Why is this good news for nurses?
This is good news for nurses, especially because OET is a profession-oriented exam. This is highly beneficial as nurses can prove their English language skills within the context of their medical working environment. The fact that the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is accepting the OET exams will contribute to meeting the need for nursing staff across the USA. If you are looking to migrate to America on a nursing visa, this is the perfect time to do so. Having the NCLEX- RN certification allows you to work all across the United States as a registered nurse. The possibilities this brings to your career as a nurse in the United States are immense.
Migration using the I-140 form as a foreign worker in the United States option is also open to you once you pass your OET exam. Taking the OET exam and working as a nurse in America not only brings many financial and professional benefits, but is also considered to be one of the most rewarding career paths you can follow.Â
