hey joan. Is it advisable, if not beneficial, to apply for visa screen already even if you’re still about to take the NCLEX-RN and the IELTS? Thanks
Nope. I would suggest that you take the NCLEX-RN or the CGFNS qualifying exam and the IELTS prior to applying. A passed NCLEX-RN or CGFNS and IELTS are preliminary requirements prior to applying for a VisaScreen. Hope this helped

i would like to ask kung magsasubmit pa ba ako ng mga credentials coming from the school kung gusto ko mag apply ng reciprocity sa vermont? nakapasa ako ng nclex nov.2007 state ng california, mag eexpire ang nclex by 2010.ano ang pwede ko gawin para hindi maexpire ang nclex ko? one thing na nakikita ko yung mag apply ng reciprocity sa vermont kaya lang, do i need to start over again from the start? yung may mga papafill up an sa school at mga requirements coming from the school ulit like transcript,rle breakdown? please help me. thank you so much.
Unfortunately, yes you would have to start again in terms of the requirements. What would happen is that is California would just endorse to Vermont that you passed the NCLEX (this is done with a form being sent to California by you) and the rest you would have to be the one to provide it for Vermont. Also, Vermont has a form on their own for school documents etc. I suggest that you make the most out of the 3 year period provided since these things also entail time and finances. But if you have the resources you can go ahead and transfer your license.

hai,iam going to take the TAKE NCLEX EXAM 2 TIME,BEC I DIDNOT PASS 1 TIME,I APPLED FOR CALFORNIA BAORD OF NURSING AGAIN BY PAYING 22$,AND AGAIN PERSON IS ASKING ME TO PAY TOTAL 350$ TO THEM.as i belive i should only pay 150$ tp them for exam centre,why should i pay extra 200$ to them gain,i dont understand,help me outt
You need to pay again the $200 registration fee at PearsonVue since your first registration is only valid for one examination. I know that it says there in your Authorization To Test (ATT) that it is valid for one year but its also only valid for one take of the exam. And then, the $150 is additional payment if you are going to take the examination outside of US Territory. That is why all in all you have to pay them $300 again. I hope this helped and let me know if you have anymore questions.

To all nurses na gustong mag endorse sa Vermont..you have to visit their website at www.vtprofessionals.com nandoon na po ang lahat na explanations na kailangan sa endorsement process, you have to do everything as required and of course, you have to submit evrything from the start, like verification sa school at license information. As fellow nurses, I would like to share this to u because I applied Vermont too. Thanks Ms Joan for sharing your information to all of us and Godbless..
Thanks again for the information This will really help a lot of people.

hi po,,help nmn po.pano po ba mgapply sa washington for nclex.may froms na po akong na download,kya lng di ko tlga maintndhan kng pano ung processing.wla nmn ung breakdown ng fee kng mgkano? can anyone help me onthis matter?? tnx po tlga
Here is the link for the breakdown of fees for Washington. So basically for the application you would have to pay $90.00. I am reading the application packet and it seems like you need to take the CGFNS Qualifying Exam not unless you have passed the NCLEX-RN exam in another state then you can proceed with the application. If you have further questions please do not hesitate leave comments here and I will get back to them as soon as I can.

Hello Ms. Joan,Good day.. I want to ask about my existing application in BON-CA.Since I started to process my endorsement in Vermont, do they cancel my application there because I endorse my requirements to Vermont? or they will wait till my result expire. My NCLEX result will only expire this November 2009. One thing is, I want to have a license active in CA so,I don’t know if I could keep 2 licenses in 2 states? I hope u get my point.Thanks a lot

anyone here taking the cgfns qualifying exam on Mar 2010? i need accurate advice as to when is the best time to apply for the IELTS exam. im sitting for the mar 2010 cgfns qualifying exam, is it more practical to wait for the qualifying result before i apply for ielts? no one would want to pay for the ielts exam if he/she failed in the cgfns qualifying exam. has anyone tried this strategy?

hi!
i was wondering if anyone can help me…i am currently in seattle, washington right now…i’m about to become a resident alien and will be getting my social security number soon. i called up the washington BON and was told i need to have my TOR evaluated with CGFNS but it doesn’t necessarily mean i need to take the exam. is this true? and i still also need to take up TOEFL. which is ok with me…but a friend of mine who is a resident in hawaii took a california nclex and processed a reciprocity with hawaii after he got his cali license…and he said the nclex is all that is required in cali..no more toefl…i asked about this with the BON too and they told me i need to have proof of california residence for endorsement…so i’m kinda confused right now whether to a.) just process everything here in washington or b.) try to do it “the easy way”, if it really is the easy way, and just apply for cali and have my cali license endorsed to washington….
help guys! =) thanks…
