Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the application effect of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) model in the comprehensive practical training course for higher vocational nursing. Based on the evaluation dimensions of core nursing competencies, the OSCE framework was constructed with the clinical nursing work process as the main focus and supported by a nursing case database. A questionnaire survey revealed that over 80% of students in the experimental group were satisfied with the application of OSCE in the nursing comprehensive practical training course, and more than 90% believed that OSCE assessment enhanced their theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The OSCE was also considered helpful in transforming learned knowledge and skills into professional competencies.
