International nurse asks about visa screening

[Nurse Beth, MSN]

Yes, with a 6.5 overall band score in the IELTS,  you should be eligible to proceed with the CGFNS (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools) visa screening process.

Typically, CGFNS (now TruMerit) requires:

• For the IELTS exam, you must have a minimum of 6.0 in each individual band (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing).
• An overall score of at least 6.5.

However, it's always a good idea to double-check TruMerit's specific requirements for your case, as they can change. You can verify the exact requirements by checking directly with TruMerit or reviewing its visa screening guidelines.

Good luck!
