Hi,u guys.thank god finally i got a canadian nursing forum. I am a registered nurse working in ireland since the last 10yrs. im looking to migrate to canada. i have already given the jurisprudence exam successfuly, i am waiting on an email from CNO to state my eligibilty to write NLCEX.I had given jurisprudence in jan. do i still need IELTS? my question is 1.How long does it take to get a mail from CNO for eligibilty for giving nclex? 2. Since i have 10yr working experience and still practicing in Ireland,do i need IELTS? NOW i have also given ielts with an overall band score of 8 , reading 8.5,listening 8.5, speaking 8,and unfortunately writing 6.5. i dont know if i do need ielts but i thougt no harm giving it just in case. now the problem is do i have to give IELTS again as my writing score is only 6.5 ,as per cno website they need a score of 7 for writing. looking for an apt answer if anyone can help me.
