English test for license

Published

I have a question about English test. I got my RN license in NY last year, now Im working on obtaining NJ license. I saw that NJ requires the toefl/ielts/toeic as proof of English. I have a bachelor degree in Liberal Arts from NYU but I have Nursing Associate Degree from abroad. Do I still have to take these tests if I have Bachelor Degree from US?

Have passed an English proficiency examination (applies to graduates of an international education program not taught in English or if English is not the individual's native language);

You could query them if NYU degree acceptible proof of English competency.

Depends. Graduating from a US College or University definitely dictates English proficiency, however if English is your second language some schools may see differently.  I think already having your US RN license should be proof enough, but that is up to the school.  Just ask the school.
