Who did CES and how long did it take?

Here is my experience;

July 2005 - I downloaded the form and requested FBI Finger Print Card.
- Requested my Brother to submit the request form to my school
for them to fill up and submit directly to NM BON in sealed
envelope. (but my bro mail it to post office within the vicinity of
the school.
- Started NCLEX review (NSNA 5th edition)
August 2005- Received the FBI card and completed the finger printing
(Police department CIDG) on the same day. Finished the
Notarization same day. Filled up the application form and paid the
fee using my credit card.
- submitted the application and FBI card (bankdraft) through
FEDEX.
- Received email from NM BON to register to Pearson and I did it
quickly.(i'm online then)
- Received ATT 5 minutes after registration.
- Called Pearson Australia for Hongkong Exam using again my
credit card.
- On going NCLEX Review
September 2005
- Still in Review mode ...NCLEX Review NSNA + Saunders Q&A.

October 2005
- Went to Hongkong took the exam stopped at 75.

- I saw my name with my License Number.
- Bingo!!! I passed the exam.
- Received pass result after one via snail mail.
- Received Nursing License (Like ATM card) again after one
week.

Hope this help.....

Well,
I just send CES out to CGFNS , so I can not really tell you how long it will take. I need that service for MA. I tried CVS N.Y. and after 12 months (!) no report issued to BON N.Y. . I hope, that CES will work out better for me. I thought about Vermont, but my problem is that MA still wants some kind of credit evaluation, no matter what.
One of my friends did CES , she got the ATT within some months after they had all her stuff, she also works in MA.
I figured out that if the school is not cooperative or the letters from CVS get lost, you are doomed. Both, the CVS and the schools always said "we have never received a letter" or " you need to be patient, we are working on that", which is still the status after one year!The idea that CES chases the transcripts and does the translation sound good, but if it doesnät work for one reason, there is nothing you can do.
Good luck!
