In order to succeed in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination
(OSCE), nursing students need to know not just what an OSCE involves,
but how to undertake the skill correctly at each OSCE station. This book
is a complete guide on how to prepare for an OSCE with step-by-step
instructions for the ten most common OSCE stations that nursing students
can face.
Specific stations range from asceptic non-touch technique, communication
and observations, to more highly pressured skills such as medication
administration, resuscitation and assessing a deteriorating patient.
Nursing OSCEs: a complete guide to exam success covers these skills and
more in a clearly structured and concise way. Each OSCE chapter
outlines:
DT Key revision material enabling quick and complete revision

DT An example examiners marking sheet, so studetns know the criteria
they will be measured against
DT Typical questions an examiner may ask and suggested answers
DT Common errors to avoid and top tips for success.
With over 70 illustrations and videos of four OSCE stations, it
demonstrates how to pass key stations. Bonus online material includes
