Dear Kim,
Good morning. ..Thank you very much for the reply regarding CELBAN.
I am currently residing in Abudhabi, U.A.E since last 8yrs, working as Registered Nurse in OR, in one the reputed hospitals in U.A.E.
Basically l am from the Southern part of India, Kerala. I hold the Canadian PR from 2010.But I stayed there in CA, only for a sum of 2-3 months.Actually Abudhabi is my first stop outside India.
I tried IELTS few times,after having the coaching class in India in 2004.Recently I received an IELTS score of overall 7.0(L-7.5, R-6.5, W-7,S-6.5).Unfortunately for CNO, they need a 7.0 band in speaking.
I will be relocated in March.I successfully completed the CRNE.[Now the NCLEX is required.] For the process of registration completion, l need either IELTS/CELBAN.
I have done the free self assessment for the CELBAN, (R-8 and L-9).So I need further assistance in CELBAN preparation. How can I register myself for the CELBAN prep? Is there any form to be filled out?
I need a positive reply before the offer expires.
Thank you again and expecting a reply as early as possible.
With regards, L
Dear L,
Let me congratulate you on passing the CRNE [the Board exam required before the NCLEX]! This is not an easy feat! Also congratulations on such a great score on the IELTS. I know it is not high enough, but it is a great score.

Dear Kim,
Once again I want to thank you for the blog and articles you shared with me. Now, my mind was clear and regained eagerness to study.
By those inspiring words that I had read that almost similar on my situation. I was encouraged to start preparing now for celban. I don’t want to waste my time. Since, you told to your students that it take about 6 months to prepare and it depends upon everyone weaknesses.Also, we have only three chances to take the celban. Moreover, I far as I understood that there is no difference in celbanprep review wherever I am either in canada or UAE. Maybe this is the best time to start now because I knew that I cannot give my full attention to review when I’m still new in canada. I need to adjust with the culture, climate etc. My plan is to take celban as soon as possible after I arrive and maybe on September or October this year.I hope I can make it.
Anyway, thank you for your advice.
M
