The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), as an important tool for evaluating nursing students’ job competency, has been widely implemented in nursing vocational education in China. This study aims to systematically analyze the localized application models, implementation effectiveness, and existing problems of OSCE in higher vocational nursing education, so as to provide references for improving the evaluation system of nursing vocational education.
