Yes i have a copy of requiremnts, but i am confused if i need to do the cgfns and toefl right away or do i need to wait for their reply before doing anything else

The BON will not look at your application without the requirements being met and if these mean English exam and CGFNS then you have to get them done first

So i need to to take toefl and the cgfns and send it to them as soon as possible so that they will review my application, amm what about the aids training? I already send my application and write my initial on the part about aids training thinking that they will consider the aids education taught on school is valid, what do you think? Coz in the checklist part it says self study, courses or training.

Have you done AIDS training in school? most online courses you can do can be free or cost only a small $$. Yes you need to get CGFNS and English exam sorted

We did not actually do a training but it was taught on us during discussions and lectures.

Hi, I just moved to Washington state as well and graduated from the UK last December. I recently applied for a washington state nursing license and currently awaiting a decision from the nursing commission. Last correspondence I received via email from them was to confirm they've received my transcripts from my university. Will let you know of any decisions when hear back from them.

If you graduated in Dec last year do you know if your transcripts have clinical and theory hours in Paeds, Obstetrics, Mental Health and Adult? If you are missing any hours you will need to make up somehow before you can sit NCLEX

They may ask for proof so look out for it

I'm sure I will be missing theory and clinical hours in paeds, obstetrics, and mental health. However I don't know how much hours I'm missing until I hear back from the nursing commission.
