The IELTS score is accepted by more than 9,000 organizations worldwide, including schools, universities, employers, immigration authorities and professional bodies. Nursing registration bodies in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada & Australia accept IELTS

ABOUT IELTS

  1.  Many countries including USA, UK, Ireland, Australia & Canada are facing a shortage of nursing professionals. There are simply more positions than there are qualified nurses to fill them.
  2.  With aging populations and the rise in chronic diseases, health systems everywhere are under strain.
  3.  Healthcare facilities have been turning to international nurses for decades. International nurses do not take jobs away from domestic nurses; they simply supplement your current staff and provide care and comfort to your patients.

  1. If your facility is considering international recruitment, you will come across two very different models:

    Direct Hire

    Once the international nurse arrives at your facility, he/she becomes your permanent employee and receives the same salary and benefits as your regular nursing staff.

    Contract Hire

    The international nurse is employed by a staffing agency that contracts their services to your facility.
