thanks for the reply last time, i really appreciate it, I still got question regarding the finger print card request, where should I request it for Illinois application?? Is the fingerprint card request all the same to other states?? And another thing, I did applied online at continental testing site, as I reviewed the printed application I found out that I missed to put some information, does it affect my application If I’ll apply again?? or how will I correct the incomplete info??
thanks a lot..

As long as it is a trained or professional personnel who deals with these things. You might also want to check if the NBI has a satellite office near your area.

hi joanne, i got a few questions regarding nclex result. i took the nclex exam a week ago, computer screen turned black after 75questions, i got so many multiple response items 10 0r more and drugs.. ,mostly med surg.. im a bit stressed now coz days are counting, still no got no result. is the the online license verification a reliable one? some nurses told me that if u passed u will see you name within 4 days if not it means u failed. please enlighten me on this.. thanks you
It depends on what state you applied in. If they are part of the compact states then more or less results would be in. But if the state you applied in does not participate in the compact states then results should come in a month or so.

Good day! I graduated practical nursing last August 2009 in the Philippines. I am planning to take nclex-pn in Connecticut BON. Im immigrant and presently residing here in New Jersey. It says in their website “ Please do not submit your Connecticut licensure application until such time as you are registered for the examination through Pearson Vue. If you are not registered for examination at the time of submission of your application and transcript, it may delay this office’s approval for you to sit for the examination.” This is contrary to what I understand that you have to apply to Board of Nursing for evaluation first for you to have ELIGIBILITY then after that, that’s the time you’re going to apply to pearson vue to have your ATT. If I do what the board says, do you think Pearson Vue would accomodate my registration or application since I dont have yet the bulletin index number that would be issued by board along with your eligibility Pls. help me understand this thing. Thank you so much.

oh, one more thing, i’ve already sent my docs to cgfns for the CES report, in their website(my account), they’ve already sent it to CTS, but that was before i applied in CTS online… would i have a problem with that? and would u happen to know how many months does it take before i can receive my personal copy?coz, i sent the request last august, til now i haven’t received a hard copy from them… same goes with my toefl, i passed toefl even before i applied online and im not sure if theyve sent the report to CTS already… thanks again…
