HELP, I may be lacking hours to meet state licensing requirements

by rachelr

PLease help me


I am worried that I will apply to a state board or nursing for authorisation to test, apply for the CGFNS for CES and after all this I find out I did not meet the requirements because I lacked theory and practise hours in some areas. Does anyone know of any top up programmes to help me meet those hours should this occur and would this mean that I would have to re-apply for my license after they have been met!

Thankyou

If you allready know that you are lacking hours, I would make those up first. I would think a US college would be better, than looking in the UK, what is very difficult, I only know Brighton used to offer something, but only with an agency, and I think they stopped it. There was a thread about making up hours in the UK , maybe try the search function.

As I stated in another thread better to see if you are short on hours before worrying about making hours up.

I agree with Anna - I thought I'd be short on peds and did a distance course, then my CES report came back as acceptable. Get the CES and see.

Hi

Thankyou for your response! I feel somewhat reassured by this! I just have a couple of questions!!!!!

Do you have to apply to a state board of nursing for license by exam to be elligible for get the CGFNS CES report?

If I do the CES report and find I am not elligible and have to make up hours would I have to re-apply for state license by exam and another CES report when I have completed the hours?

Thankyou for your help!!!!!!!!!!!

I think from memory you just order the CES report via the CGFNS website, and nominate1 or 2 BONs that you want the reports sent to, as well as yourself. I don't know that you need another CES, I think you would just provide the original one and then supply the additional documentation of courses if you had to do extra. Not sure though since mine came out okay.
