Which master's program in nursing would be the best fit for me after completing a BS in nursing, considering I don't want to take an English proficiency test?

An English-test waiver almost never comes from being Indian alone, it comes from your specific university's medium of instruction and how well you can document it, which is why some BSN graduates skip IELTS entirely while others with an identical degree can't.

US Programs With a Real Waiver Path

The UK Route Worth Checking First

University of Bath explicitly names Indian nationals who completed a bachelor's, master's or PhD in India with English as the medium of instruction as eligible for an exemption, subject to its conditions and the specific course's requirements, making it one of the more direct waiver paths available to you.

Don't Confuse University Admission With Professional Registration

Passing admission without a test doesn't get you around nursing registration. If your end goal is working as a registered nurse in the UK, the Nursing and Midwifery Council still requires IELTS Academic or OET for its own English-language evidence route, separate from your university's waiver.

My Advice

Contact your target university's admissions office directly and ask for its exact English-waiver documentation list before you assume you qualify, since Michigan, Rutgers and Bath each phrase the requirement slightly differently. If you're set on avoiding a test entirely, prioritise the UK and selected US universities over Canada or Australia, where the waiver path is generally less established for Indian BSN graduates.
