CGFNS/ Brick wall! please help!


Hi Gang,

Im at my wits end, CGFNS have requested my uni transcripts for a third time without a proper reason/explanation for doing so. Each time i get them sent, with everything they ask for, they keep requesting another one. I have been informed by my uni that they are unable to fill in the CGFNS transcript form but are able to send a break down with a cover letter which CGFNS have agreed to accept but they still won't tell me whats missing when i call them for information. They recieved the last transcript on July 17th and I only found out today that this one has not been accepted. I called them and when i informed them that my university had already spoken to them regarding the matter they just said " send us another one and we will let you know if we can accept it !". My tutor was told that a break down in clinical and theory hours would be accepted with a cover letter even if it was not on one of their forms but this seem not to be the case. Anyone else had this trouble and if so is there any way around it ?

I don't know what your question is. If you need a break down of hours call the school and explain it to them.

have you talked to a supervisor? They should be able to explain why the form was not accepted, otherwise you won't be able to send the correct one, right?
If that doesn't work, write a letter with a copy to the complaints department, you could also try email, it's sometimes better to have sth written.

Hi, my school say they cant provide a breakdown of hours. They have informed CGFNS of this by way of letter but still they knock it back, the school in question is UCE, who say they dont provide a breakdown.
Kind regards heartsol.

I am sorry to say if your school can't provide this you can't take the NCLEX, time to move on to plan b.

From you initial post I see you qualified in the UK. Since the USA requires, maternity, Peds, and Psych that maybe your issue.

With retrogression, you can expect a wait for many years to come to the USA. You could use this time to make up the missed hours. I would also go to the school and ask them to sign a letter which states home many hours you spent in class and clinical. You could write the letter and ask the registrar to sign it and put it on letterhead.

hi, my husband replied to your post and got it wrong. The UCE can provide a breakdown in clinical and theory hours but are unable to do so on the form from CGFNS, they have already been in touch with CGFNS

(continued from previous post) and explained their reasons for not being able to complete their form and was told that they could send a breakdown on an attached sheet with a cover letter as long as they completed the details they could including signature and uni stamp on their form. This as been done twice already and now they are requesting a third. The reason the uni cannot complete the form is because the information they hold regarding clinical and thory hours on each student is based on the course they completed and not on the individual students placements.
