I am really hoping someone on here may be able to help me.
I have a Bachelors of Nursing from an Australian university. On my CES report it states that my Bachelors degree is the equivalent on an American diploma of nursing.
My husband is a hospital trained nurse from the UK. On his CES report it states that his training is the equivalent on an American diploma of nursing.
How can CGFNS say that my husband and my education is the same? I have a university degree and he does not.
I have tried to speak to CGFNS about this but have had no luck getting an answer. The person they said I need to speak too wont return my phone calls or emails.
I really want to do further study here in the US but I need to have the equivalent of a BSN to do it.
Hi, Ahua12, I am interested in contact with you because I have the same problem. I applied to Florida board and cgfns written in CES report I was lacking hours in clinical and theories. Almost same numbers as yours. Where I can find the remedial refresher course to make up my lacking hours. Do you mind to give me some info where you took it?
Thank you very much indeed Ahua12, may I know around how much the cost. So I can prepared and check my saving. I really greatly appreciate you information. Once more thank you indeed for the info.
I can't remember the exact cost, I think it was 1-2k. The course was a month long. 96 hours class, 96 clinical. I ended up working for the hospital system where I did my clinical's. Good luck!
Hi Miriam80 - Which state in the US did you apply with? Which Australian University did you go to? And (one more!) which credentialing service did you use (eg CGFNS)? I'm in the process of applying through the CGFNS and Colorado Board of Nursing at the moment. Thanks!
I am having difficulty getting license verification form from Aphra to CES CGFNS. How was your process ? Aphra refuses to fill CGFNS forms and CGFNS refuses to Accept good standing certificate only.
