Which is better for CES? ERES, CGFNS, IERF

by DNac59

Hi, I'm planning on applying for NCLEX in the state of Texas. I am a foreign graduate who has not taken the local board in the Philippines. I am an American Citizen. I would like to know which one of these services would you recommend for me to use? I know that CGFNS has a lot of pros. Some of which do not matter to me. I know that it can be used to help get a visa, which i do not need and that it can be used if I chose to work at a different state, which I am currently not planning on doing as of the moment. I don't know much about ERES and IERF, so any help would be much appreciated. Time is an important factor to me and from what I have read, ERES takes about 3-4wks, CGFNS about 4mos avg, and IERF about 30-40days...I also know about the costs of each, but I want to know which is reliable and which would be easier to apply for. Does anyone have any experience with these places? Thank you for your time. God Bless!

I would suggest Full course by course with CGFNS because if you decide to do further education in the US it will probably be a requirement

Always the CES, if you decide to further your training later on, this is what is going to be needed. No sense in using something else that is not as readily accepted.

Be aware though that many states are now starting to require the local license before they will grant permission to sit for the NCLEX exam, and this may cause issues for you. Just wanted you to be aware of it.

And the states are not caring if one is US citizen or not, but the fact that they trained out of the US makes one a foreign grad in their eyes and subject to all of those requirements.
