CES and Visa Screen

[MarraRN, BSN, RN]

hi! go0d day :)

regarding Visa screening...

Registered Nurses must meet all of the educational requirements

as a first level, general (Registered) Nurse, CGFNS/ICHP requires

evidence that you have:

* successfully completed secondary school education that

is separate from your nursing education;

* graduated from government-approved, general nursing

program of at least two years in length; and

* received a minimum number of hours of theoretical

instruction and hours of clinical practice in each of

the following:

* Nursing Care of the Adult (which includes Medical

and Surgical Nursing)

* Maternal/Infant Nursing (excluding Gynecology)

* Nursing Care of Children (Pediatrics)

* Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing (excluding

Neurology)

those are their requirements, but what if i already have my CES full education course by course report, do i still need to pass those requirements mentioned above or its already accepted and i can now do the next step?

thanks!

CES is the credentials eval that is needed before some states will grant approval for licensure/ sitting for the NCLEX exam is one step of the licensing process.

The Visa Screen Certificate is needed for immigration purposes. You need to pass either the CGFNS exam or the NCLEX-RN as well as have passed the series of English exams in order to get this certificate.

I have moved this thread to the International Forum since it has nothing to do with working in the Philippines, per the red banner at the top of that sub-forum.
