I have a friend who recently received a letter from BVNPT. Yep, she wanted to challenge the NCLEX-PN through BVNPT because of the current BRN's requirement for IENs to take up deficient courses like Med-Surg, OB, Psych, Peds, etc. She is apparently required to undergo CGFNS before getting the eligibility to take NCLEX-PN from BVNPT. This saddened her so much cuz she waited almost 6 months (including the sending of transcripts to the board, etc.) to receive an eligibility letter, and then she has to process her transcripts to CGFNS (much longer).
She said that BVNPT started to do this rule, policy or requirement last April or May 2016. Is this true? I applied last 2015, so I'm not affected. However, I have heard that a number of applicants (IENs who want to challenge the NCLEX-PN) are now required to process through CGFNS. If you're one of them, please comment so that we'll know how the application is going for this new process for IENs. It might be an upsetting, tiring, or saddening change. But please comment so that others will be flagged or informed right away. Thank you.
