Can CGFNS reports issued in New Jersey transfered to Texas?

Published

Hi,

I'm a new immigrant to the U.S. I applied for CGFNS CES Professional report for New Jersey. I have a few questions regarding the matter.

1. A hospital was offering me work in Texas. I was wondering if I could:

a. Transfer the recipient from New Jersey to Texas BON.

or

b. Wait for the report from NJ BON and pass it on to Texas BON so I can take the NCLEX for Texas.

2. Is the CGFNS report requirements (i.e. CES or type of report) in NJ and Texas the same?

Any kind of help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

You just complete a form with CGFNS and pay a small fee and they will issue a CES report to Texas

So after I get the result of my CGFNS in New Jersey I could just have them send the same report to Texas so I can take my NCLEX in there?

Thank you.

Process is apply to the state meet requirements and if not yet sat NCLEX receive eligibility to sit NCLEX organise sitting NCLEX wait for results and if pass get license

Remember NCLEX is national so doesn't matter where you sit it it is the same

I would hardly call it a small fee. I have an active Mississippi license (compact state), passed NCLEX in 2009. We are moving to Missouri (another compact state), and to get my license there, they have to have a CGFNS report before they will issue me an RN license. Since the format of the CGFNS CES reports have changed since I had my Mississippi one done, CGFNS won't even do it as a re-evaluation...I just had to pay them $335 (plus another $100 for one to be sent to Oklahoma, who I am also applying for a license with) for a grand total of $435. Neither state will issue me a temporary license, because I am foreign trained, despite having an active license and having passed NCLEX. CGFNS takes 10-12 weeks to issue the report, so I am stuck not being able to work until they've done it. Want to know the *really* stupid thing? Because MO is a compact state, I can legally work there for as long as I want to on my Mississippi license, as long as I don't reside there. But since I actually want to live there and transfer my license over, I have to go through all this crap...AGAIN. Grrrrrrrr. :madface: :banghead:
