The NMC UK is currently deliberating on making changes to English language requirements for internationally educated nurses. The three proposals being considered are:
1) To remove the requirement that a pre-registration nursing and/or midwifery qualification that was taught and examined in English must have been gained in the last five years to be accepted as evidence of English language competence.
2) To change the required standard in the writing element of the Occupational English Test (OET) from a range of 350-440 to a range of 300-340.
3) To accept a relevant pre-registration nursing and/or midwifery qualification gained in the last five years as evidence of clinical competence for readmission to the register.
If implemented, do you think these changes will make any difference? Let's know what you think in the comment section.
