Nurse Tutor - Tutoring with Hannah

I am officially back home and in the office. I will be working through all messages and emails over the next couple of days. Please check your junk folder for any emails.

I am currently fully booked until the end of September.

Disappointed to hear that the Oxford Brookes Test of Competence Centre will be closing on the 31st of July.

For nurses in the South West of England, this leaves only Northampton and Leeds as test centres, significantly increasing travel and accommodation costs. Oxford Brookes was also a particularly convenient location for international nurses arriving through London to undertake their OSCE.

During my time running NHS Trust training programmes, more than 200 of my nurses completed their examinations there. The staff were always professional, maintained rigorous examination standards, and regularly contacted me for feedback to help improve the candidate experience.

Unfortunately, candidate numbers have reduced significantly in recent years.

Oxford Brookes also remained fully impartial, as a national test centre should. It never associated itself with, or rented space to, OSCE training companies. While this commitment to independence may have contributed to its closure, I strongly believe that national test centres should remain entirely impartial and avoid commercial associations that can then be used as marketing tools by training providers.

The loss of Oxford Brookes is disappointing not only for candidates but also for employers as it reduces accessibility and increases costs for nurses seeking registration in England.

You can read more including all the dates and advice to candidates on the the NMC website.

The out-of-office reply is on. I am going away for a few days with my daughter to celebrate the end of her exams.

All enquires and messages will be answered on my return.

I am currently fully booked for one-to-one tutoring until the end of September.

Amazing results from my YouTube subscribers this week. Passing their exams and studying totally for free. I have lost count of how many nurses have passed their exam for free now, but it must be well over 200. The channel has no practical demonstration videos for nurses to copy but clear tutorials on nursing theory, evidence-based practice and rationale-focused care.

My YouTube channel is an open-access asynchronous classroom.

✅ Clear up-to-date OSCE exam station tutorials
✅ Nursing theory, evidence-based and rationale-focused.
✅Paid advertising free
✅Every questions answered
✅No hard marketing or sign-up to other services

Its goal is simple: to provide an alternative education resource for nurses that cannot attend formal training and break down the barriers to them progressing with their nursing registration.

Congratulations to Emma on successfully passing her adult OSCE exam and returning to practice.

Emma used my free YouTube channel to prepare and a single one-to-one session before her exam.

A hugely experienced UK nurse is now returning to practice and bringing back to the workforce and to patient care her years of experience. Wishing Emma all the best with her return to practice.

If you are a previously registered nurse thinking of returning to practice and not sure where to start, I am here to support you. As a UK nurse and educator, I provide free YouTube, e-learning and one-to-one preparation, reducing many of the barriers to regaining your registration.
