I am an competent nurse. It's my dream to work in abroad. Though ,IELTS is a main hurdle for now. I wrote IELTS thrice and everytime i don't qualify reading part(band7) . There should be a reduction in band requirement of IELTS. As we are already giving CBT, OSCE to showcase our nursing field knowledge.
Many filipino nurses cannot afford to pay IELTS in regards to the salary that they are having at work as a nurse. And to be honest, OBS should be recognized rather than specific test score in the IELTS for nurses.
Interviews should be a benchmark on assessing English competency rather than the IELTS. English speaking countries like Zimbabwe and Nigeria have thorough enough English assessments through high school and through nursing practice. Written exams and interviews should be enough.
The ielts requirement has no link to the the category of competency in nursing and the required band is to high especially the reading and writing models should be reduced to at least 6.0 and the payment for this exams is to exorbitant which makes it difficult for non Eu nurses to afford
Please help us to reduce the fees and even the scores to 6.0 in the writing and reading, I wrote the examination once but could not write again because of funds.
Please I want to work in abroad
Pls reduce ielts band for NON European nurses

Even a native English speaker will struggle to make a band 7/9. Nurses do not require this level of English competence to practice. Also IELTS is gradually becoming a money making business I fear.
