"We need to ensure that study days are valuable"

Article Abstract:

The nurses who are undertaking final OSCE exams as part of their masters degree should utilize all their study days correctly and properly. The study time should not be treated as time away from the stresses of the ward and they should make the study days available beneficial to themselves, their patients and their employers.
