MAC11

hi good day to all, my name is Mac and i need your help guys ,napasa ko yung nclex sa CAli then na recieve ko na yung license ko, wala akong local license and ielts, gusto ko sana mag work dito sa illinois ,ask ko lang kung pano mag pa endorse and yung mga requirements na kelangan,please help me salamat in advance

Hi Mac! First, congratulations on passing the exam If you want to practice in Illinois you would have to endorse your license to that state. You can view the Endorsement Application for Illinois at the link provided and most of the information you need are there. You would also need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) as part of their requirment as well as avail of the CES Report by CGFNS to assess your school credentials.

I just recently discovered this site and I find it very helpful.I would like to inquire about my Visa screen certificate that will expire on 2010 although all my papers are already submitted in NVC by my employer and I am just waiting for my case to be current. Due to the retrogression, I am confused what will happen to my Visa screen since I only got CGFNS and IELTS certificate and until now I havent got RN US license. Thank you.

Thank you very much glad to be of help to everyone. Well as long as your papers are not yet filed you would have to renew your VisaScreen certificate to make it current. To be sure, verify with your employer or agency that is handling your documents for the US. But as far as I know it has to be renewed until your papers are finalized. Reading the link provided about Renewing Expired VisaScreen at the link provided might be helpful to you.

hi..how can i forward my nclex result to cgfns? my state is california…

You would have to send the Verification of License Form which is provided by CGFNS to the California Board of Nursing. Fill out the necessary details and mail it to this address:

California Board of Registered Nursing
Attn: Renewals Unit
P.O. Box 944210
Sacramento, CA 94244-2100

Also, please do not forget to include a money order of $60 and make it payable to Board of Registered Nursing. Once they receive the forms, they will be the one to forward it to CGFNS .

hi, ms. joan!  im glad to see ur website and it is so nice of you to help us your fellow nurses..  i have certain concerns and hoping you could help me..

Thank you very much and glad to be of help.

first: is it true that if I will apply for New York NCLEX-RN i must get CVS first and wait for it for about 7-8 months? is it really that long? then after that i will have to wait for another 4-5 months for eligibility?

The CVS requirement is correct. But as for the waiting time it might vary due to a lot of factors. Of course, if you give the correct requirements and information to CGFNS processing would be faster. You are given a year to fulfill all the requirements needed by CGFNS. As for the processing in New York that is another thing and processing will vary from one applicant to the other.

second: if i will apply for CA NCLEX-RN and fortunately i will passed it, is it possible that i could work in NY instead? how long will it be process?

You can always transfer your license to New York but the thing is you would still have to fulfill New York Board of Nursing’s requirements which is the CES. So it would be better to apply to  the state where you really intend to work in.

i will appreciate any information that you could give me.. thank you! God Bless! 

Hope this helped

hi ms. joan! thank you for the infos here, they’re really helpful. i would just like to ask, if you requested for the fingerprint card first thru the link that you gave in the article above, will the board send it and ask you for the payment after? or they won’t send it unless you payed them first? thank you for you help in advance. i really need guidance coz i’m pressured by my parents. i don’t know if i should work first or get these exams over with.

There is no payment for the fingerprint card. They will just send you the fingerprint at no charge. Do not give in to the pressure, I am sure you’re parents are just thinking what is best for you. Stay positive and keep your cool Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
