If you have never worked as an RN, then you place a "0" there.

You must have completed your training and have received your degree for you to even be sending in anything or applying for licensure/CES. They are unable to do a thing until that time. And the title that is on your Diploma is what needs to be placed there.

The form for the release of the transcripts is what is sent to your school so that they can send the copy to CGFNS for the CES. For each school that you have attended, if the course is not included in that one transcript, then you need to have those sent to CGFNS as well.

They are not interested in a sheet of paper from you, but the actual transcript.

There is already much written on this topic, just recommend a good read here first.

a. which side will it be placed? left or write?

b. which kind of seal? is it a dry seal?

pls help me.. thanks..

You don't have to concern yourself with this. That is the job of the school's Registrar. A signature from the Registrar is usually placed over the flap but again, you don't have to concern yourself with with this. Your Registrar knows what to do.

One thing though is that we advice you to have it sent via DHL or Fedex instead of thru our Post. Just pay what is needed for the courier.

I will applying for CES and my transcripts will be sent from the Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan. My question is, before i went to school in the Philippines, I went to school here in Texas and when I went to the Philippines, I had some of my classes that were taken here in Texas credited, would I have to send my transcripts of the classes I took here in Texas to CGFNS as well? Thank you for your quick response!

thanks you for the quick reply. I'm just worried since we're the 1st batch of nursing class and they don't have experience on how to do this.

Any coursework that has been done after high school needs to be evaluated by CGFNS for the CES. Just because they were credited does not mean that they are on the transcript from there and that is what needs to be in the hands of CGFNS. So recommend that you have the school in Texas send your transcripts to them.

hello suzanne! i just want to clarify this. i attended 2 nursing school. i was not able to finish in my 1st school and transcript was forwarded to the 2nd school where i graduated. my transcript from the 2 schools were merge already. however in the ces form, it asks to "send a copy of request for academic records form to each school listed"

a.do i need to send the request form to my previous school where i didnt finish my nursing education?

pls help/ thanks

If your transcripts where merged and is included in your present transcript you should be OK

SD102 is right. Nursing schools in PH, merge or integrates all previous transcripts into one, so that only the last school will have to send the transcripts.

Since you mentioned you are the 1st batch from that school, I would also want to add that transcript evaluations from schools that CGFNS or a State BON that no prior history with will usually take longer than usual.

Will just mention about license verification w/o the actual physical card.

The actual hard or physical card was never ever required by CGFNS at all and I mean never ever since they have their own License Verification Form.

That is why all services from CGFNS or ICHP uses their own License Verification Form to be given to each country's Registration Authority.

That is the purpose of the Form. It only has to be signed by the applicant and the license number indicated on the form and counter-signed by the Registration Authority and dry-sealed. That completed License Verification Form now stands as an official certification from the Registration Authority (the PRC in the case of PH) so that a copy of the physical license need not be submitted anymore. Not to mention that that Form once signed and sent directly by the PRC themselves is more secure than photocopying an actual physical license and having it sent by the applicant. The whole purpose of that Form is for anti-fraud.

This is nothing new at all that some make it appear. You only need to register. The registration number is actually also your license number and PRC just writes the number and certifies that that is your license number. That is it.

And another FYI that some may not be aware of as well but that all that have actually gone to PRC and simply ask is that PRC actually allows some nurses to register ahead of the others (by-passing the alphabetical schedule) if they have plans to take the CGFNS exam ASAP since the exam dates for the exams are fixed. PRC allows these nurses to register ahead of their scheduled appointment if they give evidence that they will indeed have to apply for the CGFNS Certification (exam) ASAP and that their scheduled registration will make them late for application since CGFNS imposes a deadline to send the application to them as well if you want to take an exam on the date you want. This is only one of the times that PRC allows nurses to register ahead of the others. But this is nothing something new at all as well. This has been done ever since.
