Does not know which State to take

You can apply to any state as long as you meet requirements. Compact state has nothing to do with it. What status do you have as some states require a US SSN before accepting application?

Also know that most states take a period of length to process applications. They do not work fast.

On TN Endorsement Application, all foreign educated nurses must submit a CGFNS - see page 2 (source)

Good luck!

Hi, Silverdragon! Thank you for the response. I was reading some of the threads and I noticed that you are very knowledgeable about this.

I'm going to marry a US citizen. That's the only reason why I'm going to transfer which sucks. Do you know what state process faster? I'm thinking of applying in Florida or Oregon. What do you think? :)

By the way, I also live here in NS.

Easier marrying a USC and congratulations on your upcoming marriage but sucks you are leaving NS lol,

most states require CES report from CGFNS and that on average takes 4 months so really most states processing times is 4-6 months and then you have to sit and pass NCLEX. So expect to move and not work as a nurse for a while

I emailed Tennessee BON and told them that I don't want to take CGFNS exam. This is the reply, "If you find a state that does not require the CGFNS Certificate and you are license in that state by NCLEX then you can endorse to TN."

I know that process takes time but I don't want to wait for a year to take the NCLEX. I am hoping to find a State that has a processing time of 4-6 months.

Thanks.

Thank you! NS is my life now. Moving overwhelms me especially when I think about my career.

I guess I'm going to apply for CES tonight. I'm still debating which state to apply, Oregon or Florida.
