lastlid,

As with most things it's not quite a simple as it could be.
There's not really any accurate direct conversion of scores between the various tests.

IELTS has 2 different versions, General (easier) and the Academic (more difficult) .

For nursing the IELTS requirement states:-

You must complete the academic version of the IELTS test and achieve:

At least 7.0 in the listening and reading sections
At least 7.0 in the writing and speaking sections
At least 7.0 (out of a possible 9) overall

We will not accept applicants who score lower than this standard.

A TOEIC minimum score of 780 would be approximately equivalent to IELTS score 7

It may not be perfect but at least gives an idea.
