Which CES did you use for NM? CGFNS, ERES,IERF or JSILNY?

I just did one for Texas.

CGFNS, ERES, IERF were my only options.

I called each of them, and tried to weed them out.

CGNFS was the easiest to reach, and I could get a person each time I called.

I also took the advice of this forum and choose CGNFS, because they seem to be the most popular if you change states.

I also asked the Texas state board of Nurses which one they rec'd the most application from and they told me CGNFS. So far I have been pleased with their services.

I say go for CES of CGFNS. Unless you intend to stay in New Mexico for a considerable amount of time. If not, then it might be an issue again when you apply for an endorsement of a RN license from another state. Basically, all state recognize CES of the CGFNS. I cannot vouch for the other institutions.

CES full course is a good one to get because if you decide to do any further courses or education then it is usually a requirement

Please do not state that you did one as you are not a nurse, so that others do not get confused here.

Glad to hear that you liked CGFNS.

Always use CGFNS for the CES; it is accepted by all of the states that require a credentials eval as well as all universities if one desires to continue on with their schooling.

Makes no sense for anything else as sooner or later one may move and then have to do things all over again.

CES is the name of the credentials eval used by CGFNS.

The issue with using something different from that is if you decide to work in another state later on, you will be paying for another credentials eval to be done. Only the CES done thru CGFNS is accepted by all states that require it as well as universities if you are going to go ahead and further your education.

The other thing is that ICHP can use the documents that are submitted for the CES to complete the CES; if you go thru another company, you are still going to have to submit everything again for the Visa Screen Certificate.
