Hello! Filipina RN here but am the new kid in the area now though!

I'm deciding between initially getting license in Illinois or Indiana then just endorsing in either of them after the other. 1 hour away from Chicago and I found out it doesn't require the CGFNS exam. (Makes it cheaper than IN but I have to say that the application instructions of IL are pretty confusing!)

How about you? Where are you working now?

Welcome! I've taken mine with Illinois and endorsed here in Indiana. Illinois doesn't require the CGFNS exam unlike Indiana.

2008, BSN.

Nope. Didn't receive any letter regarding it either. Just got my license about 5 months ago.

Hi. I’m a foreign graduate with a license in IL and I need to endorse my license to Indiana. How did you verify your foreign education? Did Illinois transfer your CES Report to Indiana BON?
