GA BON has not received my CES report!


Hey guys,

After waiting almost six months to have my CES report issued by CGFNS;GA BON have not received my report.I have been in contact with CGFNS and they have confirmed that the report was sent electronically as well as by mail.I have already received my copy ,over two weeks now.The last time I called;they asked me to order another report from CGFNS.No one will return your emails/phone calls though they promised to do so.

I am a UK nurse.My report shows that my secondary education is comparable to a USA high school diploma,my nursing education is comparable to a USA registered general nurse.Just thought that I would mention this due to the fact that many UK nurses are wondering about making up hours.It all depends on your nursing school back home in the UK.

Any advice guys?

Chavelle.

Seems to me you are left with no choice but to order it again. Sorry you are forced to go through these delays.

I won't pay for it as CGFNS can prove that they received it.I am sooooo sorry that I did not see Susan's advice before I went a head and apply to GA BON. I should have done my research first.I've seen people applied to NY BON with absolutely no problems at all.I would advise anyone to take Susan's advice about applying to NY state for initial licensure.GA BON will have to pay for another report .

Even if you go through NY you still have to meet other BON requirements for endorsing so still need CES doing. My initial application was with NY and when I endorsed to Az I still had to get CES done. Remember CVS with NY can take up to 6 months.

If it has been sent electronically then the BON needs to chase with CGFNS to where it was sent and sort anther one out. GA will not give you permission to sit exam without it

I know that I cannot sit the exam without CES, that is why I applied for it. However, I cannot help it if they have lost my report.CGFNS can prove that it has been received by GA BON. GA board is responsible to order another one.

I only mention NY state because I have seen Suzanne's posts about getting initial licensure in NY state due to less hassle.I do believe what she advised. whenever I read her advices it always turns out to be accurate.You can endorse without so much hassle.If it takes six months I am ok with it if thats the norm,not making mistakes and delaying my report,which is why I had to wait six months.

Thank you for your reply.
