๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ - what does ongoing support and flexibility actually look like in reality? โฃ
โฃ
For even my most basic NMC OSCE preparation and support package, I include ongoing, person-centred support and flexibility. โฃ
How does it help and why do I offer it? โฃ
โฃ
โข Feedback on all written work and practice recordings - this takes time but is worth every second. โฃ
โฃ
Why? It allows me to assess progress and give personalised feedback which enables focus work on your individual, specific areas.โฃ
โฃ
Example - Today is a marking day and I will prioritise feedback for those who are sitting their exam soon, with everyone else knowing the timescale for when they will receive feedback on their work. โฃ
โฃ
This feedback is given verbally, written or a combination of both and will depend on what works best for each learner. โฃ
โฃ
โข Ask me questions outside of online or face to face sessions - you receive an answer from an experienced educator who understands the exam. This reduces confusion, anxiety and doubts, which boosts confidence and competence. โฃ
โฃ
Example - I have answered several questions this week from current learners and will continue to be available for them for support until passes are achieved. โฃ
โฃ
โข Pastoral support - Since 2019, I have supported over 450 nurses to OSCE success under a wide range of circumstances which gives me deep insight into the exam process plus much, much more. โฃ
โฃ
You are not on your own - sometimes an overwhelming day can feel lighter after a chat or exam day is coming up and you need a motivational boost. โฃ
โฃ
Example - this week, I have been in contact with nurses doing their exam this week and next. They are extremely well prepared and have been working hard for months.โฃ
โฃ
However, these pre exam check-ins are still important in case there are last minute questions. โฃ
โฃ
โข Flexibility - all my learners book their sessions in advance to suit their schedules. โฃ
โฃ
However, sometimes life happens and our plans change. Offering flexible scheduling reduces stress and ensures nothing is missed. โฃ
โฃ
Flexibility during sessions - As I offer individual (121) sessions, this means that I can tailor each session to the individual learner, rather than rushing onto the next topic before full understanding and homework completed in preparation. โฃ
โฃ
Example 1 - a current learner had a scheduling issue this week. There was no drama, stress or missing the session, we simply rearranged. โฃ
โฃ
Example 2 - a learner needed more time due to life circumstances. We scheduled a pause in sessions and will restart soon, so they don't get left behind or overwhelmed. โฃ
โฃ
๐กUltimately, OSCE success will depend on the individual candidate, how they prepare and the work they put in. โฃ
โฃ
๐คHowever, knowing that you have structured, ongoing support and flexibility can make the whole experience just that bit easier. โฃ
โฃ
Wishing you the very best for your OSCE preparations and exam! โฃ
