NMBA OBA OSCE study plan

Build a one-page A-G assessment template and rehearse it aloud against three written deteriorating-patient scenarios

Explain aloud, without notes, the physiological rationale linking each abnormal vital sign to a likely cause and an immediate nursing action

Construct a track-and-trigger escalation ladder that names the calling criteria, the person to call, and the SBAR content for each level

Practise three 5-minute clinical reasoning think-alouds where you state findings, interpret them, and justify a priority action

Perform and narrate a full respiratory and cardiovascular assessment on a peer or simulator, timing yourself to 8 minutes

Interpret five sets of arterial blood gases and twelve-lead rhythm strips, stating the abnormality and the immediate priority

Differentiate compensatory from decompensatory shock using three case vignettes and justify your triage category

Draft a personal list of ten 'red flag' findings that mandate urgent escalation regardless of numeric scores

Demonstrate aseptic non-touch technique for IV cannulation and wound dressing on a simulator while verbalising each critical step

Sequence the five moments of hand hygiene into a clinical scenario and identify two common real-world breaches

Practise safe administration of an IV medication including double-checking, line labelling, and flush rationale

Rehearse correct donning and doffing of PPE and the immediate actions after a sharps injury

Calculate 20 drug doses across weight-based, infusion-rate, and paediatric scenarios with 100% accuracy on a second attempt

Apply the rights of administration and high-risk medication checks to five error-prone vignettes and state the correct action at each point

Explain the pharmacology and nursing precautions for the six most common high-alert drugs you will meet

Rehearse a medication error disclosure conversation using an open-disclosure framework

Apply the four ethical principles and the relevant code of conduct to four dilemmas and defend your chosen action

Draft an SBAR handover for three complex patients and deliver each aloud within 90 seconds

Write three sets of progress notes using a structured format that separates assessment from plan

Identify the correct escalation route when you disagree with a senior clinician's decision, and script what you would say

Demonstrate active listening, open questioning, and summarising in two 10-minute simulated interviews with a peer acting as a patient

Adapt communication for a patient with limited English, a cognitive impairment, and a distressed family member, using an interpreter appropriately

Obtain informed consent for a procedure in a role-play, checking understanding with teach-back

Identify and respond to two dignity or autonomy breaches in written scenarios

Run a full 15-minute integrated station combining assessment, medication administration, and infection control without prompting

Perform a complete timed simulation of a deteriorating patient from recognition through escalation and handover

Audit your own practice against a safety checklist and list three specific corrective actions

Rehearse closed-loop communication and role allocation during a two-person emergency drill

Write a structured reflection on your weakest station using a recognised reflective cycle and derive two learning goals

Complete two full mock OSCE circuits under time pressure and score each station

Consolidate a one-page revision sheet of high-yield safety and escalation triggers

Rehearse a professional development conversation articulating strengths, gaps, and a continuing education plan
