Hi. I have an anoying problem regarding OSCEs. I get really nervous before the stations and this makes my palms sweat, so for the practical stations e.g catheterisation, cannualtion... I can't get the gloves on because my hands are damp. Its really embarrassing!!! In the mock-OSCEs I lost 5 marks on one station for not being able to "competently don gloves of the appropriate size". Does anyone else have this problem???? Or have any advice about what to do??? Its really frustrating wasting the 7 minues and I don't want to look totally incompetent. Help!!??!!
