CONCLUSION

The OSCE has several distinct advantages. In view of these, the nurse
educators can adopt it as an objective method for clinical evaluation.
This will help the students to improve their clinical competence. The
emphasis is on assessing what students can do rather than what they
know. Therefore, OSCE gives direction for attaining the ultimate aim
of the teaching- learning process
