OSCEs

It’s rolling around to another OSCE window – that memorable day in a SVN’s life when their skills and nerves are put to the test.
I completed them and then cried all the way home. I could only remember the bad stuff. I cried some more. I called work and cried to them.
I had a large glass of Rioja and a Caesar salad and felt better.
It felt like forever and my results came through. Not only did I pass, but I got a pass with credit! Finally I was a qualified vet nurse!
For those sitting now and in the future I have limited words of wisdom – your brain won’t remember much more in a time of stress!
- Breathe
- Read the task
- Do the task you have been asked to do
Good Luck – you can do it!
