My wife today received her IELTS academic results for her career as a nurse here in the UK.

Sadly she just missed out as she got a 8 in listening, 7.5 in speaking but just a 6.5 in reading and writing where she needed at least a 7 in all 4 parts.

But she just done 4 weeks review to get to this level and these are a lot higher results than when she applied for her visa 7 months ago.

So I am highly optimistic when she resits this in 6 weeks time after more review she will pass she now knows which parts to strengthen.

I have true faith in her abilities and know she can do it, also with job offers she has received which all she needs is her NMC pin number to start...
