Implementation.
🤖You can't read the prescription like a robot you need to make the correct clinical decision to give a medication.
Here is what I teach my nurses to answer at each prescription to ensure you make the right and safe decision to give the medication.
Remember before doing this you have completed the full ID and allergy check.
Next look at the time of the medication before you start talking.
⛔ Not due at your time just verbalise this and move on no need to read anything else and waste time .
✅ Due at your time these are your next steps.
Each time you come to a prescription due at your time actively think.
✅1. Is it a medication that seems appropriate to give for the patients condition or past medical history. This is where your underpinning drug knowledge helps massively.
✅2. Is the prescription valid which means it, is for the right patient and must have a drug name, date, dose, frequency, time, start date, finish date, prescripers signature, contact and print name.
✅3. Is it safe to give to the patient? Do they have an allergy, do you need to know any other information for example blood pressure, pulse rate.
If you do this correctly for every prescription it doesn't matter what is prescribed you will be able to do it correctly.
🤖Remember don't be a robot be a critical thinking nurse.

🎉 Congratulations to my recent nurses on passing your NMC OSCE! 🎉
Every success story looks a little different.
Some prepared using my free YouTube classroom.
Some chose the self-paced e-learning platform.
Others benefited from one-to-one tutoring.
Different nurses. Different learning styles. Different journeys.
Because learning is individual and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to OSCE preparation.
What does remain consistent is:
✅ High-quality, evidence-based learning resources.
✅ The opportunity to ask questions and deepen understanding.
✅ A commitment to learning UK nursing practice, not simply memorising scripts.
✅ The dedication and hard work each nurse puts into their preparation.
Success comes from finding the learning approach that works for you, staying consistent, and putting in the effort.
To everyone who has recently passed, well done! You should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. I wish you every success as you begin your career as a registered nurse in the UK

Why there is no "best" OSCE trainer in the UK.
It has been a while since I wrote an article, but every time I see an unsubstantiated claim about OSCE training, I find myself wanting to write about it to increase awareness and help international and return to practice nurse make informed decisions before handing over their hard-earned money.
In OSCE training there is currently:
✅ No independent ranking system.
✅ No national accreditation for OSCE training providers.
✅ No external quality assurance framework comparing providers.
✅ No recognised process that determines who is "the best."
That doesn't mean providers offering these claims don't deliver excellent training. It simply means these statements cannot be independently verified.
As an NMC-registered nurse, we are expected to be open, honest and evidence-based, not only in our clinical practice, but also in how we communicate with our learners.
It's one of the reasons you'll never see me market my own training as "the best". Every nurse learns differently, and the right course for one person may not be the right course for someone else.
This explores why I think international and return-to-practice nurses deserve transparent information that helps them make informed choices, rather than relying on marketing claims alone.
