International Nurses – OSCE Preparation training programme

To be honest, my OSCE experience was so overwhelming yet one of the most rewarding parts of being a nurse.

I was really thinking how to handle all those things and contain it inside my brain. But with the guidance of all lecturers, sharing their expertise and experience all things became straight forward. I learned how to move on my own pace and though quite challenging, I was positive.

And also, all the knowledge and reminders that the lecturers gave was so useful.

During the exam all my nerves were really shaking. I prayed for wisdom that I will be able to finish the exam with composure. Overall, while it may be a straining experience the reward after it was so invaluable.

And I am very grateful to all the people who have become part of my UK Registered Nursing journey. A big thank you to God and to all my lecturers. 

Our esteemed instructors, Rhods and Marie, foster a robust and constructive rapport with us, encouraging active participation in class discussions. Catherine's invaluable assistance during our mock examinations is noteworthy, as she provides meticulously detailed feedback on each skill we perform, ensuring our preparedness for the OSCE exam.

I must admit, you guys really understand what you’re doing and are on top of it. 

Not once did I feel scared, lost or incompetent. The genuine desire to teach and make sure we understand is impeccable. 

The facility itself is well-equipped with the desired materials to practice with and this really provides a significant impact on teaching and learning. 

I will recommend the place any day and anytime to whoever wants to learn. 

I am happy and confident that, I will be able to uplift the image of the nursing profession and to follow the standards set by NMC UK. 

Once again many thanks. “Medamoase”  from the Ghana language. 

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible training and support you provided me for my OSCE examination. Thanks to your guidance, patience, and dedication, I was able to pass on my first attempt. I truly couldn’t have done it without you!

I also want to sincerely apologize for the delay in sending this message. The knowledge and confidence you instilled in me during my time at CLCH made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for the effort you put into my training.

Thank you once again for everything you’ve done. I will always be grateful for your kindness and expertise.

I want to take this chance to thank you for all of your help and advice during my exam preparation. As I think back on the experience, I see how helpful your mentoring has been in guiding me through the difficulties of learning and comprehending the UK standards of care.

The frequent review sessions were especially beneficial to me since they helped me pinpoint and concentrate on my areas of weakness. Your helpful support was inspiring and helped me stay on course, especially when I was feeling low about myself.

One aspect that I especially appreciated was the personalised approach you took in understanding my strengths and weaknesses. As the test day drew near, I felt well-prepared thanks to your patience in responding to my enquiries and providing multiple explanations of ideas.

I also had trouble staying organised at times, but I was able to focus again after reading your tips on time management and goal-setting. Your constant reminders to prioritise self-care and keep a balanced approach to learning were essential in avoiding burnout. 

Your mentoring has been really important to my academic growth, not only in terms of exam preparation but also in terms of giving me techniques and abilities that I can use going ahead. I sincerely appreciate the time and work you put into helping me grow, and I'm eager to use what I've learned in the face of adversity in the future. 

Thank you again for being such a positive influence and for your unwavering support.

I want to express my gratitude to the CLCH instructors for helping me pass my OSCE exam in August 2024 before I started working for an NHS Trust in October 2024 as a Band 6. I moved to the United Kingdom in March 2024 after being in the United States for 14 years, practising as a registered nurse for 10 years.

After practising for a while, one’s fear is to be taking another Nursing Licensure Examination especially from a foreign country but the CLCH team made it very easy for me to learn the British way of nursing per NMC Standards; this really made my transition in the UK much easier. 

In retrospect, I can say that each instructor is very dedicated, informative and knowledge experts regarding OSCE. They try to help each student excel in areas where they mostly struggle. It is almost like getting a personalised education and most importantly they have so much passion for helping the students achieve their goals. 

I hope that their mission in helping Internationally trained nurses continues and that their hard work does not go unnoticed. I could not have done it without all of you!
