Intramuscular Injection (IM) OSCE 2021

[@EmerDiego]

UPDATE: No need to resheath the needle. www.nmc.org.uk/globalassets/sitedocuments/registration/toc-materials-2023/marking-docs/rn1-adult-nursing-marking-criteria-2021.pdf

[@iankennettemaniwang5050]

hi sir, just curious, because there has been a number of students who failed their exams in a certain test center area who re-sheathed the blunt needle while using the scooping method. My question is, if re-sheath is not allowed, how would you take away the blunt needle and place the new one?

[@anggemilo]

To all who prepared these videos, thank you very much! I have missed my OSCE trainings due to isolation and have had little amount of time to catch up with the skills. Your videos reassure that they can be done with ease. May He bless you always! I am eternally grateful for the guidance you have been giving to those who are about to start their journey as a nurse in the UK 😊♥️

[@EmerDiego]

Awww. I hope you passed the exams ❤️❤️🥳🥳

Gazik nie jest jałowy, bo po wyjęciu z opakowania był dotykany w każdym obszarze rękawiczkami, poza tym podczas iniekcji igła nie była stabilizowana przez drugą rękę. Po zaaspirowaniu zmieniała swoją pozycję.

[@claracole8332]

I watched your videos as I passed my OSCE age days ago. Thanks for the great work you re doing 😘🙏🏾

[@EmerDiego]

Awww well done Clara. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

2-day online final coaching www.eventbrite.com/e/2-day-online-osce-final-coaching-tickets-666670638827?aff=oddtdtcreator UPDATE: Please make sure to check and read the latest marking criteria. The test centres normally update it every so often. This video was filmed way back. Good luck everyone!

[@easterlim8866]

No other dates for final coaching?

[@penggotchie]

Thanks for your vids! Really helpful and i hope to pass my legacy osce coming soon. Also i read some comments, i just want to say that this is not just for school, this is for OSCE, it is a practical test for those who wish to become a registered nurse in UK. I studied nursing in Singapore, graduated in 2012 and back then we were also taught to check all items to be used are dry, intact and not expired. So yes, this video is very good and ticks all requirements in marking criteria (based on legacy osce marking criteria)

[@EmerDiego]

Awww. Good luck and may the force be with you ❤️

[@henlo3963]

Hi, Emer! I can see in the video that the excess medication of hydroxycobalamine was disposed in the yellow bin, is it the sharps bin? Is it okay to do during OSCE? Thank you 😊

[@travelsxv]

excellent video but FYI the latest marking criteria (July 2024) don't require an apron and gloves anymore. Also don't need to clean the site if it's clean just verbalise the 30/30 if need be.

[@EmerDiego]

yup please check the marking criteria regularly. goodluck

[@danieldarah2902]

Indication(s) for injection?? Any side effects of the drug please?

[@emilyh7912]

in the OSCE will we be preparing the medication in the patient room?

[@theresaani1379]

Emerr i also watch your video, it's been so help and i love your lady, so professional and fast. but the latest criteria says do not pull back the plunger unless using Dorsogluteal muscle, kindly confirm. thanks

[@EmerDiego]

Yes that is correct , only pull the plunger back if dorsogluteal. goodluck

[@walkwithmeASMR]

What I am confused about is that I have never in my life had an injection and thr nurse has swabbed my arm for 30 seconds?

[@babajideezekieloiuwafemi1533]

If this is a glass ampoule,how do we break it please? Any instrument to break it?

[@chichidaniels2677]

Why have I not seen sterile technique, sterile gloves

[@elizclark4912]

You didn't confirm with patients ID band. Patients could answer to anything.

[@lenijobyjohnmurimattathil4247]

Hello sir , aren’t we suppose to read the prescription only again before administering or befor preparing equipment is it enough? Please answer

[@EmerDiego]

do it before preparing the equipment and once is enough. How will you know what to prepare if you haven't done that. good luck

[@emernelson]

@@EmerDiego hello just to confirm, as of 2023 marking criteria IM #12 Depresses the plunger at aprox 1ml every 10sec. (ONLY if using dorsogluteal muscles: pulls back the plunger to check for blood aspiration.) Are using real ampules during the exam? Thanks for uploading videos :) :)

Hi heart, of course its 30 seconds . Can you imagine filming the entire 30 seconds that would be boring

[@ianluigilopez3319]

Hello Emer! I just have a question.. According to my review center, in IM injection, you dont need to aspirate anymore.. How true is that?Thank you..

[@EmerDiego]

Hi Ian, if you read the note on the screen- you no longer need to aspirate unless you are administering the im medication via dorsogluteal muscle. So yeah no need based on the latest criteria

[@ianluigilopez3319]

Oh im sorry.. Im actually focusing on your actions..Thank you again Emer!

30 seconds as per marking criteria but normally the assessor will tell you that 30 seconds has passed

[@jdd5537]

Why on Earth do you have to state that the packaging is dry and intact plus the expiration date for every single item!? I get that this is for school and in school you have to do things a certain way, but is that seriously a requirement now!? Like to actually state it for the camera for each item!? I graduated from nursing school in 2013, and skills check offs were definitely picky, but not this picky! Lol. I guess things have changed! Watching this gave me anxiety!

[@EmerDiego]

Lol. Good luck

This is 100% how it's done in an osce in terms of checking dates etc.

With this speed.. I would be never be able to manage all work as a nurse..

[@jamaiimarie]

Hi Bea, yes, you are correct! However, this is for the OSCE skills station, and you need to be meticulous so your assessor can assess you correctly. If you do it fast, they won’t be able to mark you. And remember your exam is being recorded in the test centre.

[@ghislaineauguste55]

Touching the sharp bin a lot

[@jamaiimarie]

Hi Ghislaine, wondering if there’s any problem with touching the sharps bin. You have to be safe, especially with handling sharps. That’s why you need to close it halfway, so the needles inside won’t be spilt if the bin is accidentally dropped on the floor.

[@liaqatkhan1697]

patient is no response.😂

[@estherobilikwu4523]

Hello, I watched your video and i failed, It is wrong to scoop and re-sheath needles 😢. People will fall if they watch this! Please remove it if it is possible , please 🙏 Thank you.

[@EmerDiego]

Sorry about that. I've pinned a comment at the comment section warning everyone about resheathing a couple of months ago and also discussed this during my live classes. Apologies for the confusion. Please always refer to the marking criteria
