florida, english test

[RN_23]

florida bon stated that

"7) Successful completion of any one of the acceptable English competency examinations:• A minimum score of 540 (207 on computerized version and 76 on the Internet basedversion) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Examination

• A minimum score of 79% on the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery(MELAB)• A minimum MELAB converted score of 79% on the Michigan Examination for theCertificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE) Examination

• A minimum score of 725 on Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)

• A minimum score of 6.5 overall with a 7.0 on the spoken portion on the academic versionof International English Language Testing System (IELTS);

• Completion of a nursing program given in English in another country;

• A passing score on a nursing licensing examination which is given in English;

• Completion of a college level course for academic credit in a U.S. institution

• A valid High School Diploma earned from an English speaking country

Q: as the bold text above says, does it mean that me as an RN in the Philippines doesn't need to take English test anymore?

I also wanted to reciprocate my license here in Nevada once available, will they ask for an english proficiency again considering that florida has already granted me a license?

Why not go to the source? Ask the Nevada BON.

Moved to Nurse Registration forum. Each state is different and some will require English exams even when endorsing. As mentioned in previous post better to go direct to source

Im a little confused how some did not send english test while other says they did in florida. Im budgeting my expenses so i want to make sure before submitting an application. I called both offices and they want me to apply first before they can evaluate.

I'd like to know who else has the same situation before or know how they did it. It will be a great help for me. Thanks

You'll just need to budget to allow the cost for the submission of the non refundable application fees, whether it's approved or not.

As it was mentioned to you earlier, until you apply there's no way the transcripts can be reviewed. You're going to get 50% saying no English test was needed and another 50% saying it was required.

Each application is always at the minimum, are done on a case-by-case basis.

Should the evaluator say you don't need the English test, then, that's it. If the evaluator says you do need the English requirement, then you'll just have to do it.

Remember you're asking everyone here who has been thru the FL or NV or AZ BON (or whatever state BON) to evaluate your transcripts without even looking at it.

No one here from the owner of this site to the most popular posters can give you the correct answer on the English test requirement. It's not a right or wrong answer, as each applicant is different and some might be the same.

The final decision as it was stated to you earlier is the BON itself and in order for the BON to do so, they need to look over your transcripts, it's that easy.
