Visa Screen Certificate / CGFNS

I took the cgfns exam last June of 2006 and up to now I still have no certificate. I have received my Visascreen certificate though. I that normal? So should I be calling them up & follow up my CGFNS certification?

You will need to pass that exam, or you will find issue with finding an employer to hire you. And if you prepared properly for the first exam, then there should not be an issue with passing of that exam.

my friend's daughter that i mentioned in a previous thread who was able to pass Nclex last dec 18 and was hired as a nurse in a convalescent home in CA since jan 2007 was able to get her CA BRN license using TIN last feb 9, 2007. her lawyer must be a topnotch one since she was just 3 months in the US last jan.
i knew of many nclex passers with tourist visa who got their license only after they got their work permit authority.

my friend is bent on letting her daughter stay in the US until all her immigration papers will be okay as promised by her agency. some friends advised him to let her daughter come home while retrogression is still up, but he said the hospital will do the paperworks. so this week, she filed for her VISA SCREEN knowing fully well that she passed and has a license in the june 2006 nle. still they will take the chance getting the visacreen inspite of the stand of CGFNS. i just can't imagine how they can get away with it and get the needed visascreen. she wont come home and take the boards again.
if and when she will be able to get a visascreen inspite of the odds, i will let you know. How she will do it, we can just speculate . Filipinos are known to be getting things the filipino way. Is it ingenuity? Hope all nurses will follow the legal way of doing things. and I salute you suzanne for helping and inspiring us to do things the legal and easy way.
