English Exams
After meeting their educational obligations, some foreign-educated nurses must take one of these English proficiency exams:

•Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
•Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)
•International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
Which test they must take will depend on their home countries.

Some countries, including Australia, Namibia, Dubai and New Zealand, require something called the Occupational English Test (OET) for healthcare workers.

However, those who attend nursing school in the U.S., Canada (except Quebec), the U.K., Ireland, Australia or New Zealand are exempt from the tests. For other countries, if the nursing school taught in English and the textbooks were in English, they are also typically exempt.
