CGFNS update for Moscow nurses

Hello, Suzanne!

this is my first post in the forum so I wanna say Hello to everyone. I find this forum very useful. I'm a an international nurse. I live in Russia. I've got two diplomas - a nurse diploma and a diploma of MD. but I still wanna work in the Us as a RN.

I wanna ask about the CGFNS in Moscow,Russia. it's a very good news that yhe new office is opened in my coutry.

but I don't understand - what does the deadline mean? Does it mean that if I send all the papers to the CGFNS office for evaluation before Oct,5 I will be scheduled for Nov,9 exam?

thank you

Yes. I got 597 & 4.5 on TOEFL & 50 on TSE. I think that's enough.

I just can't understand why I can send my papers so late - for other locations the deadline is Aug. What makes Moscow office so special? Is CGFNS going to proceed the papers from Russia much faster than anywhere else?

To be honest I already knew that there will be opened office in Russia. But I just couldn't figure out why the deadline is on Oct.

Suzanne, you are the greatest help. You are the God blessing to all of us. Thank you very much for providing such information.

I've got some more questions concerning CGFNS (if you don't mind ^-). Do guys in CGFNS have to already get all my papers before Oct, 5 or I just have to send it before the deadline?

Is it possible to send the papers via first-class mail (i.e. DHL or UPS) to save time or I have to use the snail (regular) mail?

What will happen if the CGFNS gets my papers before the deadline but there will be some mistakes in it? - If I send them the rest of my papers later than Oct,5 will I still be scheduled for Nov,9? Or I have just one shot to send the whole package will only correct papers?

I'm asking this because I'm afraid that the CGFNS will find some mistakes in my papers (noone in my nursing colledge speaks English, so it will be very difficult for them to fill out the papers). And I don't wanna wait until next exam date.

P.S. please exuse me for my English-writing. I still have some problems in expressing my thoughts on paper.

thank you very much!

would always recommend using UPS, FedEx or DHL it is quicker with cgfns. Snail mail will take weeks before they will open it

I'm afraid I won't be able to get my paperwork done before the deadline. I still have to get some additional hours to my nursing diploma cuz I'm difficient in psychiatry, ostetrics and therapy.

I kooked up I other threads about the VisaScreen. Do you think I have to apply for VS now even if I'll take the CGFNS test on March to save time as long as I passed the English-skills exams?

wow! I didn't know that there is possibility to take NCLEX in London. I'll think about it. but I know nothing about applying for the NCLEX. previously I thought that I'll be able to take NCLEX in the US after getting the visa through the CGFNS.

how will I evaluate my international education (diploma)? do I still have to deal with CGFNS and their Credentials Verification?

I don't wanna seem to be lazy but could you give me simple step-by-step plan what to do? I mean I don't understand the procedure of getting the visa through NCLEX.

is passing NCLEX enough to get the Visa Screen? I'm afraid that I'll be requested to pass the CGFNS exam later if I need to make an endorsement of my licence to another state (i.e. Colorado).

do you know the exact amout of hours which need to be written in the application so there will be no shortage? I you do - please send me a pm.

(suzanne recommends this route

is passing nclex enough to get the visa screen?yes

i'm afraid that i'll be requested to pass the cgfns exam later if i need to make an endorsement of my licence to another state (i.e. colorado). most states now are ok with ces from cgfns i think there are only 1 or 2 states now that have requirements re cgfns exam

suzanne has put this together read and see what you think https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98305
