CGFNS-CVS New York process ?

[philipinonurse]

Hi,

I am very confused about the process of Credential Verification Service (CVS) for New York State.

I graduated from a nursing school in Philippines . But I have neither written the nursing board exam nor registered as a nurse anywhere in the world.

Currently, I am in New York and I need to go through the Credential verification process using the CGFNS CVS service.

However, as a part of credential verification process, CGFNS apparently requires information about my initial nursing license (which I don't have).. I am very confused at this point..

How can I get through the CVS process without having initial nursing license ?

Please kindly suggest me !!!

Same happened to me, PRC verification did not reached CGFNS on time. Fortunately, NYSEd still made me eligible. good luck!

I see then. Thank you so much. Felt relieve. How many weeks did NYSED gave you eligibility? And for how many weeks did you recieved it?

Here's my timeline, CVS report sent by CGFNS last year July 31, 2013. Then by August 6, 2013, i sent my application to NYSEd. By September 28 last year, i was surprised to received a letter from NYSEd dated September 11, 2013 stating that my education is approved and i'm eligible to sit for NCLEX-RN exam. Finally, i took nclex last January 28. Hope it helps. good luck!

For NY you have to go through CVS. I would suggest going through NY only if you plan on living and working there. If you are be aware things are pretty tough job wise due to the high numbers of experienced nursing looking for work

Hi everyone !!

Iam a foreign graduate and I applied for CGFNS Verification Service it's been more than 8 months. My current status is " Ready For Submission" . How long it will take to complete my process??

Hello everybody,

did anyone here experience having their application for CGFNs cvs rejected due to intervening in the process or calling their school?

[vibhasingh]

i would just like to ask how would NYSED process my application from CGFNS.. because i simultaneously submitted my cgfns documents along with the nysed application... am i going to have problems with it?

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Generally NY BON meet once a month to review IEN applications. Depending when they receive your report from CGFNS will depend on how quick you receive a reply from the BON

Hi Smargadine,

I did not hear rejection of application till now but if they found applicant is involved calling their school f nsg or doing any unwanted favour,it may get rejected from CGFNS.
