The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has been widely used in medical education and showed its validity and reliability to measure the students’ clinical competence. In nursing education, the use of OSCE was also reported in the literature. However, it was still unclear about the gold standard to implement OSCE in nursing education since nursing has special characteristics which may difference with medical. Faculty of Nursing Padjadjaran University has also adopted OSCE as a tool to measure students’ competence in clinical nursing skills. Nevertheless, there was no well standard to conduct OSCE that resulted potential bias in evaluation the students’ competence. This action research study was aimed to develop standardized OSCE to measure the students’ clinical competence in nursing. Data were collected through focus group discussion, interview, and observation, and analyzed qualitatively. Findings from the first step of the study highlighted some important issues regarding limitations and insufficiencies in OSCE implementation. The findings suggested for the next steps to strengthen the human resources involved in OSCE and formulate a well-organized OSCE system.
