Abstract:

The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University applied OSCE to evaluate the clinical ability of nurses in 2017. This paper introduces the design of OSCE from objectives,case selection,station setup and standardized patient use. Taking the application of OSCE assessment of 72 nursing skill contestants in 2017 and 2018 as an example,the implementation methods and effects of OSCE were described. By rationally designing OSCE and applying it to the evaluation of nurses’ clinical ability,it can not only evaluate nurses’ abilities comprehensively,objectively,and flexibly but also can help nursing managers and educators realize the shortcomings in the current training process of nurses. This will definitely drive changes in the training methods of clinical nurses and improve the clinical working abilities of nurses.

Key words: Nurses, Inservice Training, Objective structured clinical examination
