    According to this guide does it means the exam needed for Ireland is only IELTS, No CBT, OSCE or any adaptation course ???????

    1. 9ja Nurses says:

      After assessing your qualifications and training, then NMBI will decide whether you will need adaptation course or not and their decision will be communicated to you

    2. Anonymous says:

      Hi, IELTS is written in Nigeria. Adaptation/ osce is done after you’ve gotten your decision letter.

  2. Gift says:

    Kindly explain more about the required ielts score. I learnt it can be 6.5 in any module but am seeing a different thing from this page.

  3. Rebecca says:

    According to what’s here is it only for RN /RM or just an RN can apply?

  4. Heleno says:

    Please can a UKVI ACADEMIC IELTS result that meet this requirement be used or must it be standard ACCADEMIC IELTS RESULTS. I am asking because the result I have is a UKVI ACADEMIC IELTS result.

  5. Ochomma Elizabeth Ebele says:

    I was told that no ielts is needed but after working for 1year, one can automatically migrate to the UK to work as a qualified nurse with irish licence without writing ielts and osce again.

    1. From what I know, part of their requirements to migrate to Irish as a nurse,you have to either IELTS or OET Results.

  6. Dupe Amos says:

    Please can I migrate as only RM

  7. Okpara Cynthia says:

    Please are we supposed to do NMC verification before doing recognition and registration?

    1. NMC VERIFICATION FIRST BUT IF POSSIBLE YOU CAN DO IT TOGETHER
