The RN OSCE is the practical examination for internationally qualified registered nurses seeking registration in Australia as a registered nurse (RN). It consists of 10 stations (or clinical scenarios) that have been developed to test candidates against the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice.

The OSCE is run strictly to time being two minutes of reading time, and eight minutes of performance time allowed for each station. The OSCE is set at the entry to practice level that is expected of a registered nurse in Australia.
