how can i apply for NCLEX without taking CGFNS

[dsingson5]

Hi nursing experts,

Does the Massachusetts BON require a license from the foreign country from which I graduated? I am a permanent resident looking to work in Boston. I'm in SF California right now.

And if not, which of the CGFNS certification would be suitable for me? Lastly, would who know how long would the whole process take? Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

David S.

Starting point would be checking the state BON website (link can be found at the bottom of the page) and see what requirements are for International trained nurse

If the BON require it then you have to go through the process. It all has to do with where you trained not how you got to live and work in the US? VSC requires a pass in NCLEX or CGFNS exam
