyond the programme, you will be able to access a wealth of resources and materials to help you with your learning and successfully complete your NMC OSCE.
The topics covered in the programme are spread over ten days and include:
