Episode 25 - Mastering the OSCE & NCLEX: A Guide for Internationally Qualified Nurses

Mastering the OSCE & NCLEX: Insights from the Latest Podcast Episode

March 23, 20253 min read

If you’re an internationally qualified nurse considering migration to Australia, you may have heard about the OSCE and NCLEX exams. But do you really need to take them? How can you best prepare? In this episode of Making Australian Migration Easy, host Rhea Fawole sits down with Kristine Dawang, founder of AuRNpathway, to discuss how nurses can successfully navigate these exams and take the right steps toward securing AHPRA registration.

Many nurses feel overwhelmed by the process, but with proper guidance and preparation, success is achievable. In this blog, we dive into key takeaways from the episode, including expert insights on what these exams involve, who needs to take them, and how AuRNPathway has helped nurses pass with confidence.

What Did We Cover in This Episode?

Who actually needs to sit the OSCE & NCLEX? Understanding which nurses require these exams and how AHPRA determines eligibility.

The key differences between OSCE & NCLEX in Australia and New Zealand. Why exam formats, content, and expectations differ across countries.

Why so many nurses struggle with these exams. Common mistakes and how to avoid them.

How AuRNPathway supports nurses through the process. Structured training programs with expert guidance to boost success rates.

Upcoming registration changes in 2025. What nurses should do now instead of waiting.

What You Need to Know About OSCE & NCLEX?

The OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) and NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) are assessment tools used by AHPRA for internationally qualified nurses in certain registration pathways. However, not all nurses will be required to take these exams—it depends on where you obtained your qualifications and prior registration status.

📌 Key takeaway: If you’re unsure whether you need to sit these exams, use AHPRA’s self-check tool for guidance.

In the episode, Kristine Dawang shares her expertise on how nurses can prepare effectively, emphasizing that many candidates fail simply because they underestimate the difficulty of the exams or don’t seek the right support.

AuRNPathway’s Proven Approach to Success

Kristine’s team at AuRNpathway specializes in training internationally qualified nurses to pass the OSCE and NCLEX with confidence. Their 100% pass rate for the first batch of students highlights the effectiveness of structured training programs.

🔹 What AuRNpathway Offers:

  • Comprehensive training covering all exam components.

  • Support from experienced nurse educators.

  • A structured approach to help candidates pass on the first attempt.

👩‍⚕️ Pro Tip from Kristine: Many nurses think they can prepare on their own to save money, but failed attempts can be costly. Investing in structured training can actually save time and money in the long run.

Why You Should Start Preparing Now?

Many nurses wonder whether they should wait until the 2025 changes take effect before taking action. The answer? Don’t wait.

🔹 AHPRA’s assessment process takes time, and delaying could mean longer processing times as more applicants apply under the new rules.

🔹 Proper training can significantly increase your chances of passing on your first attempt, reducing overall costs.

🔹 While the registration process may evolve, clinical assessment requirements like OSCE and NCLEX are likely to remain key components.

📌 Final takeaway: Nurses should take proactive steps now to avoid delays and uncertainties in 2025.
