hi fellow nurses! can someone please help me.. im a fresh graduate and just passed the July 2011 NLE..
1. what do i need to put on step 1 where it was asked where u recently worked? do i still need to put Philippines and Manila for the city? i can't leave it blank since there is an asterisk there.. i also put REGISTERED NURSE in the question for recently worked in what profession.. is that alright even though i haven't worked yet as a nurse? i already put zero for experience..
2. on my step 4: education overview, i need to fill up the questions about my school.. i am a transferee, i had my 1st year up to 3rd year 1st semester in DLS-HSI (that was from june 2007 up to october 2009) and then i transferred to UPHSD and i had my 3rd year 2nd semester there and graduated in the same school (that is from november 2009 up to march 2011).. i know i need to put the last school i attended but im confused on what to put in the entry date.. do i need to put the real entry date? because that will be november 2009 and the completed date will be march 2011.. im kinda bothered because they might think that i just had my nursing course for 2 years.
3. i haven't received my license yet because it will be released on november 22, 2011. i already know that the registration number will be the same for my license number.. what do i need to put on my status of my license, Active or Inactive?
I guess its your PRC license. what else could that be, right? You may wanna call them to clarify that if you feel so. Was trying to send u a PM and give my email ad but I guess am not allowed to do PMing.
I am planning to apply for NY CVS CGFNS but then Im confused what to do first.
Can anyone help me through this...
1. Do i need to take the toefl/ielts and have a result before applying CVS? Or i can apply for CVS then while waiting for it will take the english proficiency exam?
2. In NY what kind of exam do i need to take? Is it CGFNS Qualifying exam or NCLEX?
3. I graduated in Philippines year 2008. i had my volunteer experienced in a hospital for less than a year. does it qualify?
4. Regarding the certification of having child abuse and infection control certification. is it really necessary to have that before taking the exam or during this CGFNS process?
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
Every nurse that wishes to work as a nurse in the US must sit and pass NCLEX. Only a handful of states require CGFNS exam. Suggest reading the CGFNS CVS handbook as well as the NY state BON website
thanks

By the way fralizma, from their letter, they are asking for my unofficial license. Do you have any idea what is that? Is that my PRC license?
