clinical competencies of a nursing student utilizing Objective Structured Clinical Examination

(OSCE). Their aim is to develop OSCE by analyzing the validity and reliability in nursing

they utilized the observational validation of the study which is divided it into two phases: the

design and development of OSCE and validity and reliability analysis. A total of 118 Nursing

Students participated in the study and they were given ten different scenarios incorporated with

six competencies as a component to be extracted from the curriculum. As a result of the study,

the students gave a higher point in Satisfaction and Stress then lowest score were obtained in

Self-assessment. This study will give a valid and reliable method of assessment for our future

nurses and generations. The significance of this study will help our future nurses in maintaining

high standard level of competencies and will serve as an effective tool in research studies related

to clinical simulations.

scales named as the Perceived Stress Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. As a

result of the analysis, the students gave a higher mean score on stress and moderate mean score

on resilience. This study also implicates that the nursing students stress and resilience has a weak

and negative relationship. In addition to the analysis of the study, the result shows a significant

difference between stress and gender, study year level and age. The author concluded that during
