Do all nursing applicants have to take an English test?
NMBA offers evidence pathways. A test is one pathway; education and language history may support another.
What this means for your study decision
The NMBA English standard has evidence pathways; an English test is one route rather than a universal assumption for every applicant. Education and language history can matter to the applicable pathway.
Read the nursing-specific pathway requirements before booking a test solely on hearsay. If you are unsure which documents establish your history, ask for clarification through the relevant official process.
