VisaScreen vs. CES for Vermont International Nurse NCLEX pass endorsement application

World Immigration

Published

Can anyone help me? i intend to get licensed in Vermont since the California BRN has already issued a statement that they will no longer extend validities of pass letters effective, if i'm not mistaken, april 10 or 30, 2010...

i'm wondering, since i already have a VisaScreen certificate, do i need to apply for a CES again?... the process seem redundant since the CES will be requiring me to submit credentials which are exactly the same as the ones required for my VisaScreen...

i just want to know if anyone has been in the same situation and what they did... and how long did it take to get licensed in Vermont?... :confused:although i totally get the California BRN's move, i still would not want to have my NCLEX go to waste... :crying2:

pleeease help anyone?

thank you!

thank you can-rn-immigrant. i have another question. what are the information that i will include in the request letter that i will send to CA BRN for the candidate report? thanks again

hello angel... i am still in the process of having my nclex endorsed to vermont as well to obtain a license... now is the best time to have it processed while you have ample time... mine will expire on feb of next year...

in the request letter, include your complete name, DATE and TIME you took your NCLEX and the place where you sat for your NCLEX... i also included the file number of my nclex pass letter (the one they sent me informing me that i passed the nclex)...

and yes, the CES report is faster to process because most of the documents they require are the same as with the VSC... but you CANNOT substitute your VSC for the CES report... so you have to order a CES report from cgfns and pay another fee...

goodluck and i am glad to be of help!:D

thank you so much can-rn-immigrant! you're of great help indeed! I'll start mine as soon as possible. :nurse:

Hi! Good morning. Are you done applying for your vermont-specific ces report? Can you please help me? we are of the same situation. I'am also applying for a license in vermont because my California nclex is about to expire this coming october. I already have a visa screen certificate. can you please teach me the steps in applying vermont-specific ces report?

Thank you so much.

hi. we have the same situation. my nclex will also expire in october and i was not given an extension by cali bon. are there other states which i can apply for endorsement? my employer is in new jersey. i was thinking of applying for an endorsement there but the endorsement form needs an ssn number. is there anyone here who was endorsed to nj from california?

another question, if i will be endorsed to vt and be given a liense, how many years will it be valid? if the time comes that it will expire soon and i am still here in the philippines, how will i renew it? thank you.

have you started your process of endorsement to vermont?

hi can-rn-immigrant, I have already applied for Full Education course by course ces report, tnx for your help. But I'am confused with the cgfns autoreply email that I still need to submit the following requirements;

- Validation(s) of your original and current international registration/license as a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse from the issuing authority(s)

- Full academic records/transcripts of all healthcare degree/diploma programs completed outside of the U.S.

- A completed "Request for Academic Records" form-for nurses only

- Documentation of your secondary school (high school) education

But when I checked on my cgfns account online, it is posted there that they have already received and I meet all the requirements needed, such as secondary shool diploma, license validation, and transcript validation. Can you please tell me what does it mean? Thank you so much.

the email is probably an automated one that is sent out. If you have vsc then they can use already received documents

louise peter, silverdragon is right, i think it's an automated thing they sent out, though i did not get any email from them aside from the confirmation of my purchase of the said CES... if everything is in order and all your necessary documents for your CES is with the cgfns already, then you should see on your online account a "Certificate or Report Issued" at the end, much like the one on your VSC...

i am still in the process of having my license endorsed to VT... i just mailed my letter of request for a copy of my candidate report from CA BRN... but i have everything else covered, that's the only document i need to submit my application to VT...

goodluck to us all!!! btw, i heard that the license is to be renewed every 2 years cris25...

Hi! I'm applying for CGFNS Healthcare profession and science report... In filling out the secondary school portion, I can only put one since if I add a new school it will again ask the date of my graduation from that school(that has an * sign, meaning, it is required to be filled out). But I have 2 secondary school and of course, I graduated in only one of those school.

Part 6 of my online application, It asked me to check the part that I want to send to IL BON... I checked the license verification and my nursing school... should I also check my HS? I,again, applied for HP/S report... Thanks!

If you have vsc then they should be able to use the same docs. Just submit application and fee for CES and they should do the rest

i would like to ask.. how is your application to vermont? do you have an idea for how long will it take? and did you fill up the Graduates of International Nursing Schools International Nurse NCLEX Pass Endorsement Application form?

Hi! i am an nclex-rn passer as well (CaliforniaBON) and i am planning to endorse my nclex result to Vermont. my question is: do i need to take the cgfns certification program?? because I just read the application packet from vermont and it says there "For RN’s whose nursing program was NOT taught in English: In order to apply to the State of

Vermont, you must have completed the CGFNS Certificate Program."

I am confused. Please help! :(
