Anyone International Nurse who is a registered nurse in NEW YORK already

crossbow · Oct 18, 2010

Guys I'm hoping You to answer my questions.
I've read a lot of forums about applying to New York as a registered nurse. But they said that they got a problem regarding cgfns. They said that i took a lot of time before it has been complete or sometimes between the processing failed because of mis delivered letter to the nursing school where they come from.
And I can't see any forum that they said that they complete the processing and got their registration as sooner time.
My I know to all those who are already a registered nurse in new york. Pls tell me how long did u wait to complete the processing
Pls anyone there can answer my question

Are you in NY now or in the continental US?

CGFNS CVS for NYS takes 6-8 months as stated in the many posts here. mine took almost 8 months for CGFNS to submit their report to NYS. However, the time to process could really vary, depending on how your nursing school responds to the transcript request and the mailing time to and from different countries. Good luck!

yes I'm from the Philippines. Nursing is my 2nd degree. I graduated at Fatima Valenzuela. So where in NY are you? Have you started your CVS?

Mine took 8 months of waiting before they forwarded the result to NYSED.

@ xxjjccbb I'm staying here at Rochester NY. How about u.

I graduated also in Fatima Valenzuela last 2008. So probably I gonna wait for 8 months also before the cg will forward my cvs to NYSED

Yup I've already started my CVS last aug. But I got their response letter last october 8 only.

After the CGFNS send their report to NY. How long did NY process the application.

wow i graduated in 2008 too.. but in october.. we probably know each other.. hehe.. i'll send u a pm.. im hear in Fort Drum.. yeah, i submitted mine last December and just got their email that my application is complete by february.. Fatima responded to their request by April i think.. you can call them and ask if they received anything.. that's what i did.. i dont know why PRc took longer.. it was in May that they send my license verification to CGFNS.. and it took 8 weeks for CGFNS to finish everything.. so it was August that they send the report to NYS.. but after that it took only 4 days i think for NY to issue my license.. oh i forgot to say that i did an endorsement of my CA license.. Goodluck!

I graduated in June 2008. May be we know each other by face or you've been my classmate on one of our subjects.

So it took 6 months from the date u receive the letter from cgfns.

BTW just want to clarify.. Do I need to take both . Child abuse course and the Infectious control course.

So I just need to wait probably 6 months. Gosh that's to long.
