OET practice for nurses
Original Nursing role-plays and letter tasks in the authentic OET format — played, timed and marked like the real exam.
Speaking: the consultations a nurse actually gets
OET Speaking cards put you in your own profession's shoes. On OEZ, nurses practise scenarios like:
- Discharge education after heart failure — daily weights, fluid limits, warning signs
- A feverish toddler who won’t eat — calming and educating a worried mother
- Teaching inhaler-and-spacer technique to an anxious parent
- A patient refusing thickened fluids after a stroke
Each case hides a real concern the AI patient plays — the way genuine exam cards do — with a live coach on every exchange in practice mode, and full marking on the nine official criteria at the end. Read how the marking works.
Writing: your profession's real letters
Writing tasks match a nurse's actual correspondence:
- Transfer letters to residential aged care
- Discharge letters to the GP or community nursing service
- Referral letters to specialist nurses (diabetes educator, wound clinic)
Authentic multi-visit case notes, five minutes of locked reading, forty minutes to write, and a fact-by-fact content check against the notes. The core skill: select, don't copy.
Where nurses need OET
OET Nursing is accepted for registration in every major destination — with sharply different rules: the UK NMC (Writing C+ concession, two-sitting clubbing), the USA (VisaScreen and 40+ state boards, where Speaking carries the Grade B), Australia's NMBA, and Canadian provinces. Compare them all in the verified requirements table.
