Need advice on ENGLISH LANGUAGE


Hello All,
I just need some advice to what kind of English exam should i take? I am planning to take the CELBAN(Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses). Anybody have an idea what is this all about? I am presently in Winnipeg. I am a Nurse from the Phillipines. The CRNM still require English exam before writting the Nursing licensure. Hope someone can help me. thank u in advance...

Hi BlueLady79,

I'm not sure this will help you but I'm a foreign trained nurse with French as a first language. I am applying to work in the U.S. and for this I, too, have to pass a test of English. This test shows a candidate proficiency in English as a foreign language; TOEFL or Test of English as a Foreign Language (www.toefl.org). No need to pass a test specialized in "english-nursing"...

Anyway, good luck !
