TI  - Evaluating the objective structured long examination record for nurse education.

AB  - An objective structured long examination record (OSLER) is a modification of the 
      long-case clinical examination and is mainly used in medical education. This 
      study aims to obtain nursing students' views of the OSLER compared with the 
      objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), which is used to assess 
      discrete clinical skills. A sample of third-year undergraduate nursing students 
      (n=21) volunteered to participate from a cohort of 230 students. Participants 
      undertook the OSLER under examination conditions. Pre-and post-test 
      questionnaires gathered the students' views on the assessments and these were 
      analysed from a mainly qualitative perspective. Teachers' and simulated patient 
      views were also used for data triangulation. The findings indicate that the OSLER 
      ensures more holistic assessment of a student's clinical skills and particularly 
      essential skills such as communication, and that the OSLER, together with the 
      OSCE, should be used to supplement the assessment of clinical competence in 
      nursing education.
