CVS - NEW YORK - CGFNS 2019

World Registration

Published

Hi guys, I am from outside USA who went thru the process of CGFNS NY to take NCLEX-RN. If you have questions about CGFNS new york, ask me and I'll try my best to answer.

Cos I have seen a topic about this and it has so many threads to a point that it is confusing.

I don't think you have made a mistake. Since it is required for you to select an option, I would select NEPAL, choose your city where you live, choose OTHER (job/profession), 0 years (because you didn't work). I didn't work while in nursing school in Asia as well.

I could select that option but the thing is I have not contacted the NYSED yet, So I wonder is it okay to choose that button? Should I have to do it at the same time NYSED and CGFNS or stepwise CGFNS first and then NYSED.

Because someone said

(The usual process would be:
1. Pay CVS CGFNS NY and follow all the information they gave you to process your documents (like print the CGFNS files & give it to your school/license issuer)
2. Wait for the CGFNS to receive your file (which was sent by the school)
3. Wait for the CGFNS to verify your files then they will send it to NYSED after (8-10 weeks I forgot) regardless if it is done or not. )

I am getting confused here

You can do both at the same time. Either way if your NYBON application arrives first, they will contact CGFNS and see if you have applied for CVS. If your CGFNS is received first, they will contact NYBON to look for your application as well. It is an CGFNS office to NYSED office transaction. Once CGFNS receives your application and has seen that you have applied for licensure, CGFNS will then contact your college and ask them for all the required files. Your school will send it to them and CGFNS will verify it (8-10 weeks I am guessing.) Then CGFNS will contact NYSED and let them know that all your school documents were verified and acceptable. NYSED will then process your application and you will receive the status of your eligibility in the mail.

Thank you for your valuable time and response to my queries. It means a lot to me. God bless you

If it is okay can you please share your email address. Thank you

This is a step that CGFNS is checking whether you have contacted the NYSED (New York State Education Department) to inquire about the requirements to be a nurse in NY state and you are confident that the CVS service is what you need.

Thank you for your response.

So Did you also did the same steps as I did? (Attached file). If yes on the next page you might have seen like this attached below. Here we need to fill up regarding job experience. I do not have job experience. Is it okay?

Could you please provide me your email address. I really need some help. Please

I am currently at S.Korea and originally from Nepal. So its been very dificult to do from here myself.

Your help would be the blessings

Thank you

@NPL

For me , I did below :

1) call NYSED to ask all the questions I have before start application

the first staff talked to me was unsure about many things, so I called the second time that a staff managed to answer my questions. If you have questions, exp The working experience etc, it is better to ask NYSED. I emailed too but no response, so I think making a call works better.

I had work experience and filled out accordingly . So I'm not sure with those who has no working experience.

2) apply for CVS and NYSED Registered Nurse at the same time. When I applied to NYSED RN in Nov2019, they require CGFNS ID. So I have to pay CGFNS to get an ID and fill out NYSED form. Also, New York requires an applicant to complete courses of infection control and Child Abuse. They provided a list on NYSED website about foreigner nurses application, you can apply to those companies and chose one to complete it online and get the certificates mailed (follow the company's instructions) to NYSED. I remember there is a time frame to complete and submit the NYSED application, so make sure you also complete the courses and fill out all necessary questions on NYSED form before the payment deadline.

3) I graduated from Japan. CGFNS did not help to collect any documents for me. Instead , the instructions were that I have to collect the license and educational transcript and make my school mail all of them directly to CGFNS (follow instructions of CGFNS)

CGFNS is still verifying the documents of mine . So that is all I know .

From my experience, the best way to do this is to ask NYSED any questions you need to know the answer.

Apply for CGFNS and NYSED licensure at the same time and go through both forms.

if you need to make international call, there is something called Skype with low rate. I used that to call my school when I need help.

Hi!

Did you have any clinical hours to make up? Was NY easy to deal with if so?

I am now changing from my application to Wisconsin as my fiancé has gotten employment in NY for the next 3 years and my CGFNS application stated I was deficient in my hours for paeds and obstetrics (even though I work with paeds and obstetric emergencies...)

Thank you ?

Hi,

I'm still waiting for Comp Ed to finish reviewing my documents so it may take awhile now especially because of the quarantine. I'll let you know if I have received any response from them.

@PediaNurse

May I ask if you eventually use the service of CGFNS ? If you do , how long it takes for CGFNS to verify your license and school transcript ? Was your school transcript signature and seal valid ? How long it takes for CGFNS to issue report to NYSED after they receive your documents ?

Hi!

I did but I haven't sent them my transcripts. They had eventually verified my education after 9 months. I don't know how they did it, they may have called my school to verify. They sent me an email the next day that they had sent my report to NYSED. I called them and asked how they verified it since I didn't send my transcripts to them and they told me to ask NYSED. I had already sent my transcripts and license verification to NYSED 2 months earlier so I decided not to send another set of documents to CGFNS. I contacted NYSED last week and they told me that they are now reviewing my documents and it may take longer. So I basically paid for CGFNS but didn't use their service. Hope this helps

CVS for NY requires CGFNS to contact your nursing school and obtain any relevant paperwork
