hello everyone! i will be applying for ces and i have questions/clarifications on the application form. here's what i found unclear for me. pls help me.
a. in the preliminary information, it asked for the country worked in, professional specialty and the numbers of yrs in work. in mycase i'm a new rn and is not yet working. do i have to leave it blank or what am i going to write in it?
b.in the health care education portion, will i put "na" in the "title obtained" for the institution that i havent completed? or just leave it blank? and what should be written in the "name of diploma or certifcate in its original language"?
c. in the "request for academic records" should the lower portion of 1st page be filled up or leave it blank and just attached another sheet of "summary of related learning experience"?
i hope you could hepl me on this .. thank you.. :redbeathe
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.
Some of my friends told me before that they were required to show their license and have it photocopied as a requirement by the PRC before they will accept the request for license validation, but I don't know if it's still required at the present since i haven't been to prc lately for some inquiry.
Thanks you for the information on this and i appreciate it so much..

It never used to and they don't have to as well. I would imagine that the photocopy req't is just a way for them to make it faster for them than go through their records. But I assure you the physical card has never been an issue. Some applicants will not be able to register after a few months and then wait another 2-4 mos or so again to get the physical card. No one will wait for that and all others before you never did.
There's also a service on PRC to get a certification of board rating or board passing and that is on a paper certificate as well and you can request one even if you don't have the hard card yet. Of course, you should at least registered already. So, you see the physical card is never really an issue.
Providing your registration number and PRC verifying it is a standard service. They will only ask for you to fill-up std. questions as well such as when did you take the exam, etc... and they simply go through their records and look for your name and see if it matches with the registration number you gave and all other info. as well. That is it.
Remember when you went to PRC (presuming you have done this) and asked for your scores for each test where they simply write it down on a piece of paper? And how fast were they able to give to you?
It says in the item 12 in the handbook “Send a copy of request for academic records form to each listed school.” Does this only apply to my nursing school, I thought I have to send request from primary to secondary school?
I also have another BS degree, do I also need to send a request on this?
