I just finished my BSN in Puerto Rico and the school I graduated from in P.R. is accredited by the NLNAC. I contacted the CT board of nursing before going away for school and I was told that I would be able to apply for licensure once I returned to CT, but there is another student that graduated from the same school that I did that was told that she would need to go through the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGNFS). This set her back approx. $800 dollars and it took several months for her to get permission to take the NCLEX-RN. Was I misinformed or am I okay? I would hate to pay the $90 application fee only to be told I need to pay another $800 and then wait an eternity to take the NCLEX.
