hi, a friend of mine told me that this site really helped her a lot regarding her nclex application. im applying for nclex illinois and i’m quite confused about their fingerprint reqt.. my friend gave me a fingerprint card obtained in Cali, can i just change the adress typed there?coz i already had my fingerprint in an nbi offfice… then after, i just have to send it to CTS right? thanx thanx and more power…

You cannot use their fingerprint card since like you mentioned it is addressed to California. Each state has their own set of fingerprint cards and you just have to request it from them.

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…

I don’t think this would be an issue. I am not sure on how long or if you are to receive a copy of your CES Report because as far as that is concerned they just forward the results of that to the requesting Board of Nursing. It would be best to inquire both with TOEFL and CGFNS with regards to this matter.

hi, can i just call the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation-Illinois to obtain a fingerprint card? or do they have an online request form like Cali or New Mexico? i have a fingerprint card that i got from Cali, can i just use that? thanks…

You cannot use the one from California. Proof of fingerprint submission should be in the form of a copy of the fingerprint receipt (for Illinois graduates or Illinois residents), or a completed FP-NUR form for out-of state and foreign-educated applicants. You need to request fingerprint card via MAIL from this address: Department of Financial and Professional Regulation

Hi.. I am an nclex passer of the Saipan bon.. And currently transfering my license to california. I have been waiting and have been trying to call  Saipan bon with no success.. I found out that it takes Saipan bon longer to process endorsements .. Is this true? What can u suggest I do? Can ncsbn help in obtaining information re my license ?

Saipan is not part of the compact states so I don’t think the NCSBN might be much of help. I don’t have much experience in applying in Saipan but from what I’ve read and encountered the Saipan BON does not have their own website if you need to contact them here is the information I’ve gathered. Seems like the best way to get in touch with them is via phone or mail:

Magandang araw po, my daughter will be graduating on March sa Philippines, right after graduation punta na po sila dito sa America, pwede po bang kumuha ng nclex exam ang anak ko sa California without taking the board exam sa Pilipinas?

What is the immigration status of your daughter? Here is the thing the CA BON requires a license in the country wherein she was educated but if she is an immigrant then the PRC might not allow her to take the PNLE thus she can just reason out with CA BON that she is not allowed to sit down for the examination. But if your daughter can take the PNLE it would be best for her to take the examination just so to prevent further problems with her application with CA BON.
