STATE BOARD OF NEW YORK Re: How to start the licensure application? - Page 5

You can sit NCLEX anywhere that a pearsonvue center does the NCLEX (not all do NCLEX) doesn't matter where you live and which state you apply to for initial registration. However if you plan to endorse to another state you do still have to meet the state's requirements for foreign trained nurse. I initially went to NY and still had to get CES done for AZ.

If you pass NCLEX for NY then the license is only good for NY same goes for CA, AZ or any other state. If you require a license in another state you have to apply to the state and meet requirements. That means if your dad has a license in NY and CA he will have applied to both states one for initial license and then endorse. You can have as many licenses as you want in the US as long as you meet requirements and maintain license and meet any CEU's

There is a slight difference with compact states but you must have a permanent residence in a compact state to use compact license. For example you have a permanent residence in AZ and get a job in Maine as long as you maintain your residence in AZ you can work on your AZ license in Maine. However if you sell or give up your permanent residence in AZ to move to Maine you have to meet Maine requirements and have a license issued by Maine allowing you to work in Maine. Nevada however isn't in compact license so you will need to apply and meet requirements once you have passed NCLEX (personally if you knew you was going to Nevada you would have saved money and been quicker to apply to Nevada first)

HELP!

I'm about to start my NY processing since it takes a long time.

I'm going to start with CVS...but a friend of mine said it's better if I take the certification program which includes the CGFNS Exam...right?

So what should I do, CVS or CP?


Thanks

I've struck yet another problem...I want to follow up on how my eligibility is going with the NYSED...whom shall I contact to know the details?...CGFNS or NYSED? and if someone knows can I get the contact number...I'm looking through the contact numbers of NYSED but I don't have a clue as to which to contact thank you...

hello there, i have been reading this thread all over, my sister referred me this thread to help me, since i also have the same situation. (but differently, i am already american citizen). i called yesterday opnysed to file 4 a licensure application in w/c they're gonna email me the form.
I'm thinking, after I filled up the app. form,(before sending it to them) what do you personally prefer to take as my next step? (i know about the 6-8mos. duration of the CVS but im going to make this as fast as possible ><), to call cgfns for CVS application at the same time send my form? to take the child abuse coursework beforehand?or take it after i called for CVS application? when should i take this anyway? and about pearsonvue registration, when should that happen?
I'm sorry for so many questions,but i just moved here in NY last October,and i'm new to this since i just graduated this year, i just want to make things go in order (i'm quite the detailed person and also wants to avoid such problems as possible) i hope u understand, thanks for those who will reply!!u will be of greatest help
