CGFNS CES Report Missing Clinical Hours

[mjasinski]

Hello!

I'm a Canadian educated nurse who is trying to work in the States. CGFNS sent a CES Report to Washington for me but in the report they stated I am missing clinical hours in psychiatric nursing and my education is "comparable" because of these deficiencies.

Anyone with similar issues with 'missing clinical hours' still able to get a state license?

For me, I contacted my school in finland and went back during a visit and did the hours. It was just like 10days! I was tired of trying to get a school/college in the US that will even allow me to do the clinical hours as stand alone. My school sent CGFNS a report of the completed hours and I was finally able to get a report without deficiencies...

So glad that worked out for you! This is worth looking into with my school because there's no schools here that would just enroll you in a stand alone course unfortunately ? .. thank you so much!

Hi ,

I had missing gerontology hrs and Texas BON  accepted my current work experience letter.

They should give you a letter explaining how you can complete the hours, if applicable. 

Good Luck.

Hi everyone I trust you guys are doing okey . I'm currently studying mental health nursing in the uk  with plans of moving to the states in the future . I have scorched the internet  to see if anyone has transitioned from United Kingdom to USA through the NCLEX pathway successfully but to no avail .I might  have skipped a couple of things ,im  wondering if anyone have useful information on how to make up my hours now that I'm still in my second year . I just want to get things sorted ahead of time so I don't get stuck on the way . It has always been my dream to work in the states but starting all over agin in the state will be a very expensive enterprise for me to venture into as people have recommended . If anyone could mention or direct me on how to go about this , I will greatly appreciate . My university have been very strict with my hours and cited that spoke placement to other part of nursing won't be reflected on my transcript .As you know , Uk nursing system is all fragmented which makes it difficult for our credentials to be evaluated or comparable to USA standard. I have invested time and money into this but I believe someone out there knows something that could help . I'm just seeking for alternatives to this vein please .
