My interpretation is if your country's main language is not English then you have to sit a English exam regardless if already a resident of the US
2. **Validation of English Language Proficiency
If you have graduated from a nursing program in a country or territory where the principle language is English, i.e. Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, Trinidad,
Tobago, South Africa, Ghana, Jamaica, Barbados, or United States/territory, you are NOT required to
validate your English language proficiency skills to obtain a license in Nevada.
If the principal language of the country where you completed your nursing program is a language other than English, you are required to take and pass any ONE of the following options. You are required to complete an English proficiency exam regardless of your country of citizenship, language of instruction, or green card status.
1. The Internet –based (IBT) TOEFL minimum passing score is 84 with a 26 in spoken English.
For TOEFL testing information contact Email [email protected] Website TOEFL: Home
OR
2. Pearson Test of English Academic with a minimum passing score of 55 and no individual section below 50 For Pearson Test of English information Contact Website http://www.pearsonpte.com/testme/pages/testcenters.aspx

Hi guys good day. I would just like to ask if any of you think they might accept my IELTS score for Nevada. The thing is, i took the TOEFL exam two weeks ago. I got a 97 overall, but I only got a 23 for the speaking part. The Nevada board requires that you get at least an 84 overall, and a 26 for the speaking part. I also read there in their page that you can:
The minimum score of English proficiencymust be achieved before you can be issued a license in Nevada. All test results must besent directly to the Board.
 The Internet-based (IBT) TOEFL minimum score of 84, 26 spoken English;
 Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) with a minimum score of 55 and noindividual section below 50;
OR Submit documentation of successful completion of an English proficiency examaccepted by another US board of nursing.
I also took the IELTS last December and I got 7.5 for overall band score and 7 for speaking which is generally accepeted for most states that accept IELTS. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with regards to applying for a nevada license. Im thinking, that I can also submit my IELTS score together with my TOEFL score to show acceptable proof of my proficiency in english.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can be of help :)
